New York City RTC with Cross and Kalika

[NYWRESTLER94 221]

Has Hofstra tried to strike deals with Vougar Oroudjov to have him run an RTC from their facilities? He already coach(ed/es) at Nassau Community College, which is a 10 minute walk from Hofstra U.

no

I don't think the coach wants his guys practicing with other teams but that's just me

 

Happens all the time. Kemmerer practiced with Nolf over the winter break, and they wrestle for very bitter rivals.

I personally know several college and senior athletes who have trained outside their "home" RTC. FLWC/Cornell is just one example. Some kids from Harvard (direct rivalry, same conference) trained there a few summers ago--I forget their names. Some go as far as traveling to Russia (e.g. PIco, most recently), and Russia welcomes our athletes to practice with them.

 

Anyway, what Columbia will or will not allow is not privy to us yet, but I would be surprised if their coaches take the position that nobody outside of Columbia can practice at their RTC.

Truth be told, wrestling is not big st all in NYC. That said, given the population density of the area, it could become big. There is definitely interest, since NYC is one of the hotbeds for jiujitsu and MMA gyms in the country.

I don't see what jiu jitsu/mma gyms have anything to do with the rtc. I think the point is that NYC will be an enticing location for resident athletes. Housing will be an issue though given the small stipends. Hope they have that figured out.

Just my experience that kids into grappling also have some interest in wrestling.

 

Agreed fully on the housing point, which is why I thought Jaroslav was being funny when he referred to the entirety of the NYC metro area (three or four states) as a regoin this little RTC will serve. Parking in NYC costs more than housing in the other RTC cities.

The Pennsylvania RTC is a joint venture between Penn and Drexel. Similarly, the New Jersey RTC is planned to serve both Rutgers and Princeton.

I think they've only been more friendly with that because Valentin has been going so many times with Pico.

Not on CU's campus, true. But its own FB page calls itself an RTC: https://m.facebook.com/FLWC-Finger-Lakes-Wrestling-Club-RTC-322949937430/?sk=pe. Doesn't mean it is, just saying.
