Kyle Ruschell and Trevor Brandvold

[Razor Ramon]

I guess I will be nice and share what I know. RT and McDonough were both in town yesterday meeting with Bono. Early indication is that McD is the front runner. Either way the changes and additions to the program are exciting to see.

Sorry, stupid question, who is RT?  I know the Ryan Taylor RT but is there a Iowa RT?

RT is Ryan Taylor. There is no Iowa RT.

LOVED RT as a Badger.  He had the most tenacity of any wrestler I've seen since I've followed the Badgers!  Could Reopen the St Paris pipeline.  Can he recruit?

McDonough has more pedigree, but I'd love to see Ryan Taylor coaching at Wisconsin. Can he still wrestle with kids? That has to be a factor for sure.

Ryan has no problem wrestling in the room.  He is considering competing again.  Ryan would be a great addition.....I am fairly confident that he will be involved with UW wrestling in some capacity.

RT would be huge help.  Has his RT Elite room rolling.

If we got 1 of them I would hope we could keep one of Ruschell/Brandvold. I wonder who else who has applied who would be better...

[mkm13]

Both would be appear to be good candidates.  Great to hear Taylor is feeling healthy again. 

Taylor could help keep a connection with St Paris Graham.  McDonough had great results in college and would likely be a bigger draw to top athletes in terms of a training partner.

So it wasn't a career ending injury?  That's great news if he can compete again.

Ruschell and Brandvold are out of the picture. Ruschell has applied for the SDSU and West Virginia jobs. I think he could also be a great addition to Escobedo's staff at IU.

New Head Coach means new assistants. Nothing against Brandvold and Ruschell as they are good coaches, but it was time for a change, within the entire program.

[Jimmy]

Let them go. If they are not happy or not what the new staff is looking for then it's better for both that they find the right fit somewhere else. IMO Matt McDonough will be a great addition to the staff.

Three coaches confirmed.  All were NCAA champions.  Combined four championships and two 2nds at NCAA's so far.  One more coach needed.
