RegularStalling Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Would love for it to be Merrill, but my guess is Zepeda. Willie floated the possibility of him transferring to Valiant last week, so I assumed there was some link to ASU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schunke says today he is playing football in college. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if Cody Merrill ended up there since ASU landed Nicholas Sahakian (high on the 2025 big board) who is projected at HWT. It wouldn’t hurt to have 2 heavyweight prospects? Also, Willie would always say that Cody Merrill is a Stanford lean; but they landed Carter Neves who is a stud projected at HWT. So idk, who knows. Whoever lands Merrill will land a stud, he is one of the best HWT prospects, I bet he will win a NCAA title sometime in his collegiate career!

Idaho Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) From Gilroy paper... " The junior standout competed at 195 pounds last season and was planning on wrestling at 220 this season. “I wasn’t planning to go heavyweight, but things change and you have to make the best of it,” he said.

Gus Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It’s my understanding that Jacob will compete for Cornell this year and entered as a grad transfer to use his remaining year of eligibility at ASU for the 2024-2025 season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedFan Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 46 minutes ago, flyingcement said: Is it possible he has been taking credits in the summer to graduate early? He is listed on the Cornell roster (recently updated to include incoming freshmen) as a senior. That means that 1) he's enrolled, and 2) he has eligibility left. If he were to be graduating early, he wouldn't be on the roster. Same with Foca and Fernandes, as they all likely stayed in school during the COVID year (burning a year of Ivy eligibility, but not NCAA eligibility). Ramirez is listed as a junior (all four graduated HS the same year), which implies that he did not stay in school that year. I'm guessing this is for the following year, as he has two years of NCAA eligibility left. But the Cornell/Ivy situation is a mess all around... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunDevil Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 I guess Zeke still plans on having a giant hole at 197 in 2025. Announcing transferring 12 months in advance, before the current season even begins. Ridiculous. Don’t like these circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chlebove is a bit better than advertised and had more experience. I'd go with him at 133. Vasquez as the starter at 141 but if he can't stay healthy as he has had a hard time doing, they have a high caliber prospect ready to step up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
