WrestlingGod Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Marchetti Johnson Baucke Elsea Mosley Hooker All starters, Watson I was told is injured, not sure about Manley who started last two seasons at Stanford. Bruner and Clemons are likely redshirted. Boykin and Schrader both list their wrestle offs, but Boykin doing a good job for an injured Johnson. Shrader won his wrestle off and tore his hamstring the first dual of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasslinlite Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 He's not on the team. What happened he was before Christmas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingGod Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 What happened he was before Christmas ?No idea, not my place to ask what happened. I just know he's not on the team. But I was told by a source, on the team, on 12/15 that he wasn't on the team. My guess is, by the way he was saying, is he had been off the team for some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernwrestler Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 It seems like all D1 wrestlers that wrestle in college wrestle at UTC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommers Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hasn't been a bad contribution based on recent news. See the noise makers thread all divisions for an update on how our public school graplers are helping in the practice room and as varsity team members. Very proud of true freshman Scottie Boykin!

For the most part other than Cameron Croy (Brentwood High School/Harvard) you are correct. The public school kids may want to stay close to home for a variety of reasons: finances, grades, girlfriend, family, etc... The application process to the military academies and elite academic schools require a combination of excellent grades, test scores, community service hours and athletic ability. The application process & financial aid requirements are somewhat complicated at the academic schools and if the guidance staff is not familiar with the process it could put some student/athletes at a disadvantage. Another issue with some kids is they just don't want to stray very far from home. I have always said that kids that go out of state for college must be very mature because they are on their own and mom/dad can't take them to dinner when they are having a bad day.

I was mainly speaking of the ELITE academic schools & MILITARY ACADEMIES. The post was just a few ideas as to why so many D1 kids decide to attend UTC. What is your opinion?

Sommers Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Cbg is absolutely correct as to why Tennessee D2 goes Ivy and other schools with a 10,000/1 acceptance ratio with a few exceptions like Croy/Spain/Cregan (I believe Princeton & Brown?) Didn't we have a Brighton kid head off to one too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
