Questions to ask this coach (8)
  1. How many wrestlers—including recruits—do you expect at my projected weight next season?
  2. The published roster suggests 133, 149, 184, 285. How should I interpret that after redshirts, transfers and weight changes?
  3. How are varsity, reserve and open-tournament opportunities determined, and how many matches do non-starters typically receive?
  4. Does the program use roster limits or cuts, and what team-related expenses are not covered?
  5. How do wrestlers in business or other lab-intensive majors handle practice and travel?
  6. What is the normal weekly in-season time commitment, including morning lifts and weekend travel?
  7. How does the program support injured athletes academically, medically and in returning to competition?
  8. What is the timeline for an admissions pre-read and financial-aid discussion?
