    To me, this has a Klieman replacing Bohl type feel. I think Obe can take this program to another level. I wonder if Cam gets a paid assistant gig here now.

    Can someone explain what the heck a college wrestling club is? Is it just the Freestyle/Greco arm of the wrestling program? I see that he used to coach the NC State club?

    Kind of. There’s a few high profile clubs specifically for post-graduates. They train wrestlers for national and international competition. I believe they’re 100% privately funded. Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, Hawkeye Wrestling Club, and Sunkist Kids are a few of the more high profile ones.

    100% agree. Equal to better coach with far better people skills.

    I always said the difference between Bohl and Klieman could be described by the weekly coaches show. Under Bohl it was the Craig Bohl show. Under Klieman it was the BiZon football show with Chris Klieman. IMO you’re right about it feeling the same way.

    NDSU has their own. https://www.bisonwrestlingclub.com/

    They have a youth club and it includes the NDSU wrestlers competing like ndsu_grad mentioned. Kish asked for donations to go to the BWC. Its also provides some money to go to the BWC coach, who is the NDSU volunteer coach (cam sykora). Mora wore the "interesting" BWC uniform at the open last week.

    NDSU is fortunate to keep Blanc after losing Kish. Often coaches take their staff with them.

    I heard some rumors, and I think it was on here too, that OU was forcing Kish to keep some of the current staff. That may have played a role in keeping Obe. I’m also hoping the athletic department stepped up and increased the HC’s salary so we’re at least paying our head coach more than the top assistant at most schools.
