IMO top 10 and power don't necessarily go together. Top 5, yes. Has to be a progression. Consistant top 10, and move up.
KJ and Staff were always great to me and I was always offered the opportunity to go to practice when I traveled to the duals with OSU & OU. I also got cards over the years when I had surgery and when my mom passed away. I should also say that I have got that with previous Staffs as well. I'm not a big donor in anyway, just a guy who is loyal to ISU wrestling and loved to travel to watch them.
I would hope that there could be 3-4 great hires to choose from. Each is going to give their vision for the Program, and Pollard gets the big bucks to make the choice using every possible input from those in the wrestling circles including ISU and outside.
