Hearing he’s coming

Great pickup. A lot of talent. Saw the commitment online. I knew. He liked us the first go around. I wonder if that means Caden to 97

[mookie]

Now that's some juice! Excellent news.

[LUEngineer]

Will he be 174 or 184?

If 184 then Caden could be odd man out for at least a year.

This is a nice portal 3 year pickup for sure.

[LUEngineer]

Could be a nice competition for the 2 Rogers as both have underperformed this far but both have great potential. Let’s hope both blossom.

Really nice pickup.

He will almost certainly be going at 184 which brings up the point I made in an earlier post. There is more similarities to Caden and Rylan other than their last names.

Rylan was a dark blue chip recruit a few years ago ranked I believe as the #13 recruit in his class and #2/#4 at 195#. Both have tried the drop to 184# with less than desirable results. I have absolutely no idea whether it was the drop that held either or both back but only the future will tell us.

He was 15-8 at Michigan and wrestlestat has him at #39 for this coming season. A change of scenery and his upside may be huge.

I'm certainly glad he will be wrestling for us now.

Got confused on last names as Caden Wright & Rylan Rogers.

Only one can go 184 & both were talented high school wrestlers. Hope the sharpen each other & one moves up the following year.,

Rogers announced his LU commitment on X several hours ago.
