I have no idea how any of this will play out but I want put some things in perspective. That was no slouch Caden was wrestling in that video. Rylan was ranked apporx the same as Michael Beard and Ryan Crookham coming out of high school and the latter 2 have made a lot of very good wrestlers look sic...

>>>>>>One yr on the DL and 2nd year trying to make 184 with limited success. I believe we’re still waiting for the 3rd yr to begin———-but let’s not let facts interfere with the narrative. Actually we are still only waiting for his second season to start. His first was spent in a rather large cast.

PA beats Maryland 31-7

Hayden Johnson was 7 of 11 for 142 yds and 2 TDs (1 Int)

Conor Poole with a 27 yd FG and I assume 4 extra points

Welcome aboard!!

Wrestling is a niche sport. One doesn't have to beat the bushes to figure out who the top 100 wrestlers are. The internet allows wrestlers to reach out to coaches and visa versa. Coaches can find academic information, tournament results, HS results, watch video to their hearts content. We are only l...

I mentioned in an earlier post that Lehigh enjoys a big reputation in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region, the hotbed of high school wrestling. Perhaps, a little less known, although I mentioned it earlier is that Lehigh is developing a really good reputation in California, which is also a big sta...

Not sure why all the panic as we are in our best position since the Letters/Zinc/Cooperman/Dillon era. Calm down everyone until we see how this all settles out as it applies to wrestling vs the big time sports. Exactly!!! Ironically, Letters and Cooperman were both top 15 guys, Dillon, Zinck, T. Fr...

I welcome the discussion. Recruitment is a two way street. The student-athlete needs to be a good fit for Lehigh but also Lehigh needs to be a good fit for them. In the past, it was difficult to get black students to even want to come here. There were only 12 on campus when I arrived. Talk to them a...

That seems pretty hyperbolic to me. Recruiting doesn't really seem to be a huge problem that can't be fixed with a little money. Look at the credentials of our roster. It doesn't vary much from our "glory years". Like I mentioned on another thread, we now have 3 individuals who were Top 15...

Perhaps, here is another angle.

Next season. Lehigh will have 3 guys who were Top 15 as a senior in HS.

I don't know when recruits began being ranked but how many wrestlers has Lehigh gotten that were ranked that high? It may be far less than you think.

Now that is just plain stupid.

When you get a chance, hop over to campus and ask Pat about the absolute studs that had Lehigh on their very short list. In the end , it's the girl who chooses what handsome guy they go to the dance with. It's not always about the looks.
