take em to the mat 29 Report post Posted February 11, 2020 Is Bellermine wrestling going D-1? Does Bellermine host any camps? Any of the state's top kids being recruited by them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gseaknee 1 Report post Posted February 12, 2020 yes starting next year they will be transitioning into D1 and wrestle in the ASUN conference. They do not host any camps and don’t believe they will this summer either and Coach Adams mostly recruits ohio wrestlers, but he does try to recruit some top Kentucky kids, especially if they’re a smart, hard working kid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestling opens doors. BUT if can’t walk through the door due to grades , you aren’t a viable athlete. JMO. Work hard in school. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully, He recruits all smart and hard working young men. Good luck to the Knights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrBaker 497 Report post Posted February 12, 2020 Seems crazy to me to jump straight into D1. Shouldn't they start smaller and build up? Wrestling isn't even listed as a sport on the ASUN webpage. Crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand, the whole school is moving to division 1, so that's why wrestling is. There will definitely be a learning curve, but awesome to have a D-1 program in Kentucky.

DrBaker 497 Report post Posted February 12, 2020 I read up on it a little. It's a 3-4 year period. I'm not seeing anything about wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Adams spoke at the clinic about it. Yes, theres a 4 year transition period and if I remember correctly, they cant compete in post season during transition.
