I was at Blair for a state girls clinic Sunday and one of the coaches said something to me about him.

Miami doesn't even have a wrestling program.

>>>>>>>>> Another quality recruit that’s still a hs junior.

I think that makes 4 from PA plus one from Idaho and now Blair.

A 2X National prep finalist and 1x champ———— so the doom & gloom crew can’t even wail about not winning a title.

More commonly referred to as the optimistic but non complete homer crew.....

Assessing potential is what we do here. IMO, it's generally respectful. If we say, for example, Carter Bailey needs work from neutral, is that a secret? Is that 'doom & gloom' -- I think not.

So I disagree with FL Guy's characterization but let him have his say.

Don't berate or over hype recruits please. Find that small sliver of "limited controlled excitement but not outwardly public" that we have been lectured to live in. It's hard to find the exact location as it appears to change depending on medication levels for that specific day. But your post appears way to much on the over hypey side, so I'm going to ask you to dial it back about 20% and wait until he has 4-5 years under his belt at the D1 level to make an assessment. Thanks in advance.

I am happy, but not excessively so, that a Blair wrestler has chosen Lehigh. I wish him well in his future wrestling and academic endeavors.


Sorry for going overboard with such strong wording (ie., "happy"), but I couldn't think of a more neutral wording to use.

MH is flagging this post as being both overly optimistic and also too negative in waiting that long to assess. Do better or expect a dressing down from the newsletter gang.

Hoping someone at Blair can figure out why McGonagle was seeded 4th at Easterns.
