Although I get your point, you could've listed DT, Varner, and Andrew Long for Cael. His brother Cyler would be a stretch.

Facts:

Ruth was recruited by the previous head coach. Has said in interviews he didn't know who Cael was.

Molinaro was already on the roster, wrestling in 2008 before Cael arrived in 2009.

Alton Twins senior year in HS was 2010. They are from nearby Mill Hall, PA, went to Central Mountain HS, and Cael recruited them to Penn State.

None of these three you mentioned followed Cael from ISU to PSU.
How about some love for Quentin Wright, he was also at Penn State when Cael arrived, and he wasn't too bad, either.

Right, and don't you know...

Quentin decided not to transfer to Lehigh when Cael had him RS after his true freshman AA year. That demonstrates Quentin was influenced to follow Cael's instructions, because of Cael's gravitas (albeit unprovenness as a head coach). 🙄

Couldn't be Quentin grew up 25 minutes from Rec Hall and would listen to whomever was his head coach.

<<If Beth G is truly looking for a new coach, for my money it’s Schwab>>

I don't think so,I doubt he can raise $$. I know Rev share is a big thing and that helps, but can he raise $$ for HWC .

Remember when Mark Perry was at Iowa? He said that typically the team with the best club wins nationals. That's certainly the case for PSU. Mark went back to when Ok State was winning titles..they had best club etc. I don't know how true that is, but we HAVE to rebuild our club.
We have Spencer,Desanity, and Buchanan..who looks pretty good.. besides that no one else is going to make a splash.

mark went to asu, not osu

It's true and have posted that here before. When Gable was winning he has the best club. When Oklahoma St was winning they had the best club Gator WC . Now Penn St is winning and they've the NLWC. The college team with the best club wins it's been proven for 50 years

He was my favorite. Watched him at tournaments coming up as well. And on top of how good of a wrestler he was you won't meet many people better than Q
