I assume it has to do with the recruiting cycle, i.e., some years you don't recruit well due to needs or lack thereof.
I'm a passive wrestling follower so I was just curious.
I wondered the same thing, but I'm not too worried about it. It's all about what you do with the talent once it's on campus. I have no doubt in my mind that Cael will lead us to the promised land.
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?
I don't know the first thing about wrestling or much about the team. But don't we have most of our guys returning next season? Could it be a case of not having much of a class to recruit?
Seems to me we were dominated with youth on the squad.
Our team was very young....lots of RS Freshman and Sophomores, meaning new recuits would have to wait 2-3 years before cracking the line-up unless they are awesome.
In CAEL We Trust!!
Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
It has a lot to do with needs and available scholarships. As has been stated, the team is very young with little scholarship money to hand out this year. It's not like football with multiple scholarships available every year. Nothing to worry about. Cael will be able to sign any recruit he wants more times than not. Some years other programs will take more and be rated higher, other years not.
Haven't the past few classes been in the top 2 or 3? I know that at least one was ranked #1 by a few people. It's going to be fun to watch the young guys continue to develop and start dominating.
