Knox & Cornell

[WCwrestling]

Is Knox leaving Cornell or just sitting out(grey shirting) this year?

[MNRodent]

Some random on the internet saying he got in trouble for fighting, but I have my doubts.  Why would a 5'3" 125 pounder want to be out fighting people?

[Cornell Kevin]

Knox is not leaving Cornell.  He along with the rest of the 2025 class (8 top 60 Big boarders (Knox, Jude Correa, Eli Diakomahalis, Alessio  Perentin, The Cortez Bros, Rocco Dellagatta, Adrien DeJesus) are all greyshirting

Don't give Lisa hate. Need more females like her chipping in on here. Keeps some of you schmucks in line.

You need a reminder of the Barry Switzer Stan Able story.

This was a Big Apple story, perhaps someone could dig it out of old forum archives, I won't tell it well but basically:

Switzer calls Abel into his office cause wrestler(s) beat up football player(s) at a bar.  Abel stands there and takes the verbal abuse from Switzer.  When he's done Abel tells Switzer he can tell the wrestler himself.  Stan steps aside and the OU 126 lb was standing behind him the whole time.  Barry looks at him ... says nevermind now get out of my office.

Only poop-emoji-ing stuff that they seem is asinine (which most of the time actually isn't), isn't keeping anybody in check.

[Gantry]

If you have people on ignore, you also don't see their reactions to posts. More reason to do so...

Oh, it doesn't actually bother me.

I am trying to stir the pot  because the emojis are typically towards the same three or four folks.

Gabe Dean, Dylan Palacio, Brian Realbuto, Mark Grey all redshirted the same year.

Ben Darmstadt, Max Dean and a couple of others redshirted and joined true freshman Yianni.

This recruiting class is very special (well, not PSU special), and Cornell already has a number of quality starters this year.  It might get ugly next year at the top weights (soph Mikey Dellagatta, and frosh Jude Correa, Rocco Dellagata, Elijah Diakomihalis).  My hope is Mikey D drops to 184, Correa goes 197, and Rocco D/Elijah D fight it out at 285, or Elijah D goes 197 and Correa goes 285 (ain't nobody in the room gonna beat him).

Knox would have to face Greg D at 125 (don't underestimate Little D); Isaiah Cortez and Ferrera/Ungar at 133, DeJesus and Cornella at 141, Perentin and Cerchio at 165.

Setting up a lineup for 2026-27 like

Knox (fr)

Cortez (fr)

Cortez (fr)

Joy (fr)

Shapiro (sr)

Cerchio/Perentin (so/fr)

Ruiz (jr)

Dellagatta (so)

Letting the grapes mature on the vine isn't punting. Its giving themselves the best chance for a team trophy in the next 4 years. 

 

However, I was referring to the Cornell tradition of greyshirting/community college-ag school admission.

But are ya gonna let them grapes hang on the vine for two years?    Maybe a good Cornell Ag student could provide insight?
