Lurker 838 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Very smart move in my opinion. As he stated, having an fresh set of eyes, ideas, philosophies. Have to continue to do new and different things to continue to improve. 2 GockeS and MikePorcelli reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2td3nf 469 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Wow is right. Just speculation, but does this mean J'den is bumping up to 97? Either way, where ever J'den goes this still seems like a cool move and I'm sure Kyle will benefit greatly in the NLWC room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lurker 838 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 I don't see this having anything to do with Cox, or anyone in the US. And as far as Cassar and Snyder this is good for both. For Cassar because he picks up Snyder for a training partner, and for Snyder because Cassar has the athleticism and movement more like Sadulaev than anyone in Columbus. Not saying they are on the same level or anything, but Cassar gets closer in that area than anyone at OSU I believe. 5 GranbyTroll, denger, TBar1977 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treep2000 867 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 I wonder what this will do to the ORTC and the overall Buckeye program now. Will Kerkvliet stay? Moore? MyMar? Future recruits? We all know that in this sport, a single individual can make or break a program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All those guys go to Iowa now from what I hear :) I really think this is a good move for Snyder. It seems like he has stalled out a lil and needs this change. Right now, I take Jden if he goes 97 next year, which I wouldve never imagined picking a couple years ago. Edited October 10, 2019 by russelscout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many people on this board are assholes and I'm not trying to be that at all or sarcastic or snarky. But, i'm just wondering what Snyder's move to Penn State has to do with affecting what J'den does next year? I might be missing something which is probably the case. 1 Lurker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he looks at the last three years, a dip each year, and feels he needs to change it up in an Olympic year. Only he and maybe a couple others really know but that would be my guess. 1 russelscout reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRyan2012 329 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Wow going to roll with Sanderson, Cassar, Varner, Nickal and Taylor daily! New look for sure! Where does Nickal go? Where does Cassar go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de4856 345 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Well, I believe that this is a good move, he probably realizes that he is headed for a showdown with J’Den, so he needs to wrestle people that can create the situations that J’den will create. I also like the idea of getting some new training partners and getting some new perspectives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steamboat_charlie v2 805 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Can't blame him for making the move. I thought for a while he would consider this even before world's. Hope it works out for him. Big blow to Ohio RTC but they still have a lot of talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A running theme on the board is that Cox is the "Lion Slayer," due to his wins over McIntosh, Taylor, and Nickal. Moving to the NLWC makes Snyder a "Lion" now. I know it's a joke, but in no way would that influence J'den's decision. He will do whatever he wants regardless of outside influence. 3 herma48852, ConnorsDad and nhs67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrDream 49 Report post Posted October 10, 2019 Looks to be smart move for Snyder. Gets to roll with Taylor, Cassar, and Bo and will get to hear perspectives from Varner and Sanderson....seems like a match made in heaven. IMO I don't think this has anything to do with Cox and everything to do with improving partners and coaches...... 1 herma48852 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I would say not so much improvement as different...new ideas and as you said perspectives. Don't forget Cunningham too. Great strategist and programmer. 1 de4856 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
