Heskett next ISU coach?
If Joe Heskett will become the next Iowa State wrestling coach, Ohio State Coach Tom Ryan isn't saying.
Heskett, a four-time all-American for the Cyclones and a member of Ryan's staff in Columbus, is being rumored as the next ISU coach after Cael Sanderson bolted to Penn State.
Ryan said Monday that those rumors were not true and "all speculation at this point."
He did say, however, that Heskett "has interviewed, he is interested and he's got a lot of pride in the place."
Ryan said Heskett, as of Monday, still was a member of the Buckeye coaching staff and, he hopes, will be for a long time.
"I'd hate to lose him," Ryan said.
