This week we'll be joined in studio by boxing promoter Paul Scieszinski and new Van Meter HS Head Wrestling Coach Dustin Wright. Recently the wrestling community got together and raised the funds and the awareness of the need to have wrestling at Van Meter HS, located west of Des Moines, Iowa.
This week on TDR -
CD Mock - Tarheel's Head Coach. North Carolina's eight-man wrestling recruiting class has been ranked No. 17 nationally in this year's InterMat Division I recruiting class rankings. Additionally, the Tar Heels were recognized as one of only five programs tyhat made a "notable move" in their recruiting efforts.
Dan Wirnsberger - we'll head to Lewisburg, PA to talk with the Bison Head Coach. Bucknell Wrestling announced incoming recruits for 2008-09. The Bison will welcome eight newcomers to the squad for the 2008-09 season. This class is comprised of student-athletes from five different states, including three from Pennsylvania, two from New Jersey and one each from New York, Ohio and Virginia.
"It is a talented group, but more importantly, these young men are scholar-athletes," said Wirnsberger. "They understand the importance of higher education and the commitment needed to reach their individual athletic goals. I look forward to the development process."
Kim Couture - Great competitor, mother, business woman and wife of legendary Randy "The Natural" Couture makes her return to TDR. We'll talk about relating to a man as driven as Randy. We'll discuss the new book, the expansion of the Xtreme Couture Training and Gym properties, and Kim's future as a pro fighter who's record sits at 1-1. What's next for Kim?
Eric Guerrero - Three-time NCAA champion and 2004 Olympian Eric Guerrero is in his fifth year on the Oklahoma State wrestling staff. Eric has been a key figure in four of the Cowboys' NCAA team championships and five of OSU's Big 12 team championships. Guerrero joined the staff as a strength and conditioning coach in 2000-01. His contributions helped prepare Oklahoma State for NCAA team championships in 2003 and 2004. Promoted into the position of assistant coach following the 2004 season, the Cowboys won their third and fourth consecutive NCAA team titles with Guerrero on board in 2005 and 2006. Guerrero coached 2007 NCAA Champion Coleman Scott, 2006 NCAA Champions Johny Hendricks and Jake Rosholt, 2005 NCAA Champions Zack Esposito, Hendricks, Chris Pendleton, Rosholt, Steve Mocco, Johnny Thompson and Rosholt, as well as 2004 NCAA Champion Pendleton.
Jared Shaw - EliteXC Vice President and match maker will join us to discuss coming events and what to expect from Kimbo. Jared Hamman needed less than one full round to avenge the only loss of his career - a disputed 15-second stoppage at the hands of Poai Suganuma four months ago. Hamman weathered Suganuma's quick start in the rematch and made his move midway through the first round, as he stopped the Hawaiian with a series of stout hammer fists in the featured bout on the ShoXC "Elite Challenger Series" Friday at the Table Mountain Casino in Friant, Calif.
Mark Branch - The West just got stronger! The new head coach of the Wyoming Cowboys is Mark Branch. Once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy - same nickname, different state. Mark Branch has packed up the truck, the horses, all the hats and boots, and his family to head to Wyoming. As a member of the OSU coaching staff, Branch was named the National Wrestling Coaches' Association (NWCA) Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004. He helped coach OSU to seven Big XII Championships, four NCAA Championships and three Dual Team Championships. He was named the Associate Head Coach at OSU in 2002. He individually coached 31 All-Americans and nine NCAA Champions.
In this show we'll also recap the weeks action from Beijing, count the medals and lost opportunities, and salute the ones who wrestled for you and me - Team USA!
