WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - With no special guest on this week's Always Aggressive Podcast, Purdue wrestling head coach Tony Ersland takes a look at the Boilermakers' newest video feature and pulls back the curtain on the recruiting landscape amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with co-hosts Cory Palm and Tanner Lipsett, the group reviews the debut of the Boilermaker Rewind as we look back at Purdue's 21-13 win at No. 13 Northwestern, back on Jan. 10, 2020, and looks ahead at next week's reveal.
During the nation's current situation, the NCAA has restricted travel for coaches which prohibits any on- or off-campus recruiting. As the NLI signing period reopened Wednesday, Ersland took a closer look at the Boilermakers' situation and how they've been approaching the new recruiting landscape. They have seen even larger issues arise as student-athletes have entered the NCAA transfer portal and Old Dominion recently cut it's program, leaving several student-athletes looking for a new home.
