Ironically, 138 was the last weight that Ryan Crookham wrestled in high school too. Due to PIAA restrictions in Ryan's junior year and Tyler forfeiting his season season to train with Taylor, I don't believe the 2 have ever wrestled each other in high school. I so wanted to see that and Cruz vs Lyse...

I believe Lehigh's MBA program requires 2 years of work experience now. I could be wrong. On a side note: I fondly remember Thad telling me a list of wrestlers who were begging to come to Lehigh but there was no way he could get them in. I know there was one future national champion and a multiple t...

Just a side note on Alirez and Northern Colorado U.

Northern Colorado offers 9 separate post graduate degrees in Sports and Exercise Science and an online Masters Degree in Sports Coaching.

That is the definition of a good fit. Lehigh was never going to be in this discussion.

I thought that was what I said.

Mostly trying to differentiate between stipends and NIL and how Lehigh is behind the 8 ball in both cases.

WRESTLING ROOM/PSU fans reportimg KASAK to wrestle 157LBS which to me seems a bit high. :roll: So, according to Flo's preseason rankings (and I think they try to be accurate and not speculative with weights) they have Kasak at 157, Mesenbrink at 165, Haines at 174, Barr at 184 and Starocci at 197. ...

My source on that is the man who started it all at PSU whose initials are contained in term NIL.( albeit 13 months old) From a former SID" every athlete on any roster,every team, does not have to be a starter, at Penn State gets $3000." The NCAA allowed colleges to pay athletes a stipend ...

FWIW, Barraclaugh wrestled the entire 22-23 season at 157. However last year, he went 165-174. Growth spurt?

It's my understanding he flipped his commitment to Penn, and I don't think he's much of a heavyweight prospect. I'm guessing that people have not noticed that our large stable of HWTS has dwindled to just Nathan Taylor. There were only 3 on the roster this year and Chakif and Moore are graduating. ...

I'm not sure "in shambles" is too strong at the moment. If I look at the Ivy League at the currently. Cornell is in a remarkable place right now. After that Princeton is in a state of transition, that hasn't really produced as of yet. Columbia is losing coaches and wrestlers to the portal ...

I'm not sure I understand you post.

Mark Hall who until about a week ago was a coach at Penn (not Penn State, where he wrestled). And yes, he moved over to the Oklahoma staff as I posted.

The Ivies, except for Cornell is in shambles.
