I have no inside scoop, but I wonder if Diego Sotelo could find his way to Illinois (his homestate and they have an opening at 125) or follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Yara over to Rutgers.  

did he (Sotelo) graduate from Harvard?

if not,  I would think that's a slim to no chance

He’s been there for 4 years, so seems likely he will by the end of this year at least.

Hard to imagine someone willingly wanted to give up a Harvard degree. Unless he'd be a grad student, which he could be. I am completely unaware of he is eligibility wise.

Shouldn't 4 years be enough to get the degree?

Honestly didn't realize he had been there four years. I haven't followed him, or Harvard, that closely tbh.

I believe the Ivy rule is 8 semesters more than graduated or not. Perhaps whichever comes first?

I never heard of that account until a couple weeks ago, but he seems to have a better batting average than Minnow so far

Basch is now saying Miller committed to ISU and VT flipped him, that didn't happen. Miller never committed to ISU, always planned on taking the VT visit.

Basch says he was speaking with Miller directly.  I don’t believe he ever used the word “committed” in regards to ISU though, just that that was where he told Basch he was going but then he changed his mind

Well that account’s posts escalated quickly.

Post 1: I donated $25 to support Bakersfield wrestling

Post 2: I heard Thompson is visiting Iowa

Post 3: Brayden and Zach beat on Merrill like a red headed stepchild

Anybody have that one free year that they can't use at their current institution (Ivy) or just someone who it makes sense to make a move?

For me, and I said this last year, I want to see Gilcher head somewhere else than Indiana.  I was hoping it would be Michigan this year, to wrestle with his brother, but I don't think he starts at Michigan if he heads there next year.  Also, not sure Dylan starts at Michigan next year, either.  Catrabone is a stud... like a mini-Rogotzke without the illegal slams.

Now, were Dylan to head to Indiana (which I am told that Indiana and Michigan were has final two), I could get to see them both give it a go.  I just don't know what weight the bigger Gilcher goes, because Lillard is holding down 165lbs (unless Lillard heads up/down).  What school would want/need their services?  A school like Buffalo (which has connections to Michigan via a former wrestler on their coaching staff - Freeman)?

Josh Saunders (Cornell) might be able to head elsewhere (North Carolina?) or Gregor Diakomihalis (to Virginia Tech)?

Maximus Hale of Penn might be looking to head elsewhere (Michigan needs a 184lber yeah?)?  Composito was in the same class as Hale, so he might need to head elsewhere.

Both Josh Saunders and Greg Diakomihalis will be back at Cornell next year and both are eligible to wrestle for Cornell

Few things that make sense about Michigan:
1) Good RTC for his freestyle aspirations.  He would be one of many non-US team members 
2) Ann Arbor is only five hour drive from his hometown (if that matters at all to him)
3) Michigan is considered to be at a similar caliber of education compared to his current institution North Carolina
4) Michigan has demonstrated powers of persuasion in the past (deep NIL pockets?) and has utilized the portal heavily
5) With all due respect to Gilcher, McNeil can slide in as a starter at 149 without having to shift the rest of the lineup around.
