Nomad said he has a Cornell and Ohio St on his list as well. Would be a huge get!
#9 overall on 2020 big board. Flo projects him as a 57
The interest is mutual

This would be a very nice get. Vasquez mowed thru the field to win a CA state title at 132# as a soph.
F 1:09
F 2:47
F :24
16-6 qtrs
10-7 semi
10-0 finals
I believe he also won a state title as a fr at 113# wrestling for St John Bosco, the school Pico and Valencia bros attended.
He'll be going for his 3rd CA title this weekend.
Would be nice to open a pipeline for CA recruits.

Would be YUUUUUUGEEE! ... definitely think Iowa needs at least 1 more legit stud in ‘20, and he seems to fit that mold.
Think he ends up at 149...would be a nice get
Here is him vs Max

Max has 3 years on him (and the best training in the world) and had a good tournament. Reminds me of Max’s potential when he finishes before the ankle grabbers can get to his ankles. Finished relatively fast and decisively. He is so close right now. Hoping he gets right mentally and he could make noise at Bigs and NCAAs. He can seemingly get to everybody’s legs.
While watching I was like wow, Max has leg shots. The question is where did they go?
My only concern with him is that he is on his 3rd high school in 3 years. In fact he might be the only kid on the team at this high school.
You don't get to wrestle high schoolers in college.
His leg shots are still there. He was in on the Indiana kid’s legs about 7 or 8 times, but he only converted on one of them. All others, the kid got to one of his ankles and they ended up rolling around for a while. Most ended in stalemates. One or two ended in Max getting countered and getting taken down despite being in tremendous position at the very beginning. Once the ankle grabbing and rolling around starts, Max isnt converting well right now. Once he can keep the kids off his ankle, he will be a really, really tough out. In some matches, his leg attacks are less frequent - I am guessing because he has lost confidence in his ability to convert a great shot into a successful takedown.
But there not in the same class...I think Paddy Gallagher should get a very strong look in the 2021 class for 174.
If he’s on Cornell’s radar, I’m not concerned at all. Not that Iowa and OSU are slouches either but Ivy is Ivy.
^ This. On the FRL right after the Indiana dual, Flo was saying Murin has not been offensive or attacking recently. He was in on that kid's legs the entire first and second period, just never finished hit shots.
Saw that ... fr year at one school, soph at a different school, and now as jr at his 3rd. Not sure what the story is on that.
Didn't Dake wrestle at a different weight class every year?

Lol Yesh, but at the same school...
I'm talking in general not just the last match. His activity level and finishes were looking a lot better last summer. Other guys not being able to funk to their back to avoid TDs in FS probably a lot to do with it.
Yep finishes have a lot to do with FS exposure. The low single is a beautiful thing just learn to finish .
I forgot about him. Tore ligaments in his ankle in early 2017, missed the rest of the season and haven’t heard a word since. Anybody know if his wrestling career is over or if he landed somewhere?
Billy Murphy....great recollection, and yes from California. If memory serves, grades were an issue and he transferred to Iowa Central for a year. He was touted as the next great thing.....I believe he gave MMA a go, but had the same results as he did wrestling at Iowa
Danny Murphy is/was from Colorado, never saw a varsity match, but was a damn good wrestler
Luke Troy is/was never to be heard of again and I am not close enough to the staff to know why
What ever happened to Meija? I legitimately have no clue.....internet lore says grades were always an issue, but that is just gossip
An IVY League degree is a big deal. It all depends on the profession he chooses to pursue.
Dean, Dake, Nickerson just to name a couple. Cornell is a school to be reckoned with.
