Well, kind of a good thing. But with Ryder and the twins is their room?Halfway to history: Frazier wrestling phenom Rune Lawrence keeping cool while approaching rarified air - Pittsburgh Union Progress
With the PIAA championships fast approaching, Rune Lawrence is halfway toward joining one of the most exclusive clubs in high school sports.
As pointed out by another poster in a different thread, it's very possible that Sanderson's in-home visit to Lawrence occurred prior to the recent verbal commitment from the Mirasola twins.
That just doesn’t sound like a coach that wants the recruit very much. All I think about is SVN talking about how Cael wouldn’t take no for an answer. Maybe I’m way off, but as a dad/recruit, that’s not a quote I would have shared.
I think a large part of level of accomplishment difference is the rooms the guys end up developing in.
This sounds like a coach who is very confident in his recruiting strategy and results. Which he should be. And one who takes a sincere interest in the athlete -- there have been stories of Cael being the only coach to ask recruits about their interests and goals outside of wrestling.
I wouldn't go that far, I don't think Cael is going into the living room of a kid he doesn't want very much. But I think he's hoping he's a kid who would maybe come for little to no money, which is probably a long shot but the kid is like 2 hours from PSU, why not let him know I would love for you to come to PSU.
Cael cared enough to go to Rune's home. That is huge. With all the studs in the program, I would wager most are not getting a lot of $$. NIL cane be the game changer here.
We should be able to get this kid some sweet NIL money to help out. I hate to see this kid as a Suckeye or part of the Children of the Corn. This kid has the frame at 6'3 to be nice heavy in a couple of years if he wants as well.
Johnny Sebastian was killa. From my high school (Bergen Catholic). Both shoulders went on him. The kid has guts. He went through complete shoulder reconstructions had to take two years off and still tried to come with back Wisky. He got back to top 15 his last year bit was never the same wrestler with those shoulders. I pray Howard doesn't follow in footsteps. Good news is he earned undergrad and masters from NW and another MBA from Wisky! That is alot of degrees! I saw him in church a couple of weeks ago in Ramsey and he looked great. I wouldn't want those shoulders later in life though.
Sebastian wanted to come to PSU, but then he visited a practice. It didn't go nearly according to plan -- McCutcheon pinned him every time they paired up. He had nothing for Mouse at all.
He was a three time NJ State Champ! He was more than competitive at NW and Wisky. He was ranked and doing fine until his shoulders disintegrated. He wanted a top notch business education and NW beats PSU in that category.
