Lugo is a Hawkeye!

He has the release. Good to go!
From FLO Article: " It was a long process for the newest Hawkeye middleweight, but he has been granted a release from Edinboro and will wrestle for the Iowa Hawkeyes."
From IAWrestle Article: " In speaking with Lugo, IAwrestle was informed that he was not granted a release from Edinboro, but he intends to continue to pursue a release."
Unless we land Sasso we should redshirt him. The line up in two years -
125 - Lee
133 - Meija
141 - Turk/Murin/Happel
149- Lugo
157 - Kemmerer
165- Marinelli
174- Young
184- Wilcke
197- Warner
HWT - Stoll
There is some real talent there. That is the makings of 10 All Americans and a team title.

"He has the release. Good to go!"
Hope so-- but just because you read it doesn't mean it to be true
Maybe he does have it, but until I hear it from Lugo or Iowa coaches--I will not be sure.

Randy knows more than I, but from what I have HEARD, a release is imminent.
Either way, as I said in the past "Locked in and redshirt".
We shall see...
<<Randy knows more than I, but from what I have HEARD, a release is imminent. >>
Ha! I actually dont--I just saw that two sites reported conflicting info.. So one is wrong .

Release or not, Lugo will pick up where Sorensen leaves off.
<<“The coaching staff is a big thing,” Lugo said last month. “With them adding Mark Perry, he’s a big reason why I’m leaning toward Iowa. >> Lugo quote from Andy Hamilton story.
This is why a strong,top notch club is important. We are seeing immediate dividends!

From the horses mouth he was not given a release.
What is with these schools not granting a release in wrestling? They come across as punks.
And since it's the 4th of July... just rest assured that there is another *young* absolute hammering hammer (waiting in the wings) that's excited about the Perry hire. Divendends to say the least. The future is bright, ladies and gents.
Same as other sports. Not specific to Lugo but I can see both sides.
I can see both sides too. Very few circumstances where I could agree with not granting a release.
Coaches can leave anytime the hell they want so why can't their be more flexibility for athletes who want to transfer?
As promised, I will pay $100 to HWC by the end of the year. Welcome Pat! Glad to have another Florida guy around! GREAT NEWS!
I think the ncaa is actually considering the rule change to grant automatic releases per Sportscenter this past Sunday morning.
KJ Pilcher reported the same thing we did, no full release
For those who can't see schools denying an athlete a release, I suspect you had no problem with Teasdale backing out on his verbal commitment even after Iowa lost Renteria and Meija because of that commitment. Am I correct to assume Teasdale got a pass from you guys?
Yes...he actually did. Very little commotion on here at Teasdale. But hey, nice try.
Or, if you want a more relevant example, look no further than NCAA Champion Steve Mocco transferring to Okie State.

People may not like it, but nothing against it. And definitely not apples to apples comparison.
Not to mention the false equivalency.
1. We are not an NCAA institution
2. Teasdale didn't need a release
3. People being upset is not the same as not granting a release.
The situations are not even close to the same, or really even comparable. Edinboro is allowed to be pissed, but should grant the release anyway. Don't troll harder, troll smarter, idiot.
We didn't want him to decommit but if he didn't want to be here, then why do we want to force him to be here? I'm happy to have a great wrestler from FL here.
I don't get why they won't give him a full release but oh well
I think the release should be outlawed, and the indentured servitude of the athletes needs to go away. The system in place is a disgrace.
That said, here would be the reason that a school wouldn't grant a release. How much time and money did Edinburo spend on Lugo. Probably a pretty good out of state scholarship, and he was obviously getting significant individual level coaching/attention from the staff.
Schools treat these athletes similar to professional athletes who are under a contract (like an asset).

I think it's a fair comparison. Just as Iowa lost two very good recruits with a kid making a verbal commitment to them, Edinboro could have very well passed on or was turned down by recruits because they had Lugo in the fold.
Lol. Go away dude. You're comparing apples to tire irons.
Not too confusing, when you look at the two media outlets. One names a source, the other, well . . .
Anyway, congrats on the pick-up. Just one more "Pat" to go.
