Completely interesting side note is that Tyler Graff is the head coach at Triad -- a tiny DIII school in the school district that neighbors Mechanicsburg.
Triad's AD said that Graff called him and asked if the position he saw posted was still available. AD said yes, having no idea who Tyler was, got his name. Got home, googled him, and called him immediately and offered him the job. This past year was his first year coaching there.

As much as I'd like to see Snyder wrestle Gadson again, I just don't see Gadson making it to the finals in the weight class. A Stieber/Retherford match would be interesting too!

4 Realz?!
Why do you suppose Graff had his eye on this? Some Graham/Wisconsin backward pipeline action?

He was in OH working with Miron. Not sure if he still is or what happened.
I do know the Triad AD almost owed himself when he realized the quality of wrestler who wanted to coach there.
