STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Cael Sanderson settled into a chair at the head of a conference table, cameras recording his every word. Penn State's new wrestling coach fidgeted with his fingers under the table, out of sight from the cameras.
A star in wrestling circles, Sanderson is eager to launch a new era for Penn State wrestling.
''I'm anxious just to see where we're at just as much as anyone else is,'' Sanderson said at the team's media day Tuesday.
The season begins in less than three weeks, but Sanderson's tenure is off to a good start. Recruiting services have ranked Penn State's freshman class as one of the best in the nation, including the addition of top prospect David Taylor.
It's the impact that many wrestling aficionados thought Sanderson could have when the 30-year-old coach made his surprise jump last spring from Iowa State to Penn State. Sanderson led the Cyclones to top-five finishes at nationals in each of his three years as coach at his alma mater.
