>>>>>>> mookster, like everyone else, is certainly entitled to his opinion———- but regardless of what Oracle believes, mookster is not entitled to blatantly misrepresent facts.

mookster obviously doesn’t like Caden———but that’s no reason to lie about the guy’s time at Lehigh.

>>>>>>One yr on the DL and 2nd year trying to make 184 with limited success.

I believe we’re still waiting for the 3rd yr to begin———-but let’s not let facts interfere with the narrative.

>>>>>> I know LVWC is technically separate from Lehigh—— but LVWC and NIL are intertwined with the overall wrestling program. Alums/boosters raised the funds to endow wrestling scholarships, endow coaching positions, renovate Grace Hall, renovate the wrestling practice facility and provide annual gi...

>>>>>>> Reply to mookster: It’s just a function of setting priorities———- for instance— fewer LVWC post grads to add a recruiting coordinator. Take the discussion one step further with another example———if a recruiting coordinator cost $60,000/yr all in——-would we be better using those funds for $30...

>>>>>>I’m not opposed to adding another staff position for a recruiting coordinator, but to my understanding, we already have four coaches, an admin, a head coach for LVWC plus 8-9 LVWC wrestlers on the overall payroll. To land and retain elite recruits in the NIl era, I believe we need to have fund...

>>>>>> Spladie’s words. “Squat seems fair to me until proven otherwise”. I disagree with HFO and spladiie’s posts that Lehigh got “squat” from the portal when we recruited Rogers. We all seem to agree that the “jury is still out” —————- so why the need to rag on a recruited wrestler before he even w...

>>>>>>>Thanks for the clarification of guys considered to be ‘squat’. Basically all wrestlers who have not finished rd/12 or better——- or in Hines case, finished rd/12 two years ago——are ‘squat’ Every NCAA qualifier who doesn’t’ make rd/12 is ‘squat’ per HFO and spladie By that measure, Crookham and...

>>>>>>>>Of course the ‘jury is still out’ on Rogers ——-same as every other recruit.

But labeling him ‘squat’ ————is just silly when he was ranked in the top 15 as a hs recruit, has 3 years of remaining eligibility, and fills a needed weight.

>>>>>>>Interesting definition of ‘squat’

Three pre-season AAs, including #1 ranked Crookham @133———-with Stanich not included due to his planned redshirt.

Always room for improvement, but 3AAs plus Rogers via transfer is a far cry from ‘squat’.

>>>>Agree 100% that LVWC is a support mechanism. Also agree 100% that the recruiting fundamental is still high quality hs recruits. Next would be high quality transfers with multiple remaining eligibility years. A plug-and-play grad transfer can be valuable—— but only for a short term need. Lastly, ...
