Final 16 in BB:

south #1 v 5
#2 v 3
west #1 v 4
# 2 v 3
east #1 v 5
#6 v 7
mdwst #1 v 4
#10 v 11

All of the #1 seeds are still in it. Half of the #2 and #3 picks are still in. Not a single #12,13,14,15 or 16 seed is left.

There is more to recruiting than rankings, but rankings, BB or wrestling, while not perfect, do offer some guidance and correlate with increased probability of success.

I was referring to something wrestling tangible. such as an all upper body guy ranked #1 in HS at some wt like 120. can we expect 4 time ncaa champ? R12 guy for 4 years? dufus that gets tossed to his own back every match?
basketball TEAM comparison (of teams that have played full seasons against other teams) is no help. Is recruiting wrestling guys like recruiting baseball guys? except for the no miss guys like Griffey Jr?

I thought if he didn't enroll at the college after a year, his NLI is no longer valid. Not sure the stipulation with his release. Could he enroll in a Big 10 school this year and not lose a year or is it a complete release with no stipulations

Your NLI is in effect for 4 years from the date of signing if you don't enroll. There are certain conditions that trigger the voiding of the NLI (not qualifying, being denied admission, being denied financial aid, etc.), but not enrolling in school and going to the OTC is not one of them. When you sign an NLI you owe the school one year of attendance. The penalty for not fulfilling this obligation is the loss of one year of eligibility at the school you enroll in - provided they participate in the NLI program. You may apply for a release from the NLI - which is what Northwestern granted Reenan. Reenan is not eligible to sign another NLI during this year - so basically his recruitment will be open until he actually enrolls at another school.

I would put $500 into the alum scholly fund. Why dont we start one!

Terrific idea and initiative!

To help avoid any petty jealousy between Iowa fans/posters, I will unselfishly volunteer to be the treasure of the fund! I only have two stipulations:

1) I will accept cash deposits
or
2) A wire to my offshore account in Panama

Always here to help

Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, (SMH). Should have stayed in Iowa, he'd still be a male....

 

[hawknut]

Perhaps you should, since you're a big Hawkeye Wrestling Fan/Supporter and all....................

If any media asks him who has called him and he says Iowa, I will donate $500 dollars to the aforementioned club. Just because I don't spout flowers and butterflies doesn't mean I don't know what I am talking about or doesn't mean I am not a big fan. Seems to me pretty much everything I said has been proven right.

In your mind I have little doubt this is true.

I'm a realist, always have been, and certainly not now nor ever going to be a "sunshine pumper", but that also doesn't mean I agree with you, most of the time I definitely do not.

Good for you. Thanks for letting me know. Since you are so proud of yourself, and so "real", how about you promise $500 dollars to the Hawkeye Wrestling Club if there is an article that in the media that interviews him and he mentions schools that call him and Iowa isn't mentioned?

Haha...Hawknut thinks he's smart because he chose the field over Iowa...doesn't realize that this just puts him on par with everyone else that roots against the Hawks. Always going to be those dudes in a fan base who think they have all the answers.

I spent a couple years in Panama. Cash can do all kinds of things down there. It was kinda like what Dodge City must have been like about 150 years ago.

I think Reenan had surgery. I'd pass on him,just like I would have done with Steve Congenie a few years ago. Steve went to Cornell but has not done much. Two surgeries in HS

Spencer Lee had surgery in High School too and you wouldn't pass on him would you? I am not saying you are wrong. But, I do think you are jumping the gun without getting more information about the type and severity of the surgery.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Shoulder surgery is very difficult to recover from. I had both shoulders done. Really takes a year or more to heal. I wouldn't give a full ride to Reenan. As a coach, I wouldn't give a full ride till I see the kid wrestle tough his entire senior year, if possible, at least till January. Half the highly ranked kids quit wrestling after a year or two in college

Well then his scholarship will open up. Not a huge loss.

----

Wasn't Lee's surgery for a torn labrum?

I'm always wary about how fully a guy recovers from that, given the stress on the shoulder, especially with d1 wrestling. It came back to bother Nickerson and I think Caldwell. McDonough seemed to bounce back and did well in FS following his surgery, beating Nashon Garrett for the University World Team in two straight matches, and subsequently won bronze at World University.

Lee seemed to rip through the field to win the 2016 PA state title, so hopefully he's fully recovered. I would not pass in him, btw.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I'd pass on Lee also

I wouldn't give too many full rides to kids with major surgery period!

Seem like someone is on their period.

 

[McCulloughd]

You'd have to be a coach and a doctor so that eliminates you.

Must be rough living in C. Springs. One of favorite small cities in the U.S.

Actually I live in metro Denver but drive to the Springs for work every day. And other "actually", I was shocked to find out that the Springs is a pretty rough town - it has some really nice parts, especially Broadmoor, and the sports and military aspects, but there's a disproportionately large amount of violent crime, drugs, homeless/drifters, etc.

 

[pumpdog20]

NC st, VT, tOSU, Az St and Mizzo really in the mix per CP. Take it or leave it, just passing the info.

You must watch Homicide Hunter: Joe Kenda

My wife is from Co Springs... North side good - South side not so much..'cept Boradmoor and Cheyenne Mtn

I've been saying ACC makes a ton of sense for him. Not sure he totally fits at Az State with the Valencias. Mizzou makes a ton of sense also. tOSU also doesn't make a lot of sense given their talent in those weight ranges.

That's quite the haul...did they finally six lane it all the way? Love Colorado. Like the million dollar highway between Montrose and Durango.

CP and Willie were talking about him at 174 between the Valencias at ASU. Shields, A. Valencia, Reenan, Z. Valencia, Benick, Hall ... that would be a formidable top half of the lineup.

FloLive had front runners as...

VA TECH
NCST
OHIO ST
LEIGH
MIZZOU
Nebraska

Dark horse
Okie St
Iowa

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Reenan won't pan out! Remember Steve Congenie from Cornell? Same style kid! Never saw the lineup at Cornell and is a senior this year

 

[Mendoza77]

That's quite the haul...did they finally six lane it all the way? Love Colorado. Like the million dollar highway between Montrose and Durango.

I put on 50K on my truck every year, but stay off of I-25 and take a scenic county road through some horse country, plus along the way there's two camels, bison, alpaca, llamas, mini-ponies, goats, long-horn steers and other critters --- the drive both ways is the highlight of my day, a real stress-reliever.

Would FloLive happen to have the front runners in regard to Spencer Lee?

 

[edquinn06]

Would FloLive happen to have the front runners in regard to Spencer Lee?

recent interview Lee said he had already done unofficial visits to schools and he wouldn't do official visits. Schools he said he had gone to were PSU, tOSU, and Iowa.

They didn't mention it but I got a feeling us, Hawk fans, don't really want to know who the front leader probably is. Hopefully Brands will be doing something creative to get the kid.

It's down to Iowa or Penn State. That's all I can tell you for now.
