That’s great news! Sounds like the money people behind the program will have a solid NIL package. Was concerned that he wanted better work out partners. Glad that is not an issue. Let’s get him,
Recruiting
- Thread starter Racpack
- Start date
What does that actually mean, more money than from the others? I keep hearing that we don't have the money to compete. Where would the NIL package come from?
Leonard you are right, I'm hearing Vasquez is leaning more at the school down the street. That hurts he's a good wrestler.
Right which makes it even more important to land Mullen, because there is really no one left in state for 2023...
That's what we've been hearing for a while
Guessing ☝️(edit: Looks like this may have been for Zander Silva of CBA)

It's Mullen or bust at this point. I'm just hoping we don't roll snake eyes because recruiting has been a piece of shit this year.

I thought he was more likely to go to Brown if all the Ivies.
Mullen feels like the only sure thing on the next level in this class… wouldn’t be upset at all if he’s the only guy we got for the class
I think I can agree with that. It’s worth noting that none of these guys have committed to perennial powers like Penn State, Iowa, Ohio State, or OK St so maybe none of these schools view these kids all that highly. Unless you count Cornell.
I admire your optimism in the face of reality. Bill suggested it was between Rutgers, PSU, and Michigan. Think about that for a moment. It seems Rutgers is always in the running as a polite platitude. Casale is probably the best 285 hope if he can put on enough muscle weight.
If Mullen goes elsewhere we might as well just not get anyone in this class and go all out in 2024. Recruiting has become a joke.
The Cabanillas bros from DePaul were Scorpions kids like Vasquez and they are, or were, at Brown. I heard there was a possibility Vasquez ends up there. Who knows. Wondering if academics explain why he’s still not committed anywhere yet?
Maybe we've been holding out for 1 or 2 big transfers 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Yes.. it stings we barely missed out on guys like Ferrari, Schultz, Beard.. but I like the direction we are in at least going for the big guns.. Casale is a more natural 197 so I think there’s a realistic chance his best friend comes here to train/college experience together.. if we don’t get Mullen then yeah Casale 285 n we save money for next big recruit.
Hold your horses, I think the transfer portal changed the game up a bit.. we saved money for a guy like Beard but came 2nd.. maybe if we don’t get Mullen then another transfer comes? What happened to the Monday news? And yeah worst case scenario, we get no one n go after the top 2024.. I like the idea of going for the hammers over a big class though..
I'm hearing Princeton. I could be wrong. I wish his father wasn't pushing him away from Rutgers
If Monday can't get into ASU then he doesn't have a prayer of getting into RU.
I think there’s a chance Soldano goes 184 no?
Where did Vasquez brother go. I remember him aT Scorpions too then delbarton. He might’ve went to brown

His championships were at 160, 182, and 190. It makes more sense for him to put on muscle than cut. They shouldn't put the squeeze on Poz or force him to lose ten pounds. He doesn't need that stress.
Soldano is not a 197lber. Yes he won at 160, 182 and 190...But the only reason he went 190 is because New Jersey changed the weight classes, so he either had to go 175 or 190. He decided not to cut any weight and go 190. He went 182 at the Super 32 tournament prior to the the NJ wrestling season.
It's going to be interesting to see how Poz/Soldano is handled. Both are going to help each other and the room around them big time. Poz should def take advantage of his redshirt though. Unfortunately there is going to be an overlap, but I hope not.
Evan and Tyler are brothers. Evan went to Roxbury and Rider. Family decided to send Tyler to Delbarton. Family lives in z Roxbury
I so much don't want to see Poz join the "didn't pan out" club. I'm not convinced Rutgers wrestlers have benefited from redshirt years. However, I have no reliable information about what troubled him last year, so if he needs a rest, so be it. He's too great a talent to squander.
It'll be a year later than when he went 182 for Super 32. If he's been developing physically, he should be stronger and heavier. Muscle adds weight. I hope he once again decides to not cut weight. If he's better than anyone else at 197, it would benefit the team to have him there and Poz at 184. With some luck, a revived Turley, Poz back to normal, and a tough and stronger Soldano would be a good 3-punch.
