Derlan getting some love from the Nations Number one recruit! I have to admit I was hoping Cael would let him go and hope he would come back to Liberty, but ....

Taylor said two other factors helped shape his decision — Penn State's unparalleled Lorenzo Wrestling Complex and Matt Dernlan, Sunderland's lead assistant who has been retained by Sanderson as Director of Wrestling Operations.

"Penn State's wrestling facilities are the most impressive. The wrestling facilities are awesome. I don't think that was the most important. Wrestling facilities don't make national champions. It takes a lot of hard work. It helps to have the alumni support and all of the other support behind Penn State wrestling. You don't read about it in the newspaper, but it helps," he said.

"Before I chose Iowa State, I was looking at Penn State mainly because of coach Dernlan. We had a pretty good relationship. I thought it was awesome when I heard coach Sanderson was keeping him on staff. Coach Sanderson is a great guy and he's surrounded himself with really good people."
