Think Iowa is back in play? Guessing we have some spare $$ and he'd be a welcome addition at lower weight...

I wish the best to him....at Illinois
Illinois would have to grant him a release.Isn't there a rule where coaches leave/prospects get a pass if they want one...

Shoulda said, "unwritten" rule....where if coaches leave most schools grant a release...There is definitely not.
If P$U were interested in mejia, money wouldn't be an issue as all of their recruits come from independently wealthy families who pay $200k for a shot at an ncaa title.That unwriiten rule about releases with coaching changes usually applies to head coaching changes as assistants are shuffled all the time. Without a release not only would he have to give up his 1st year of eligibility to compete, he would also be ineligible for athletic aid for a year.
Possible but I don't see it happening. If you think he didn't come to the Hawks because of money and/or being recruited over then that $25k bill for his 1st year and having the same coaches/philosophy in place that recruited over him in the 1st place may present a problem.

When his dad was on this board I got the impression $ was a big factor. Not sure if in state tuition would be enough. Just speculating though.Wouldn't be a bad idea to gray shirt like Stickley did and establish residency so the bills would be lower. I don't know why more out of state kids don't do that and wrestle at their respective club.

Bridge on fire?Hearing Mejia is highly unlikely...
sorry gobs to me that means he's a lock.
Here's to a successful fish fry! Maybe the HWC could raffle tickets and raise another $100k for a place around the fire.Indeed...; ). Seriously though, unless he's willing to come for nothing for a couple years I doubt it's in the cards. Keep in mind he still has to qualify for D1... The staff is trying to fry some bigger fish.
Anything is possible though, obviously.

I'd rather have about 5 uncommitted guys and 1 committed guy in the junior class anyway. Our staff might just feel the same.Hearing Mejia is highly unlikely...
So IMAR has already moved to IC?
There are still living expenses/housing for that year that make it not as easy as it sounds.Wouldn't be a bad idea to gray shirt like Stickley did and establish residency so the bills would be lower. I don't know why more out of state kids don't do that and wrestle at their respective club.

Lots of room for a tent down by the river...bunch of our Hawk guys can show him how to hunt squirrels, catch fish.
To be honest not 100% sure either, however, my thought would be he just gets a "well" paying job which covers his expenses. I don't think he could receive compensation from a club but then who knows it might be happening at other clubs. Sure the NCAA rules and regs address it, just to lazy to go and search.There are still living expenses/housing for that year that make it not as easy as it sounds.
I don't know the NCAA rules but I wonder if a kid could have any living expenses/housing covered by clubs while gray shirting.
And cutting to 133!So IMAR has already moved to IC?
And cutting to 133!
Meh... I'd stay away Mejia and focus on upper weights
I don't think we've got anything to worry about at 125. I'm also pretty high on Murin, and think some here will be very pleasantly surprised with the production we get out of Murin. I think Murin will be the guy at 141. Sasso could potentially sure up 149 for us. Leaving 133 the only real questionable weight looking ahead into the future (assuming we land Sasso).We have 3 more years with Wilcke, 5 more with Warner, and Stoll/Costello (and hopefully Schultz soon). I like our upper weights for the first time in a while. I'm worried about 125-149 for the first time in a while.

Tent? I thought it was a van…Lots of room for a tent down by the river...bunch of our Hawk guys can show him how to hunt squirrels, catch fish.
There's 5-6 guys that will be fighting for 25&33 in the next 1-2 years. That's without Teske in the mix
Hopefully soon on the fish. I'm starving for recruiting news. 2018 class is looking very thin at the moment.Indeed...; ).

It's one thing to "fight" but another thing to be a high AA level D-1 wrestler. Outside of Lee, there's not a lot there at the moment.
We already know Spencer will be a top 4 guy. The others are unproven, so there's a little room for skepticism atm. In Brands we trust
Its just that I see much, much larger gaps/holes in the uppers weights
