 Fun interesting fact, okay, we're gonna have fun now. All right Only team ever to win an NCAA wrestling title. What's to the Rockies? Arizona's Arizona state. Okay, Bobby Douglas is the head coach. Oh, there was a bunch of Ohio guys on the team No NCA titles. Yeah, three Zika's the sexy give me the rundown of St. John for four guys from Arizona two from Michigan two from Ohio Yep, no champs right no champs like Davey like Davey and say John the Davies was shard and clean northeast Ohio guys Yeah, I've got the Zeke from Michigan. I've had the unique experience of getting to know all those guys pretty well now They're awesome group of guys. So like an unprecedented thing. It's only been done once it hasn't been done since you're a Western guy I always love asking people from the West about the West because you're you're clearly at a disadvantage as far as Travel time you're at a disadvantage as far as the amount of competition you're at a disadvantage It's not in the Midwest hot hot bed of wrestling. It's really hard to overcome things. It's to an extent. I mean To an extent you look at our recruiting class Two years ago. We got two kids from PA. We got the best kid out of Minnesota We got two from California. I mean we had kids from Florida from I mean we're recruiting Nationwide the coast to coast and we're fortunate enough to have a school like Arizona State to have that drawing power to come in Obviously, you have the great weather, you know great academics who Arizona State's really underrated for academics Our business college is in top five engineering stop 30 I mean the kids are coming in being serious student athletes Can you guys do it again is the vision the infrastructures are we know the infrastructures are they did it in 88? Can you guys do it there are more teams in 1988 a Lot more teams another a lot more teams. I think the quality is a little bit spread out a little bit more I mean when you got I Hate even give another process, you know name dropping, but you look at across the board. I mean There's a lot of really deep deep teams and it seems like every man year. There's another team like NC State North Carolina is coming up and doing great things. I mean across the board is starting of the parody certain to kind of spread out A little bit more Edinburgh had the year two years ago. I mean look at you look at some of these teams It's it's really incredible when Edinburgh is winning all these matches teaching headlocks. I'm gonna start teaching headlocks, too Is a kid in high school you're here in Georgia three season headlocks When you come here to this though, and then you know you guys it takes a patchwork of guys It's can't be all California. It can't be Arizona You know and it's just like all these guys and you know Zeke tells you the team he was on that one Is that something where you're trying to bring these like corners of the country together to win a national title? Is that something you kind of like I said we're trying to actually just go after kids that really are plugged in with the Olympic movement to win a world Olympic title because those guys are all great human beings I mean they are doing the thing living the right lifestyle is going to class being successful and Those are the kids that we're targeting and I think it's going to pay off I think the vision there the infrastructure is there the support of the administration. I mean I can't even Begin to say how thankful I am for our administration and I can honestly say for the NCA championships We were supposed to have three of our Associate athletic directors our head AD two of our associate athletic directors there, but we end up hosting the the NCA basketball tournament for women so our head our head Athletic director Ray Anderson had a pull off last minute and he was like but still hold my tickets because if I can fly out there I'm gonna get out there. I'm gonna get out there. So don't get rid of my tickets. I got Don Bakke. Who's this? He's a gangster. He's a G The guy's been in the game for a long time I mean, he knows everyone and everything and then we got your Ohio Scotty Graham Scotty Graham was New York State Champion wrestling. He's I did you know that I've watched his um state championship match Constantly he'll come in he'll come in he comes in there and puts on you know, he still wants to tell back for a high state Yeah, and I for all pro. I mean the guy's awesome. He's legit. Yeah, he comes in he warms up He stretches out and then he bounces. We never get to see him wrestle, but is this movement the this compound You know the combine call out compound college combine. Is this a movement? You're saying you spoke better earlier football is doing it basketball Does it they specialize with all these different Gatorade Nike under armor? They're all putting on these combine is wrestling moving towards that to help you guys Recruit more effectively and be a better recruiting tool for you guys I think so because I think the quality of the kids getting better across the board when you have More clubs more private coaches I mean there's really good kids out there and you're gonna find kids that have great academics That might just not get the national exposure because they might not been traveling all these you know national tournaments out there There's I don't know how many high school national championships are now and There's flows got one and it just stays got one USA wrestling's got one and there's there's tons of them Do you see yourself going to more clubs to recruit like there's a there's a send there's rhino club There's Burnett train. There's young guns. There's there's just no compound. There's clubs everywhere We we definitely rely on our relationship with the club coaches to help us Get to know athletes better All right. Are you guys gonna win the national title? Are you bringing it back to 10 feet? Is it gonna happen? I am not answering. You're not gonna answer that You guys don't you guys think I'm gonna win I'm not gonna answer that You know what I think we're outmatched right now at the the calves, but you know the infrastructure's there Can you guys do it? Do you feel confident in your guys's system? We have to do the work? I mean we have to do the work. We have to get better. There's no doubt about that I was fortunate enough to be on NCA championship teams. I know the work that goes into it I know the extras There's not any Magical dust we can sprinkle on guys at this tournament NCA champions if I could give you a hundred percent answer on how to become an NCA champion it would The game would be a lot easier. I Like we're at I think our kids are improving. I think they're hungry. I think that they're doing the right things and They're gonna be pretty good
