2 typical reasons: 1) Wrestler's team needed to fill that weight, and had better wrestlers or equal wrestlers at 184/197 2) Wrestler wanted to win a championship and didn't feel like cutting or had competition they felt they could not beat at 184/197 across their conference/division/state etc..........

I'm cheering for Rogers as much as anyone (take your pick on which Rogers)........but do a deep dive into this, really look at Caden's last three years at Malvern Prep, it's actually very telling...... https://www.pa-wrestling.com/hs/teams/malvernprep/athlete_stats.htm?id=140700 3rd year 43-13: all ...

The thing I take away from that video is they were wrestling 195 consi's 2 years ago or so........Caden looked sucked out trying to wrestle 184 last year......174 for Rylan seems like a reach at best for this year, but we'll see.........

>>>>>>>Thanks for the clarification of guys considered to be ‘squat’. Basically all wrestlers who have not finished rd/12 or better——- or in Hines case, finished rd/12 two years ago——are ‘squat’ Every NCAA qualifier who doesn’t’ make rd/12 is ‘squat’ per HFO and spladie By that measure, Crookham an...

>>>>>>>>Of course the ‘jury is still out’ on Rogers ——-same as every other recruit. But labeling him ‘squat’ ————is just silly when he was ranked in the top 15 as a hs recruit, has 3 years of remaining eligibility, and fills a needed weight. Squat seems fair to me till proven otherwise......if he i...

>>>>>>>Interesting definition of ‘squat’ Always room for improvement, but 3AAs plus Rogers via transfer is a far cry from ‘squat’. Is it though? The returning guys don't count in the point he was making, we got "squat" in the portal......so that leaves Rogers, he will only be more than &q...

seems like this coaching search has gone on way too long, Columbia website even still shows Tanelli as head coach.....I realize Columbia has other problems going on but has to be odd for returning wrestlers and recruiting......

I could make a case that the Ivies left the EIWA because they were tired of Lehigh taking recruits from them!!!

Nope, and huh?

Guess we’ll just disagree on that completely

>>>>>> Lastly, the reality of recruiting is there are fewer ‘hits’ than ‘misses’. A guy that gives his all, becomes a starter and an NCAA qualifier and earns two degrees isn’t a bust———some guys simply hit their max. If you are referencing Logan in this, I mean, wow that is pathetic fandom….actuall...
