    Just got back from the closing ceremonies. What a cool experience! Yes, Jake lost a heartbreaker 4-3 in triple overtime to Fisher which placed him 4th! Jake's goal this year was to make it to State for the third time and make the podium. He fulfilled his goal! I am so proud of him and all the...

    Yes! Will be Jake's first match. Very tough bracket at 220. Conant HS sectionals had top 4 guys in the State there. They are all so good at this level...should be exciting!

    Thank you! So very proud of Jake. He worked so hard and never missed a single practice or game his entire 4 years of high school. Also wrestled and was a state qualifier soph and junior year and hopefully will make it to state this year too. He's a very humble kid and I'm extremely proud and...

    Thanks again for all these great options! I think some of the sticker prices shocked us for the D3 schools, so good to know that maybe there is help with the tuition! Honestly, really appreciate all the advice I have gotten on this thread!

    I wanted to thank everyone for all the support and advice. I sincerely appreciate it, especially EdgyTim for voting for Jake for the Bears All Star athlete and for sending his senior film out. I really had no idea how much was involved in recruiting and unfortunately hope it's not too late. I...

    Haha! Thanks for telling me! But the answer isn't no yet. He has lots of coaches talking to him. I'm not talking Pros anyways, just trying to get my son an education that doesn't put him in debt for most of his life. And you're right...I'm learning a lot of lessons in the way recruiting works...

    I know...he attended the Nike camp in Canton,OH when he was kind of out of shape and heavier than he normally was. He is in wrestling now and in much better shape and should re-do the 40 somewhere. He is also a 2 time state qualifier in wrestling. As far as his height, well we can't do anything...

    Thank you! Learning a lot about the recruiting process...wish I knew earlier! He's 6'1" 225 lbs. Several coaches talking to him from D3, some from D2. His coach sent out his highlight tape but I feel he is under the radar and I'm trying to help him get his name out there.
