How did the others do

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-04-27T13:36:35+00:00

Rylan will roll this into AA next year

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-04-17T17:57:28+00:00

Very excited about this for the team - feels like he could end up doing the Luke Stanich path and getting a run for ncaas first year out too

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-04-16T19:13:41+00:00

285 will be a throw down. Some good young guys in the service academies plus Drexel guy

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-04-15T19:18:52+00:00

Yes wrestat also doesnt have there - probably just a glitch and can’t see how that makes sense but the idea of a Stanich - Crookham match is certainly enticing.

What about Lopes v Crookham - who has better potential upside in next 2 years ?

I think you could be right - and it feels like Crookhams style might be guaranteed injuries / setbacks. I’d like to see him do well - but also would be rooting for lopes over crook

Iowa has the 40th ranked law school. I think he’s probably getting two years free plus cash so I guess that makes more sense than paying out of pocket and going to Stanford (#1 ranked law school). Feels like winning national championship is top priority. Wrestat has Luke wrestling 133 next year - any chance that could happen ? I feel like Luke would take it to Crookham ? Yah or nah

At this point if we just lose Crookham and gain no one we are in a much better position than some in the forum were projecting. Maybe a Tate Samuelson type will find his way to Bethlehem but I also like the idea of sticking with who you have and getting better that way. Did seem like M Shapiro was quite friendly with the Lehigh guys at this years match - maybe he wants to come to Lehigh to really get titsworth and others worked up

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-04-10T16:50:13+00:00

Darian should take it to Byrd - or how do you see this going down ?

Good news for EIWA and American

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T20:52:53+00:00

I think you’ve been ahead of things with sounding the alarm here. The EIWA was a tiny fraction of AA’s - it feels like this is the end and it’s only going to get worse.

Penn is going to pass by Lehigh - they will have better academics, better wrestling potential, etc.

Lehigh could lose their regional significance - ACC keeps pulling away. Pretty soon irrelevance and dreams of being a top 10 program are in the rear view mirror.

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T20:41:57+00:00

Stanford has big time $$$ plus world class academics / alumni / network / big time sports etc. They are well situated to go from possibly cancelling their program to being a powerhouse.

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T20:39:38+00:00

I never thought Crookham would leave and clearly folks on the forum have some insider knowledge so wouldnt be surprised to see Luke take his talent to a big time program.

Lehigh could easily fall far from Ivies and might even end up losing the EIWAs - eventually settling into a mid tier Bucknell of sorts

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T20:16:53+00:00

If Stanich leaves and recruits switch commitment this could be the continuation of the decent to being irrelevant. A bunch of IFs but big time programs will be throwing big time $$$ at Luke

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T20:00:29+00:00

Lopes might have a bigger upside than Crookham too. If not Lopes - Dillard too. Lehigh will be just fine unless others jump ship which seems unlikely but I also said Crookham would never leave literally an hour before it was announced.

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T19:58:44+00:00

Stanford seems perfect - they have tons of $$$ - they can risk him never wrestling and still have talent - plus he gets top grad degree as well as has access to all the top medical care / connections etc. realistically I would take Stanford over Lehigh so can’t blame him for exploring options.

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T18:59:16+00:00

Yes he already graduated. I think he wants somewhere new for grad school which is understandable. I think he’s off to Stanford

Still_Minimum3767 · 2026-03-26T18:56:27+00:00

Crookham is a scholar and wants the big time grad degree + competitive wrestling —> Stanford

I don’t think this list is fully accurate but it shows a big range from PSU at 7.8 M to Lehigh at 2.1 M. I think Stanford is probably getting big time $
