 Okay coach dresser C3 here, Florida rookie move by you Let's talk about your rookie move. I thought you were a seasoned vatna traveler, but uh Where your clothes? Where's your luggage? It's somewhere in the Daytona Beach Airport right now is what they told me But it was supposed to get in at noon. Obviously didn't get with me last night of my flight I got in late. We had a late flight. So a bunch of coaches were on that flight. So we all got in late and My luggage didn't make it for some reason There's a bunch of guys pull like all you tell your guys not to do for some reason It didn't make it from where I came from actually with my family I was at OBX in North Carolina out of it. Yep. So I flew in from there and And mine didn't make it for some You really got a roll on it Virginia Tech towards Now your name Recruiting you know come into events like this It's huge recruiting is What what makes you it's a difference between being good and great Whether you're a division one division two or division three Virginia Tech 2008 Facility It's kind of a crazy thing, you know, but how long what's the plan for you? What do you sign a seven year contract? Yeah, so I guess we better start winning in seven years What's the vision for you? What's what does it have to be top ten for Kevin Drosser? I'd like it to be March, but I know I Think you know The Iowa State Faithful is watching right now. They're probably not gonna like that answer But I think you have to be realistic to see what you've got to do, you know, the game's gonna change here a lot now too The NCAA is changing rules You know kids are gonna be able to transfer around a lot more than they used to I mean in October Things are changing and kids are gonna be able to transfer universities At their own will there's gonna be no more releases. No more asking the coach you can just go So it's gonna really be interesting to see how college line-ups change. I mean it really is You guys had some of that this year store with the Michigan It's some other guys left, you know who are under Your brand the rest is a lot different than his how you do things your systematic approach But you know when you got guys What's that like for you and how do you You know you got to recruit your kind of guys and they got to want to be there So if you when you inherit guys There's a There's a courting process both ways They're courting us and we're courting them a little bit to see how we're gonna like them And they're gonna like us so it's not just the one-way street The new coach comes in it's gonna be my way or the highway kids can take the highway now They give you a lot So it's gonna be interesting to see how that met all of ours, you know ultimately we You know we want we want guys that want to be at Iowa State Through good times and bad times and the evolution of a five-year career. There's gonna be bad times It's not gonna always be a Butterflies in days as they say it's gonna be there's gonna be ups and downs At the end of the day, I just think you know I'm big about the word trust It's got to be a lot of trust between the athlete the coach and the coach in the athlete I call you a game changer, you know You got a real simple system You want a couple things done and you want them done that way, but the game changer thing for me is I Think 2.1 million dollars over seven years. This is the first besides coach Kale You're the first guy that we stopped in and you know in college wrestling They paid a multi-year deal or two million dollars And you may look at it. It's not really that much when you think about it, but for college wrestling, that's you Yeah, you know from day one the thing besides you know being an Iowa guy and getting back home The thing that sold me probably most on Iowa State was just the vision and the passage to get a good place in Iowa State And you know not that it was in a terrible place But it wasn't where it historically was and so Knowin that you know you're the guy that's probably gonna change how a lot of these coaches you're here at this convention With they're gonna be paid that's huge. You know, they got contracts coming up guys got contracts coming up What's that say about what you did at Virginia Tech and in your systematic approach to you know You guys you guys on your way out get a trophy, right? I mean on your way out. That's that's your stuff That's your responsible for that, but what's that say about you know What's that say about how we're gonna do this and what you did at Virginia Tech and and how coaches will be paid in the future Well, things change a lot in college sports, you know, you know coaching Sometimes you're up sometimes you're down you can go back and look at you know Maybe the coaches that were the hot names and getting it done five six years ago might not be the hot names anymore So, you know, it's kind of cool that you can come in and you get you get a certain amount of time to build it but There is a certain amount of time involved in it. If you don't get it done in a certain amount of time You know, we've seen evidence in the last couple years that Guys get eliminated. That's the way it should be, you know We're we're in 45th place in four or five years. They need to eliminate. That's just the way it is That's just you know, we need to be like football We need to be like basketball if you're 45th the nation in basketball for six or seven years You're gonna be gone and I like that that the wrestling's become that important AD I think the car is ready made. I think it's ready to go Where the honey hand of that situation is dad is three seven C champ for you There's a lot of history there one of the other brothers Russell's for you guys at Iowa State But how do you handle that situation D a rustling D a red shirt and you can have it now You can have it all American this year. I think I think he's ready Well, how do you handle that situation with David car? Well, first off, he's very special, you know he's He's obviously very talented Really important to him and I think that's the two of you gotta have to make a big run at a national title So he's definitely talented enough. I think there's no question. We're gonna redshirt him and first you never say never though You know, we'll wait and see are you know our plan is to get him in the Southern scuffle We're going is where you've got some spots of the Southern scuffle Plus we're taking our team there this year. So we'll get in there and see how things go But you know right now our plan is to redshirt David car and You know with injuries with guys in their weight classes. It's just gosh, it's too hard to see but too hard to speculate Could you do like a mark all thing kind of what you're alluding to you know with with the scuffle what you with mark all Yeah, I'm not quite sure how that all came about Remember the details we were in the hunt obviously That way you pay more attention to it when you're in that situation No, we got a pretty good guy that we're excited about a young are not so young anymore He's gonna be a fourth year guy. They did a good job for us this year chase draw at 157 So do we know is 157 gonna be David's waiters 165? We don't know but we've got some other guys there that Definitely get help I was taking you guys wrestling behind you I want to let you get back to watching you got anything else for me, sir You know that goes up. I love talking to you man. I feel dumber, but I get smarter
