Re: Anatomy of Recruiting

Actually, it was pretty uncomplicated. He's from Utah. BTW, Christian Carroll will sign with and transfer to Iowa State. Yes, but what does it gain him academically? I know he intends to go to medical school, so I guess, he will do 9 credits each semester and likely not earn a degree and just focus...

Re: SCHEDULE

I always thought Snyder would be a great head coach for Lehigh but seems like he's found a home in Lincoln. My son's ex-wife too. It really is a nice college community with more than just University of Nebraska for employment. Bob Fehrs eventually made his way back from Nebraska to Grantville, PA a...

Re: SCHEDULE

Take Columbia off your list as they are the cause of Ivies bailing out of the EIWA!!! Quite frankly, that decision got support from our very own Chris Ayres when he was at Princeton . In my mind he betrayed his alma mater. I would not go out of my way to schedule Stanford unless they want to wrestl...

Re: U23 Nationals

>>>>>>Reply to HFO’s statement: “top tier NJ and PA wrestlers are just not developing enough to be elite competitive in the NCAA” And yet Crookham, Stanich, Beard and Taylor were all clearly competitive at the elite NCAA level this past year. Everyone knows Lehigh has weights that need improvement,...

Re: Anatomy of Recruiting

Do not know what fed into Barraclough decision, but was Lehigh even in the game for him? Lehigh with a MS degree in the field of his choice has to be a superior choice over Utah Valley State. A complete analysis needs to be done of the value added of graduate transfers and NCAA performance now that ...

Re: Anatomy of Recruiting

I am sure Zach jumping on Carroll with huge longshot. I want to take issue with HFO on Alice Gast. She was likely the worst ever President. She had virtually zero interpersonal skills & was managed by handlers. She shunned the outreach from St. Luke’s for Lehigh to create a Med School. No visio...

Well, if Lehigh has changed it's name to Uncommitted University, it has a fighting chance to be relevant over the next 5 years.

Re: Anatomy of Recruiting

Elkhart, IN Christian Carroll leaving Oklahoma State. His window for transfer stays open because of head coach change. He redshirted last year. Has 4 years left. He will be an elite 197. Was nation's #1 recruit 2 years ago. Will end up back in-state in IN at either IU or Purdue or some other Big 10 ...

Re: Anatomy of Recruiting

Agree with Spladle -- if that is the reason, it's pathetic and bush league. Again, feeds into my theme that Lehigh has become mediocre across the board. Whether sparse research output, low rankings of professors for citations, inability to attract the best of the best PhD grads into our Colleges as...

Re: Anatomy of Recruiting

That is just Lehigh and Northampton County, if you do a 3-0 mile radius around Bethlehem, it is close to 3 million people! If MSA for Allentown/Greater Lehigh Valley was changed to Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe, Carbon, Schuylkill and Berks County, it would be 1.7 million putting it on par with Jacks...
