Discussion Topic: #AskCoachRyan returns!!!
Mark Niemann added to this discussion on October 14, 2014

I realize a number of you are not on Twitter. However, for those of us who are, we get another chance to #AskCoachRyan any number of questions.

On Tuesday, October 14th, 2014, beginning at 10am, Coach Ryan will spend time answering questions asked him that come in under 126 charaters and have the hashtag of #AskCoachRyan

Last year this occured and here is what it led to...

http://ohiowrestling.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4890

I think Coach Ryan's answers don't show up until page 2.

If you non-Twitter users have a question, feel free to type it here, and I'll see what I can do about tweeting it out.
Enjoy!

Hey Nieman! I may be a twit, but I don't tweet! So I will forward you my questions.

1) What does Tom feel OSU's chances are of winning the National Team Championship this year?
2) Does Tom think we will have at least 2 individual national champs on the OSU squad this year?
3) Having 3 freshman captains on a potential National Champ team is odd, please explain your viewpoint on this?
4) The OSU Dual squad is very solid, does Tom feel we can win the National Duals this year?
5) Does Tom see any guys on the mat that has surprised him and the coaches with their progress this year that we can look forward to enjoy watching as the season progresses?

Thanks Mark!

I suspect Niemann doesn't scare him, but he probably creeps him out a little ;-)

Ha!!! Too funny because that is exactly what he wrote in his journal!!! Entry #216: "Mark Niemann is a passionate fan, but he creeps me out a bit. As if the restraining order wasn't enough to show his level of creepiness, I found out he named his pet parakeets Tom and Ryan! Yikes!!!"

"12) What weight classes do you feel need to be shored up in the near future? Are you already recruiting wrestlers you feel can help at these weights?

"141 and 184 are critical for us. The future is bright. High character, highly tough, highly inspired people are a must. This sport is brutal." - TR"

Saw this one from last year. Looks like Coach Ryan found exactly what he was looking for in Ke-Shawn Hayes and Miles Martin.

Brandon: I saw that when I was reading through it and thought the exact same thing! Plus, they have a real talent in Rodriguez (Mass. Perry) coming in as well. Jake Ryan hits the team as well. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Extremely high quality depth is definitely one of the most overlooked attributes of the Buckeyes recent recruiting in the midst of the "top ten in the nation" guys. I would be very interested to see the scholarship distribution. There have to be at least 15 guys on the team/verbals who could have gotten a full scholarship to a D1 team if they had wanted. You know you have a special program when someone would rather pay to wrestle for you than wrestle somewhere else for free. Of course, not saying wrestling is the only factor in that decision though. Academics, proximity, campus culture, etc.
