Did we just get a Wrestling commit?
- Thread starter bigmatt718
- Start date
May be nothing but prior to start of the match today the coaching staff was talking to a young man in a Delbarton warm up jacket next to the bench. Glory?
Paetzall just tweeted, "Congrats on becoming a Scarlet Knight" to a Robbie Cleary. I guess hes from Bound Brook. Anyone know more about him?
If it is Cleary, he is senior at BB, ranked #2 in NJ at 138, not ranked in Intermats top 20 at 138. We also have Blair Academy's Malcom Robinson ranked in Intermat top 20 at 138 who is a Junior committed to RU. Cleary is a teammate of 152 Bound Brook's Stephan Glasgow, ranked #1 in NJ, #5 in USA
Now I'm curious who the Delbarton wrestler was that was attending the match. Glory would a HR but gonna take a lot of work to land him.
LOL @ "snob factor" as if going to Cornell or Harvard were otherwise beneath somebody for taking the opportunity to go to an Ivy. I mean, Cornell has a top 10 wrestling program as well, and Harvard is Harvard!
One thing I learned about wrestling recruiting g is alot of kids follow the money. If one school is offer 3/4 ship and another is offering full ride. The full ride tends to win out at the end. One would think Glory is a Full ride candidate at Rutgers. Wonder if the Ivy's can match it with their scholarship limitations.
dont know about Ivy's but Stanford can give him a Boatload of $$(or UNC or Lehigh etc)
Programs with sustained success find creative ways to provide non-athletic scholarship money in one form or another. Ivy's have deep pockets. Hopkins, too. Close-by examples -- Lehigh and Penn State wrestling. Baseball programs in the South are other good examples. Rutgers does not have deep pockets and numerous generous alumni to provide financial answers (and, ahem, career upgrades to people associated with top-flight talent).
