>>>>>>>>> Reply to MH: I want to attract the best, academically qualified, wrestlers to Lehigh. The way to achieve that now is to raise more funding and re-direct funds from LVWC post grad wrestlers to a guys like Crookham, Stanich, Beard etc. Years past there was resistance to implementing athletic...

>>>>>>NIL == Freedom. Freedom can be uncertain and even messy, but what it provides is Opportunity. We now have the opportunity to match any offer a targeted recruit receives. Crookham and Beard are the two elite recruits (ranked in the top 20) on the team———no surprise they are AAs. Rogers will be ...

>>>>>>> Several comments: Spencer won his PA AAA title at 172. Maybe 197 is in his future, but let’s see which weight he wrestles as a hs Sr. Projecting cu as a pre-season #3 is a big stretch with Vito and Cardenas leaving.

>>>>> Reply to spladle: I just stated facts———Lehigh brought in three guys in the last 2 years that became AAs whereas only one of cu’s AAs was a recent recruit. Not a knock on cu——just a recognition that Lehigh brought in some recruits that fill mookster’s juice glass. cu, along with every major te...

>>>>> Reply to answer: The 2025 recruiting process is far from complete ——-why draw a conclusion based on partial information? No one was jumping for joy over Lehigh’s last two recruiting classes——- but they produced three AAs so far——-while cu has brought in one AA. Reply to 0: a true statement can...

>>>>>> I welcome mookster back from his self imposed siesta. He can post whatever floats his boat. But it’s obvious that the overwhelming majority of his posts are negative and he suffers from some form of cu envy. I enjoy watching Lehigh wrestlers compete at the elite college level———and I definite...
