I wouldn't count Renfro out... he made several visits here concerning the position, and there are some local sources of funds that may become a factor, the fact that he applied was quite a boost to the local fans here and with the committment to provide top notch facilities and support to the program, it was apparently at least a moderate enticement to mr. Renfro. Mr. Hackerott, the AD here, was absolutely blown away by the amount of out of state calls that have come to the college since the addition of the sport was announced, and the letter from Mr. Gable was very impressive to him-- as he related to me:Michael Jordan has never sent us a letter about our basketball program, and that is the relative importance to the sport that Dan Gable is to wrestling. (I would enclose that in quotatiions but it is a paraphrase of what he said.) At any rate, the lid is on the announcement until Monday, but I would not jump to any conclusions yet..... suffice it to say that either coach would be exciting, and each one brings a lot of credibility to our fledgling program. As a parent of a prospective college frosh next year, especially exciting for me...
