Sucks for Shapiro that he is having concussion issues. Discretion is the better part of valor once these problems arise. Even what seems to be subconcussive events can cause further damage. I feel really bad for him but hope he does not hang on too long.

Upcoming match v. Lehigh could have some good individual matches, but hard to see how Lehigh steals a win. Lehigh has a shot at many weights: 125 - Lili v. Seymour - Seymour is pretty tough, but Lili favored 133 - Crookham at least a slight favorite over Davis/Nagao 141 - Stanich is interesting but BB favored 197 - Beard in at least a tossup HWT - Taylor is tough, but probably not on the level of Kerk Would take a minor miracle for Lehigh to win the dual.

Illinois and Lehigh had big days with a lot of strong results. Penn had a pretty good day as well with some key wins by at least Incontrera and underclassmen Swisher, Wasilewski, and Gallagher. Max Hale will be back next semester at 184. Not sure what is up with Cosgrove at 197 but he has not yet seen action. At 285, frosh Pardo is undersized but has a good motor - which we do not always see at that weight.

Should be some great matchups! I hear tix are hard to get. A few notes: I think Noto was just up at 133 - if memory serves. For Penn, at HWT Pardo, a freshman, emerged from wrestle offs. Also, Almyeda dec. Miller at 133. Did not see Sement or Cosgrove in action last week - uncertain if they are going.

Quite a list of teams - is this the tourney where they have round robins rather than full brackets?

Anyone know what teams or wrestlers are registered or expected? Could not find it on the webpage or flo (who apparently will stream it).

For the very top rated guys, it may be that patience pays off with competing NIL offers? Who wouldn't enjoy a bidding war for your services?

yes - that is more precise! Also agree that Cornell and Ithaca are gorgeous after school lets out in the Spring!

Penn has a red v. blue dual on Nov. 3rd - have heard nothing on matches. But here are some uninformed guesses from looking at the roster! 125 Gallagher v. Pruet 133 Almeyda v. Miller v. Barnhart v. Nardone 141 Composto v. Mougalian v. Hauserman 149 Wasilweski v. Dunnigan v. Delsanter 157 Swisher v. Troczynski v. Ognissanti 165 Sement v. Spencer v. Thomson v. Fullmer 174 Incontrera v. Bennett 184 Taylor (2nd semester Max Hale expected to compete) 197 Cosgrove v. Connolly 285 Cruise v. Delsanter v. Pardo

I have no information, but assume this was an NIL offer that Cornell did not or could not match. Ithaca as "elitist" country makes me smile. It is very pretty in the summer!

could be revenue driven. Cornell might demand a home and home. Have no data but guessing the gate at Cornell home duals are disproportionate - and probably less than Lehigh at Stabler.

I was actually kidding as that resume is off the charts in achievements that illustrate his readiness for high level NCAA accomplishment.

You are wrong and your ego is in the way of clear thinking. NIL existed back then but the NCAA rules (that unlawfully and unethically) prevented athletes from profiting from their own names, images, amnd likenesses. No defensible analysis of the morality of recruiting parctices and culture from that era can ignore this sad reality from the past. Universities and their governing body were oppressing the athletes and essentially misappropriating the individual athlete's rights to monetize their own individual name, image, and likeness.

ok - so he has had some early luck past results are no gaurantee of future performance

Disagree. The ethical duties and code of morality you sugguest are hard to reconcile with ethics and lawful right to harvest and maximize individial NIL opportunities/rights. Athletes having the freedom to profit from their own NIL - this has its own ethics as well as legal protections. These rights tend to Trump NCAA rules and the NCAA recruiting code of the hills you urge as "moral standards." Not much moral to me from the old system where the schools got all of the benefits and Athlete4s essentially lost their own NIL opportunities.
