New Boss at the LVWC
Re: New Boss at the LVWC
And Kerry will have plenty big boys to work with. I noticed we have 7 285s listed. Plus Zach and himself.

>>..... and Gerry Faust was a terrific high school football coach.
And your attention span goes by in a whiz. Try going back a few posts.
Buxton has recently served as Co-coach of USA World teams. How's your resume looking ?

Re: New Boss at the LVWC
LVWC is far from a powerhouse in world of Olympic styles wrestling. Half the guys mentioned wrestled for new clubs at US Nationals or Olympic Team Trials.
Writing has been on wall that Buxton wasn't really producing or attracting wrestlers to come to LVWC.

Haven’t been on here in months. I am surprised at the hostility toward Buxton.

This feels like the movie line: “I think we have a failure to communicate” i.e. the imparting or exchanging of information or news.
Pat Santoro .... Pat handpicked Bux to come to LVWC
Steve Mocco... Pat recruited Bear away from, yes, Iowa to be closer to family; spent 2 yrs w/us; greatly helped Zach Rey; left for Fla to aim for big $$ in MMA; didn't work, after several yrs went to RI to be w/his brother, Joe
Mark Perry, Iowa ...has zero ties to the East; none; raised in OK, etc
Kellan Russell ...7 yrs in Ann Arbor, Jul '21 to Cornell once he realized Bux would be stepping down
Ed Ruth, PSU ... left NLWC to try MMA in CA; maybe you can post a dig vs them
Do u know why Zack Esposito turned down our big offer from LVWC?? Huh? Because he's John Smith's son-in-law and John wasn't going to let two family members leave Stillwater in one fell swoop.

You've never been involved in recruiting them and have no clue how hard it is. Ask Cornell why their history of landing out of region guys is so hard. I'm not that sorry we didn't sign him but Iowa's multi-bearded Mike Zadick visited and said: "I own a 20-acre farm outside Iowa City; I could never live in this upscale city of yours." Bux stole Perrelli away from Cornell; kept him 4 yrs before they made him head Club coach. Jeff landed Missouri's Kevin Levallee, a CA/LV resident who is our 1st-ever signing with zero ties E of the Mississsippi. Because he helped coach him to a U.S. National Open 2nd place. We never signed McKenna but he spent eons of time training 3-4 yrs with us (for free);
Joey's win over Retherford in the Olympic Trials one of the top things ever on the Buxton resume. Even many "insiders" don't realize all he did for us and with us. I have an edge serving as their prime PR director and fund-raiser since 2000 (the last 6 in 'retirement' working for free. LVAC/LVWC remains 1 of the top regional clubs, among the few raising over $400k/yr (ranking 6th or 7th nationally).... 4-5 of the richest clubs hog much of the headlines. The middle of the country controls the sport except for PSU. The NYAC isn't what it used to be.
We are who we are - proud of our 21-yr history including hiring 2 Olympians; 5 World Team members and a shirtload of National Open Top 3's.

Re: New Boss at the LVWC
My bad .... Zack is married to John Smith's secretary, I'm pretty sure.
Same challenge recruiting two key people away from the Coach Smith
