What a week in college Wrestling. The other foot is yet to drop. Just wait for it.....We return to the Brute Adidas Studios for an in depth look at the happenings and the future of the coming weeks. Take a look at our recent episodes of TDRtv on www.takedownraido.com as we strive to do better each and every episode.

This week we look to the coming World Team May 30th and 31st in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Our scheduled guests this week include:

Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley joins us to discuss the hiring of Cael Sanderson, his expectations and the timeline associated with those in and around the program. This may be one of the greatest sports hiring coupe's in the history of sport.

Dan Wirnsberger- Head Coach of the Bison at Bucknell. We've been following this program since it was brought back and we look to continue that trend. Wirnsberger has great expectations for his returning squad and high hopes for his incoming recruits.

Joe "J-Lau" Lauzon- Lauzon, star of The Ultimate Fighter 5 television reality show talks to us six weeks after knee surgery, UFC lightweight prospect Joe "J-Lau" Lauzon (18-4, 5 KOs, 13 submissions) is rehabilitating his leg, and recovery is ahead of schedule. He can't fight until the grafting is fully healed, which probably won't be until the spring of 2010. The 24-year-old Lauzon is not about to rush his recovery, despite his competitive drive, and desire to be fighting again. www.joelauzon.com


Tom Ryan-Head Coach The Ohio State Buckeyes- Tom Ryan has sparked a remarkable turnaround in this Big 10 powerhouse. Named RevWrestling.com's Coach of the year for the 2nd consecutive year, Ryan has his squad set to challenge for the next several years. Ryan recently lost Tommy Rowlands as asst. on his staff. Rowland's job goes to Buckeye powerhouse J Jaggers.

Mo Lawal- You either liked him or you didn't and it did not matter in the least to this former Cowboy. He's been around the world and now makes his living in MMA with big wins over Travis Wiuff and Fabio Silva. Mo started wrestling at sixteen. His second year he was state runner-up, and his senior year he won. He then went Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma, competing for three years. His last year he transferred to Oklahoma State and earned third and an All-American honors. Mo went on to win University Nationals in freestyle, third at Nationals, and few National freestyle titles.

Kerry McCoy- Head Coach at Maryland- Every time a head coaching position opens up Kerry McCoy's name keeps popping up. Debbie Yow has got Kerry's back, he's got great facilities, great recruiting capabilities. McCoy's name should come up! Why, back to back ACC Championships, 10th place finish at the NCAA Championships and 3 All Americans.
