LUEngineer: Can you confirm Lehigh is now offering Stipends as your post suggests? I think that's where the $3000 to every member of the Penn State team is alluding to, not $3000 in NIL money. That would make sense. If Pat has access to give out NCAA stipends up to $6500, that's a significant upgrade.

While what Fl Guy posted may be true, it is not a strategy that is sustainable. Beard and Rogers were rarities. Nothing takes the place of solid initial recruiting. FL Guy has posted that as well in the past. His point is don’t ignore that in favor of some artificial cycle with the LVWC. Couldn’t ag...

Fl Guy: agree with both of your points.

Explain why? Recent history.
All the AA grad students have signed with Power teams: NIL, NCAA $6000 Stipends, better quality work out partners, tougher conferences. Lehigh has exactly 1 AA transfer (not grad student) in Michael Beard because Cael recruited over him to get Dean.

Not likely. Why cut weight if no path to being a starter?

Weight cut? Didn't Barraclough wrestle Josh Humphries L6-3 on 12/4/22 at 157?

HFO's figures are way off. Not sure who you are talking to. AA grad transfers command upwards of $200K and a car. Not sure I believe Starocci is getting $1MM but if that's what mookie heard, why automatically say it's false? Let's say it is true. What does that tell us about PSU's program? A few thi...

Come on now JAD, Captain Obvious may think there's still *one* person out there who hasn't been enlightened!

"Prioritize spending to attract/retain elite wrestlers" --- as if the staff isn't doing this now.

BTW, FL Guy isn't wrong with his over-all point.

So now we’re not only thinking (unrealistically) about signing guys like Alirez simply because he hits the portal — we’re extending that to out of work assistant coaches? Yeah, that’s bizarre. Coleman Scott left a terrible recruiting class when he left Carolina. Only Koll Magic has turned lemons int...

Bizarre suggestion.
