Sanderson Head ShotUNIVERSITY PARK — The new coach brought along his big and little brothers, one of his closest friends and heralded recruits who initially committed elsewhere.

Throw it all together, and Penn State’s cur rent wrestlers operate in a serene environment.

Instead of being quizzed about last year’s struggles, they field questions about coach Cael Sanderson, the four-time NCAA champion and Olympic gold medalist who replaced Troy Sunderland in April.

Along with Sanderson, came two of his brothers, associate head coach Cody and All- American 157-pounder Cyler, assistant coach Casey Cunningham, dynamic freshmen middleweights David Taylor and Jake Kemerer, who committed to Iowa State and Oklahoma, respectively, and new philosophies to training and competing. The changes make it easy to forget about last year’s struggles, which included a 17th-place NCAA showing and 8-12-2 dual meet record.
