On this list, only Brock Delsignore fits where we need help. He would have 2 years left. From Shenendahowa HS near Albany (Pop's brother runs Journeyman) -- same hs as Austin Meys.

Over-all most of us consider this past year successful. Maybe not with regard to seeding positions but certainly based on preseason projections. If Stanich defers, he obviously won’t be ranked preseason. Crookham will be pre-season #1 Beard #4 Taylor#5 The rest are not relevant to rankings. Not that...

Lopes to 125 may not be as brutal as you think. Not all high school kids pull a lot of weight. Vito wrestled 138 as a senior in 2017.

There is a lot happening behind the scenes in the portal. The teams with active 'Collective' NIL funds are spending their money to attract the elites. No question Hamiti received an offer form the OK St collective. Guys like Cardenas and McGonagle are 1-year rentals and will command dollars -- more ...

IMO, he staff was proactive in finding NIL money for Ryan Crookham. And the Historic Hotel Bethlehem was wise to step forward. Win-win. The transfer portal and NIL are connected in that neither is a marker for Lehigh for the uber elites. LU struck gold with Crookham. Beard was previously recruited, ...
