<pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2012 12:20:51 CST</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State head wrestling coach Kevin Jackson announced the hiring of former NCAA champion Troy Nickerson on Friday. Nickerson went 97-8 in his career at Cornell University, including an NCAA Championship in 2009 at 125 pounds.  

Troy Nickerson (Photo/Larry Slater)"(Nickerson) was a perfect fit for us," Jackson said. "His major role will be to solidify the lighter weights on our team. He is a very intelligent guy, having wrestled on an Ivy League team with a top-notch wrestling tradition. It became obvious in his interview that he was the right man for the job."

Nickerson, a four-time All-American at Cornell, was an NCAA finalist twice and won three EIWA wrestling titles during his collegiate career. The Chenango Forks, ]]></description>

<pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2012 00:32:44 CST</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[InterMat senior writer T.R. Foley answers reader questions about NCAA wrestling, international wrestling, recruiting, or anything loosely related to wrestling. You have until Thursday night every week to send questions to Foley's Twitter or email account.

Q: I respectfully disagree (with your last mailbag comments about St. Ed's). Being that every wrestler at St. Ed's lives within a 40-mile radius and always has.  The Eagles get it done by using local talent. How many Blair wrestlers that are currently on their team grew up living within 40 miles of Blair? My bet one or two. I do agree with a lot of what you said. Coaching brings great wrestlers to the schools mentioned.  But having the ability to house their wrestlers gives Blair an adv]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestler Demetrius Johnson was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA this week. Johnson, a two-time Southern Conference Champion, was the preseason favorite to win the 125-pound title in 2012 before reinjuring his right knee.

Demetrius Johnson (Photo/GoMocs.com)"I am pretty ecstatic about the news," stated Johnson, a native of Memphis, Tenn. "I thought I had a 50/50 chance at getting the extra year, and then I got antsy waiting to hear from the NCAA. I am so pumped right not that I want to start training today, but I am going to have to take it slow to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Johnson was expected to compete as a true freshman in 2007-08, but a bout with Mono forced him to re]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Troy Letters, 29, a 2001 Shaler High grad and former PIAA & NCAA Division I Champion, who was the assistant head coach at Clarion University during the 2011-12 season, was named today as the Interim Head Wrestling Coach for the Golden Eagles by Athletic Director Dave Katis.
 
Troy Letters (Photo/Clarion Sports Information)            Letters replaces Matt Dernlan, who was the Golden Eagles head coach in 2012 and accepted the head coaching position at Binghamton University today.
 
            "I am very happy to announce the hiring of Troy Letters as the Interim Wrestling Coach at Clarion," said Katis. "We were impressed this season with the job Troy did in preparing our team for the rigors of NCAA Division I wrestling both on and off t]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Related Link: The MMA Outsider Podcast Archives

It's been a long time coming, but the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix is finally about to reach a conclusion. It began more than a year ago and featured an impressive list of top-ten-level talent that probably helped pique the UFC's interest and pave the way for Zuffa's buyout of Strikeforce. Despite some bumps in the road, the tournament final this Saturday features an intriguing matchup, with old school contender Josh Barnett facing top heavyweight prospect Daniel Cormier. Richard and John break down that fight and the rest of the main card before interviewing newly-signed UFC bantamweight Chico "King" Camus. Camus, who trains out of the highly-vaunted Roufusport academy, talks about h]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2012 21:07:40 CST</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The wait is over. After several weeks of searching for a head wrestling coach, Binghamton has hired Clarion head coach Matt Dernlan. 

Dernlan, a longtime assistant coach, accepted the position this week and is already on campus. He takes over Pat Popolizio, who was hired as North Carolina State's head coach last month. 

Matt Dernlan and Troy Letters coaching at the 2012 NCAAs (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)"I'm thrilled to be the new head coach at Binghamton," said Dernaln who only nine months ago was hired by Clarion to turn around its struggling wrestling program. "You don't head into the job and think 'I'm about to jump.' Clarion has lots of great alumni and a history of distinguished wrestlers. I would never have co]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Geordan Speiller won a Junior National title last summer in Fargo (Photo/Dave Jedlicka, jedicheetah.com)

Geordan Speiller (Pine Castle Christian, Fla.), one of the nation's top seniors, won't be seen on a college campus for at least another year. Speiller will be taking a greyshirt season to focus on Greco-Roman. 

"My plans are to take a greyshirt year and compete on the international level," said Speiller, who finished this past season ranked No. 4 nationally at 170 pounds by InterMat. "Being that this is a Olympic year most of your veteran seniors won't be competing internationally after the Olympics. So I felt this would be a good year to transition into the senior level. I will be training between the OTC in Colorado Springs and t]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As the NWCA Coaching Leadership Academy reaches its fourth year of existence, a modified Academy curriculum is being offered to college coaches who are currently coaching at or wish to pursue coaching positions at faith-based schools.  This is in response to the surging number of new intercollegiate wrestling teams being established at faith-based schools. In the past fifteen months fourteen of the nineteen new teams established are at faith-based colleges.

This Academy Workshop represents a collaborated effort between the NWCA and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes - Wrestling Ministry (FCA).  Carl Perry, the new FCA National Director for wrestling, will oversee the delivery of the faith-based component of the curriculum.

<description><![CDATA[EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern head coach Drew Pariano announced the addition of 2010 NCAA Champion Jay Borschel to the Wildcats coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach. A collegiate standout at Iowa, Borschel racked up an overall record of 98-10 at 174 lbs, was a two-time All-American and Iowa's Male Athlete of the Year in 2010.
 
"As a former national champion and key member of three NCAA championship teams, Jay knows what it takes to be successful as a wrestler and I have no doubt that will translate into his coaching career," Pariano said. "We had a notable 2011-12 season but know that Jay can help us reach the next level.

Q: Is a Vision Quest remake still underway?  Is Taylor Lautner still targeted to play Louden Swain?  Can an argument be made that turning high school wrestlers into heartthrobs (in the eyes of high school girls) will grow participation in the sport faster than any other organized marketing campaign?
-- Jeremy H.

Foley: In December 2009 there was a rumor that Taylor Lautner had approved a script for a remake to Vision Quest. Since then it's been radio silence. Despite the unlikelihoo]]></description>
