flyingcement Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 What's the deal are they going to have a team this year or will it be some future year? Their website seemed to indicate they recently hired Alonzo Allen as assistant coach and are expected to compete this year. I'm not sure if they have any wrestlers yet though.

Formally140 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Monday was interviewed in the early rounds. He’s got 20 something committed and has been overwhelmed by how many are reaching out or want to help 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambatte Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Princeton’s Jake Marsh will be a grad student at Morgan State next year and I believe has a year of of eligibility left. It would be fun to see Morgan State vs Princeton in a dual meet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugarles Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 A Cornell recruit from Virginia, Kingsley Menifee, shifted his commitment to Morgan State. Based on HS I don't think he'd have gotten much run at Cornell so I'm happy for him and hope he can succeed.

Keeping wrestling alive at Stanford helps wrestling nationwide, in my humble opinion. Men's gymnastics decayed into becoming a mere regional sport, and it hasn't been good for the remaining teams.

billyhoyle Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Nice. Looking forward to their schedule release. Edited August 25, 2023 by billyhoyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambatte Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Morgan State schedule: https://morganstatebears.com/sports/wrestling/schedule Challenging schedule to be sure including Princeton in mid-January. A few years ago when UNC wrestled Princeton at Jadwin, Quincy and Kennedy Monday were designated captains and meet at the center of the mat for the coin toss. It was a memorable brotherly moment. Perhaps we’ll see coaches Monday vs Monday for a ceremonial handshake. The Morgan State schedule does not indicate a conference tournament for the upcoming season but if they do join the EIWA it would make even 16 man brackets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Kenny Monday isn't messing around in year one. That's a challenging slate for a first-year program, especially one that's almost entirely freshman. I'll be rooting for Morgan State to have success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of the Quakers Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 God bless the ambition - you do want to have a few high profile events to capitalize on the attention the program will have in its first season - but this seems a bit much for a team that will likely finish 18th at the EIWAs if they are admitted to the conference this year.

It’s not about this year. It’s about attracting high level recruits who want a bigger schedule than what they’ll get at sacred heart or Davidson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a step up, get better recruits, take another step up, etc. Hopefully there are some smaller opens not listed on this schedule where the current team can perform and gather confidence so that they are as prepared as possible for Year 2 and more attractive to future recruits.

Wrestlestat has them 81st of 81 in D1 with a starting lineup including one senior, one sophomore and eight freshmen. I wish them luck, but this year is going to be a struggle. As I noted in the previous post, I hope there are smaller opens on the schedule where their kids can pick up some wins and confidence.

To be fair doesn’t wrestlestat notoriously under-rate freshmen? Although of course I have no idea how highly touted any of the freshmen are, can’t seem to find any articles on their recruiting class. It does seem like they’d probably be underdogs against Sacred Heart, who are #77. I was kinda surprised Duke was #79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at dukes roster on wrestlestat, they only have 2 seniors , both with limited to no starting experience and the best 2 returning guys were 8-13 and 12-17 last year and they have one intriguing prospect , Aiden Wallace from Bergen catholic but it looks like he’s redshirting …it’s going to be a very long year for duke , they were the 80th dual team out of 80 last year and it’s looking like more of the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
