Someone needs to inform the writer of this article that "Arizona" does not have a wrestling program. I am "ASSUMING" he meant Arizona State. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bronco 231 Report post Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) New recruits are only allowed to make five official visits - to 5 separate schools. That is the NCAA limit on official visitations. However they can make "unofficial" visits (on their dime) if they choose to do so. Edited April 8, 2020 by Bronco add Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Idaho 1,344 Report post Posted April 8, 2020 Yep - he could add as many unofficial visits as he wants. He has made 2 official visits - the article actually says he will "probably" visit the other 3 schools - so that could change. If he wants Ivy then Princeton is the up and coming team and they already went to visit him. The virus has put a lot of kids in limbo having to wait so long- unfortunate for kids to have to figure this out so late. With Pendleton leaving ASU and now Kelly leaving, I wonder if that affects his decision - especially with Kelly leaving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

potentiallydangerous 413 Report post Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I'm just speculating from looking at what schools he went to, first year at St John Bosco which is a parochial school in Los Angeles county, then second year at Santiago, a public school in Corona which is in Riverside county, so either the family moved, wanted to stop paying tuition, something like that, then last two years at Excelsior Charter high school also in Riverside county, maybe they didn't like the curriculum at the public school. It may not be nefarious, you never know. If he followed a coach or transferred for wrestling, someone closer to the situation would have to say.

pamela 1,334 Report post Posted April 10, 2020 Could be grades or something academic that might have been related to a scholarship at St. John Bosco, but if I were to also speculate it's probably because the family relocated. CIF I believe does not allow athletes to transfer to follow a coach. Also transferring once is doable under CIF rules, but twice would be very tough to pull off without losing eligibility unless there was a legitimate reason. His sisters go to school in Corona, so it kind of makes sense. Plus, wrestling practice was probably at Excelsior's main campus in Victorville - that's a pretty crummy drive from Corona, but a downright suicidal commute from where he was from in Los Angeles. I wouldn't wish that daily drive on my worst enemy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Idaho 1,344 Report post Posted April 10, 2020 I don't think Princeton would go out to California to visit him if it were grades. I would lean toward the other reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muskyjunky 21 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 Ohio state seems unlikely to me due to the talent next season already on the roster For next season in that area of weight classes . Particularly with Anthony E now on board . Not sure if Sasso stays 49 either . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although not axiomatic, those with the grades and test scores to get into Princeton rarely have character issues (but among those that do, they're probably much more serious). Add blue chip D1 wrestling prospect to the mix, and it's even less likely. Nutty parents I'll give you. That said, although I wouldn't be surprised if he switched schools for academic and/or wrestling purposes, four does seem high.

Bronco 231 Report post Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Another great addition for the Sun Devils. Vasquez COULD very well be ASU's starter at 149 lbs for 2021. And he fills one of the two most pressing areas of need for ASU, i.e., 149 and 165. I could easily see Arizona State's 2021 lineup being the following: 125 - Brandon Courtney - 2021 RS Junior - 2020 PAC 12 champion 133 - Michael McGee - 2021 RS Junior - Two-time MAC champion (2018 & 2019) 141 - Julian Chlebove - 2021 RS Freshman 149 - Jesse Vasquez - 2021 True Freshman 157 - Jacori Teemer - 2021 RS Sophomore - 2020 PAC 12 champion 165 - Trey Munoz - 2021 RS Freshman 174 - Anthony Valencia - 2021 RS Senior 184 - Cade Belshay - 2021 RS Junior 197 - Kordell Norfleet - 2021 Senior? or RS Junior? 285 - Cohlton Schultz - 2021 RS Freshman Edited April 19, 2020 by Bronco addition Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
