How is his recruiting?I see their coach is retiring. Is his replacement highly regarded and do you think the program will maintain its current level of success? TIA
Name one kid on last year or this years squad that’s recruited? Virtually everyone is longtime SEP kids. And I highly doubt Jessman went to Texas to recruit the Jesuroga’s.As long as Jessman Smith keeps recruiting studs they will be fine.

👍🏼Your last sentence shows you really don't know how this all works.
Come on now you actually believe that? Schools def recruit all over the state.Is SEP a catholic school? Only catholic schools recruit.
Although SEP has benefited from kids moving in, they do a pretty good job at developing their average kids too. You always see a lot of them at weekend Freco tournaments.Name one kid on last year or this years squad that’s recruited? Virtually everyone is longtime SEP kids.

I know most top schools in any sport land other top kids from other schools by a various reasons. Almost allof the SEP’s varsity team the past two seasons have been dang near life long SEP kids. And the results are still at the top.Although SEP has benefited from kids moving in, they do a pretty good job at developing their average kids too.

I’m not saying that they haven’t had there fair share of transfers because they certainly have. I’m just stating that the current look the team last season and the next couple are mostly all home grown kids.Almost all...and dang near life long...except for the ones that aren't/weren't. And the last two years...except for the many years before that. You're right that many schools recruit--especially in 3A--but please top trying to say SEP doesn't.

SEP does not recruit. Meaning they don't seek out talent. Talent comes to them.
Spoons, you can throw stones all you want, but when doing so back it up with some facts vs. hearsay. Right is whatever is within the rules. That's why they are the rules. I've seen how SEP handles their "recruits" first hand. They do not seek them out. They come to them. Parents, current/ex-wrestlers may "recruit", but coaches do not.

So speaking of transferring. I have senior son who is going to be a 120 pounder this year. We are seriously thinking of having him and my wife move to another state so he can wrestle his senior year. Does anyone have any suggestions of which school we should look at and how Iowa handles that sort of thing. I think my son is a D1 bubble guy. He wants to wrestle in college. He won a 2A (middle class) state championship 106 lbs and placed 5th in Illinois at 113 lbs. Does anyone know the rules for transferring into an Iowa school?
Yes, They would definitely move to an apt. or house for the semester. We live in central Illinois and we are not commuting and we are not having our son live by himself. My wife can work from home or in any office her company has because she works on national accounts and not local accounts. I run a business in town, therefore, I cannot move.Iowa has a 90 day sit out rule for transfers to participate in varsity sports. However, if your son AND your wife legit move to Iowa, he can participate immediately. You/your new school district will have to apply for a waiver of the transfer rule, but as long as you rent an actual apartment or house where they both actually live and you will be fine.
If your new residence is a total joke/ruse, like Arland Bruce's "move" to Ankeny, you will be denied a waiver to the transfer rule and he will have to sit out the 90 days. (Bruce is an Iowa football recruit from Kansas)
Davenport Assumption is a 2a Catholic school who tends to get Illinois studs frequently. Im sure Dan Knight at Bettendorf would be able to navigate around transfer rules too. There aren't many good teams in the southeast corner.Yes, They would definitely move to an apt. or house for the semester.

So do you have any schools or coaches that you would suggest we contact? We keep hoping things will change after the election and Illinois will open up, but there are no guarantees about that.
Thanks. Good idea.I suggest taking a look at the State meet results and finding a top school that graduated a kid in your son's weight class. The worst thing would be picking a school that had strong wrestlers at that weight and your boy couldn't get on the mat.

I believe if you don't both move you will have to file for divorce for immediate eligibility. You don't have to complete the divorce. Just show that you've filed. I believe that is why the KC player transferring to Ankeny that Spoons is referencing has been deemed ineligible thus far because his whole family didn't move.Yes, They would definitely move to an apt. or house for the semester.

I am not sure I want to give my wife any ideas like that. She has to smarten up sooner or later. Can anyone confirm this? It does not sound right to me, but I am not familiar with Iowa transfer rules.I believe if you don't both move you will have to file for divorce. You don't have to complete the divorce.

My assumption is that since the whole family didn't move the State feels they will move directly back after the semester is over. Again, just my assumption.I'm not getting the whole Arland Bruce thing. From what I understand, Arland and Mom moved to Ankeny but the two younger siblings stayed in Kansas. However, mom gave guardianship to an uncle. So what grounds is IHSAA using to deny his playing?

Nate Moore wasn't a Ncaa Champ his cousin Cliff Moore wasI would also look a little bit further like IC West or Lisbon. IC West just had a couple of guys commit to Oregon State and SDSU and a grad from last year that went to Harvard. Their coach is former NCAA champ Nate Moore who will be in his third year. Plus, your son would have a guy like Garvin (returning jr state champ) near his weight. He could also roll with Eastern Iowa Wrestling Club guys which has some of those Lisbon dudes. It's an extra 50 miles might be worth it.
