What they are saying: "These kids work super hard. They are experienced. My two Russians are state placers. They're very tough kids and naturally I think they're stronger suit is freestyle and Greco, but we've been doing a good job as a coaching staff adjusting and getting them to adjust and learn the techniques of folk style and the ins and outs of our American style of wrestling."
On the Ingraham kids: "If Lajuan's on, he's hard to beat. He's a two-time Florida national team member now. He wrestled some tough kids. He's beat a lot of state placers from out of state and I'm excited to see about him as well. His younger brother, Ezekiel, is here now too. These are my sister's kids that I've been having them on the mat since they were little kids so they know wrestling."
On depth: "We have some young kids and some other returners that maybe aren't as prominent as the three kids that are state qualifiers already. They're not as talented and as experienced as these kids, but there's some young kids that are hungry and working hard and I'm super excited for them."
Outlook: Russian brothers Adlan and Imran Dzhabrailov both return after finishing last season on the podium and look to move up it this year.

He has been working hard this whole summer. We’ve sent him to tournaments and camps and he’s ready to bounce back off last year‘s tough defeat against Rocco from Columbus.”
