Damn - Renteria decommits as well
- Thread starter Chickenman Testa
- Start date
UNC with Ramos going to be tough to beat. Also, I'd prefer Mejia who can go 125, unless the staff thing Suriano can hold 125 for 4 years
What about Austin DeSanto from Exeter? He had a good season except for the Lee match.
I haven't heard anything about his college interests.

UNC might be where he ends up, but Renteria and Cortez are also close.
Mejia is not wanted by Penn State. Suriano will be a career 125. If 159-0 receives a commitment from Fix, he is seen as a 133 by the decision-maker.
Yeah, I don't think Mejia fits at Penn State. Skill set is there. I'm not certain about the one intangible that Cael always talks about: attitude.
Haha. Well played.
It's my understanding that he is 160 walking around but like Cenzo, that situation could change.
Isn't Berge coming off a pretty significant injury; I wonder how his recovery is going and if there is any threat to his future college career?

Not sure if it's much of a deterrent but having Nick Lee coming in at 141 in the same class could be an issue. I guess he (Lee) could project to 149 eventually, but I'm not sure that will happen for another couple of years....pretty hard to say how he will grow.
Who would you say is the more accomplished/refined prospect Today? Renteria or Nick Lee?
I've seen Lee wrestle a couple of bouts; haven't seen Renteria wrestle. Intermat has Renteria at #5 at 120; Lee is #3 at 132. I really like Lee's aggressive style on his feet, he's going to be very good. I'm sure Renteria will too. Lee came very, very close to beating Red in the IN state finals.
He's going to be a good one. Tough, hard-nosed and has been brought up right. A little
story about him: At trials this year, he didn't make weight and had to wrestle up. He got to the semi finals and was going to have to wrestle his OPRF teammate, Jaime Hernandez. He told me that if he had originally planned to go that weight, he would have but his Dad and him talked and that they felt that his teammate shouldn't be punished; Jaime did all the right things and JRent didn't so there should be accountability for not making weight so he forfeited the match.
That's the type of kid somebody is getting...BTW, I see him starting out at 133 and going 141.

Well, that should work out just fine then given that the timing with Cortez would be about right. Also, this assumes that Suriano stays at 125.
Lee also finished 3rd at JR world team trials. Lost in the challenge tournament finals to Seth Gross, who beat Gulibon at nationals. Beat Taylor Lamont in the challenge semis.
Renteria is not being pursued by the coaching staff. If he wants to come and pay his own way, I am sure they would be happy to have him on the roster.
For some reason 141 has been one of the hardest weights for Cael to fill. So far ZR has been his only AA at that weight.
Hopefully Jimmy will change that this year.
Nice story Azchief. I like character and that shows good character!
These stories always seem a little weird to me. It's almost a little arrogant. It's not like anyone did anything "wrong". JRent didn't make weight, so there are consequences, i.e. he moves up and that's that. Or it should be that IMO. No bad feelings in wrestling.
Have heard nothing but good things about him and I have no doubt he'll be successful.
I wonder if McKee ends up back on the open market with all that's going on at Minnesota? I was really impressed with how he looked at the Junior events; appears to be a real good 141 prospect.
"Once Cortez serves his two seasons at 133 and final season at 141, the 133 weight class could be manned by potential recruits such as Fix, Brian Courtney, or Max Murin."
Does Nick Lee then go to 149 or redshirt and fill in after Cortez leaves?
