Thanks for sharing. Young team

From Oregon and an OSU fan have had the honor of meeting Strobel a couple of times. The first time was in the box seat section for Lehigh @ the '11 NCAA's in Philly. My first NCAA actually. Thoughts and prayers to his daughters and extended family and friends on both coasts. Rest in peace sir, enter into the joy of The Lord. Both Lehigh and Oregon State have published releases on his passing: https://lehighsports.com/news/2020/10/9/wrestling-lehigh-athletics-mourns-the-passing-of-greg-strobel.aspx https://osubeavers.com/news/2020/10/9/wrestling-oregon-state-national-champion-greg-strobel-passes-away.aspx

FB back on, starting Nov 6-7, 7 game league schedule then a championship game on December 19th. Hoops, and assume other winter sports, to start on Nov 25. https://www.oregonlive.com/collegefootball/2020/09/pac-12-ceos-vote-to-jump-back-into-college-football-in-2020-with-a-seven-game-schedule-beginning-nov-6-7.html

I didn't see Branch, Kolat, Weldon or Guerrero either. It's the Iowa team & coaches pictured :-)

2 domino's have fallen, will there be more?

Cal Baptist is in the process of going D1. They will need a place to land.

Very sad to hear this. I always heard that all of their programs were fully endowed.

According to the Fresno Bee https://www.fresnobee.com/sports/college/mountain-west/fresno-state/article243549552.html

Good hires by coach Pendelton. Hope all of these guys can get into the room here shortly.

When the conference as a whole expanded from 10 to 12 by adding Utah and Colorado, it was sad neither university sponsored wrestling.

Some tid bits I will throw out. Heard Jolley @ 125 has left the team. No ideas what his plans are. Carlos at 174, I could totally see that happening. Also Hunter Willits wrestled one open tournament at 165, that is a possibility too. Then put Garcia at 157?

December - March shortened season?

Its also interesting to look at the ASU timeline. When Zeke and staff came on, it hasn't been the same at Oregon St. Couple that with other events: Troy leaving to head up Fresno State, then the debacle with Coach Roberts and the Admin, it's been tough for the Beavs to rebound. Hence the change in late March to go with Coach Pendelton. BTW, Pendelton is the name of a city in Oregon :-)

I believe Les Gutches did this feat his Jr or Sr season

Shhhh...be quiet on this one :-) Seriously, could use mid's and heavy's IMO. Two guys in this year's class: Vidlak and Kuenzi are lower weights. 165, 184, 285 are probably the biggest needs.
