That was an inauspicious debut Well, I guarantee that wasn't our best roster. No Olquin, no Doyle. Devan Turner didn't wrestle well. He is either out of shape or dinged up and Hunter Willits got jobbed out of a win that would have tipped the team score in the first dual. Pendleton and Co. are going to turn this program around, but it isn't gonna be overnight. It's a slow build in wrestling. Even the best high schoolers don't come in and win all the time in college. It takes time. When Doyle is healthy, Olguin is in and Turner figures it out, we will be a competitive squad, but top 25 at 25 is probably the ceiling. The future will be great, but it will take a season or two to get there, and then top 10 finishes is really something we should be achieving, as we are the only D1 program in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and NorCal. Yep, keep in mind our coaches, a lot of this is new to them too. The travel, the prep for travel, learning what motivates kids you didn't recruit. It'll take some time.

I agree, we will have to be in for the long haul on this one.
