bnwtwg Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Guys, you aren't going to believe this. Micic was just granted ANOTHER year of eligibility! He's going to Illinois. I was skeptical at first but my local AARP rep just confirmed the news. Apparently Poeta was able to seal the deal when he came over the top by promising Serbian scales and Belgrade weigh-in witnesses. I'm excited to see what the combined 567 years of experience can do at NCAAs this year! 2 1 1 i am an idiot on the internet

Micic is Chicago through and through whereas Medlin most definitely is not. 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
Truzzcat Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Is this the father of the Medlin that just committed to Illinois? I was on a deep dive on Seth Mendoza results and saw he bumped up from 126 to 138 and beat him 4-0 which I thought was pretty insane given he's a national caliber kid. 1 I am the personal property of VakAttack
Voice of the Quakers Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 All this experience and Intermat has Illinois ranked 19th in their tournament rankings. There is a downside to having too much experience on a team. Who thinks any of these wrestlers improves on past performance? Pucino? Ruth? And what does next season look like? Hello, transfer portal.

Expand Mendoza is a year older, and Medlin's just now approaching his adult body weight. Seth goes to college next year, while Wyatt has a couple more IHSA State Championships and Fargo titles to win. Medlin is listed at 158 for some upcoming duals. He's a growing boy. Reminds me of Jesse Delgado and IMAR. We had to ask them about their matches against each other, and they both got real animated about that rivalry! They wrestled at the Cali state championships and in at least another high school tournament. They both won matches.

Expand Ah...ok. I was thinking there was some joke that he was somehow coming back in to Wrestle after...what I assumed was a Mormon Mission, but I missed that he was a 23-year-old Freshmen. LOL...does the team Beau Bassett go jump on the list? All you need is him to take a year off Wrestling at an RTC for a year and he'll be a 23-year-old RS Freshmen! (I'm not taking a shot at the kid, a world bronze is a world bronze).
