I can't help but be a bit bitter about the situation at Campbell. For years & I mean more like decades, the Campbell was a basement dweller. A school that might have one qualifier every five years or so. Then attitudes changed & minds were made up that this was going to be a successful wrestling program. Cary Kolat was named head coach & one of the biggest turn arounds ever in our sport took place over a few short years. Campbell went from being lucky to have SOCON place-winners, to being SOCON team champions. Multiple qualifiers every season & even All-Americans. Scotti Sentes came in to continue that trajectory. Now current administration has, through their doing, put Campbell right back to where it was in the dark ages. I don't get that.
I really thought that Anthony Ferrari might be the light of the Camel program this year. I don't know how all of the situations involving his brother A.J. are affecting him, if they're even affecting him at all. I do know that he has a lot of talent & if he can find his place, a lot of potential. I sure hope that is that case for him at Morgan State this year.
As to Campbell? I hate being pessimistic about anything or anyone in this sport. I really do, but this looks to be another rough year for the black & orange. I'd love to be proven wrong & really hope that I am.
