Perry awarded one point, not sure what for. Both coaches on the mat. Kyven is talking smack.
Poked him in the eye
(P.S.) see what I did there?
(P.P.S.) That's actually what happened

My overall thoughts about today:
[video=youtube;QWfbGGZE07M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWfbGGZE07M[/video]
Not perfect, but we came in with four guys going to Des Moines and left with six, with a very good shot at that ending up being 7 and a small shot at 8. We won every match we were supposed to win and got a few upsets along the way. Overall a pretty good day for Cyclone Wrestling. A huge, huge, huge improvement from November.
For sure NCAA qualifiers:
141: Luke Goettl
149: Max Mayfield
165: Mike Moreno
174: Tanner Weatherman
184: Boaz Beard
197: Kyven Gadson
Almost for sure At Large Bid:
HWT: Matt Gibson
Possible At Large Bid:
125: Ryak Finch
Realistic But Very Small Chance At An At Large Bid:
133: John Meeks
This is true, no doubt about it.
I hate to throw water on a warm fire, but have they shown enough to allow KJ to stay another year? My personal opinion is that it is still time for a change. They have improved over the last 1/3 of the season, but where we are as a program is still lacking. Thoughts?
Someone want to fill me on the Gadson Blake chit chat, the internet feed was sketchy and jumping around

From afar, my opinion would be to let him stay one more year. Parallel results won't be satisfactory though. From where I sit the improvement isn't limited to just qualifiers but the amount of guys who seem to be competitive more often than in the past couple years. I would say we need to improve next year and in the year after that we need to be competitive on a national scale. Again, that's from just results, not really knowing a lot about wrestling.
Barring a total meltdown and NCAAs I think he has earned a two year extension. I honestly don't think the Pollard could bring anyone in that would be a substantial improvement. Jackson isn't a perfect coach but he's addressed his biggest shortcomings this year and I think he deserves to see his first real recruiting class graduate. I don't think people realize the state the program was in two years ago.
