Transfers??

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Anyone transferring schools? Anyone who was planning on transferring should have gotten their boundry exceptions approval by now...I dont believe hardships are being reviewed until August or September.

Any information on who will take over at Ironwood Ridge, Seton Catholic and Mesa Mountain View?

 

[chingon76]

i've heard there will be a couple of transfers from Seton into Corona Del Sol

 

[East Valley]

I heard that too.

Mountain Views coach will be announced next week. He's a stud I'm pumped. I haven't heard about Seton or IR.

anyword on new coaches at Mesa Mt. View, Ironwood Ridge and Seton Catholic?

 

[East Valley]

Mtn View hired Corey Anderson from Cleveland HS in New Mexico. He was at Freestyle State Saturday. He is the perfect fit. His previous teams won 3 of the last 5 State titles & he's coached a lot of All-Americans. 3 time coach of the year. The Toro family is very excited to have him!

So who from Seton is going to Corona?

I head Rico who sat out last year at Seton is going to Queen Creek

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Rico would be a great addition to a team challenging for a D-2 State Team Championship.

Merritt Taylor will be wrestling for Safford HS his Senior year.

Good to see Merritt Taylor back on the mat, he will be a great addition to the Bulldogs

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Now that school is out, who is transferring? (especially with the new AIA transfer rule only have to miss 50% of the season and be elgible) Is this good for the sport/school/student?

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Any transfers confirmed yet, sounds like Mordecai is moving to Colorado, according to a feed recently. Anyone know is Marcus Castillo will be back at Marana Mt. VIEW? Also heard several of the remaining studs at Ironwood Ridge might be jumping ship. Can anyone confirm Hawkins brothers transfered to WilliaMs Field.

 

[East Valley]

On facebook I saw a Williams field team picture at a summer camp. The Hawkins boys were in the picture. My guess is yes they are there.

So the word is 5 Seton Catholic wrestlers are transferring to Corona. If that is the case, it will be interesting who will wrestle in what weight classes. Konecny, Dolce, Milnes and Carmona all wrestle 145's. If Corona get 5 Seton wrestlers and they can work the weight classes, they are CLEARLY the best team in D-1.

Top 5
1. Corona
2. Sunnyside
3. Cibola
4. Mesa Mt. View
5. Desert Vista

 

[East Valley]

So does that mean the transfers can only wrestle after December?

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Thats gonna be interesting, if they move back to their home boundary school or relocate to the district they wanna go to then I don't see them having to sit out till after December.

How do you figure having 3 guys transfer in at the same weight will make them CLEARLY be better than Sunnyside? Who are the other two? I have heard that Hovis is going to Poway. While I think that it will make things much more interesting Sunnyside still has the upper hand up to 138. 145-160 lean towards Seton. 170-HWT is a toss up, though I am calling it now, Sunnyside's upper weights are going surprise a lot of people. I still think Sunnyside has the tools and will win the State Championship.

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Nothing confirmed on weights for this year but based on last year's roster, record and state placements/qualifier. PRE-line ups for Sunnyside and Corona. This doesn't include
any transfers going to Sunnyside or incoming freshman.

That's my point it makes it interesting. Take those 5 Seton guys out and it is not even close. Sunnyside just reloads at the lower weights. Garcia actually weighing 106 pounds will be a force. Sunnyside will get points at state in the lower weights. It is those upper weights that will be key. With the new Football coach at SS being a big wrestling supporter they are bound to get some big guys in there. A full season of a true heavyweight and 220 in the Sunnyside Wrestling Room will be scary.

 

[Coach P]

Dont forget about Matt Rees at about 170....state qualifier (I think) as a freshman two years ago. Sat out last year due to injury. I honestly think Bravo may go 132. I mean, it will probably help the team alot (extremely loaded in the lower weights with several Middle School champs coming in). Head to Head... I don't see SS losing one match up until 145. And then only by a few points. The only weights I would give to Corona at this point are 152 and 160. Maybe 220 as well. At the very least....the transfers will make this year much tougher for SS, who was going to probably run away with it. Don't count out Tucson HS....Deberry has quietly built himself a solid program with a few potential state champs.

 

[bayoubadger]

Rees ended the season wrestling 195 while weighing significantly less than that (considering he wrestled 152 at Fargo that year) because SS had a hole that needed to be filled. He had a 20-11 record but did not qualify for state (probably would have had he been wrestling his natural weight). I could see Bravo at 132 he's going to win a state championship at whatever weight he wrestles. I am really interested to see what happens 195-HWT at SS.
