They are friendly and some of the greatest Hawk wrestling fans you will ever meet. It's a sea of black and gold up there.

I would honestly chose Nate over any prospect of 133/141. Really hoping we can bring him back on board. Hopefully the coaches know these details and on full steam ahead on recruiting him! Imagine Leo DeLuca and Nate Jesuroga for the next 4 years!
This is an insane take to me. You would rather have a prospect that quit wrestling in HS 3 years ago over the equally ranked prospects that are are 100 invested and actively wrestling?

If he is fully committed to being back on the mat and is hitting on all cylinders, he can go with anyone. Stand by that.

He was a great wrestler and if he was to fully commit to wrestle again, I think he would be an elite prospect. Look at who he beat and who he wrestled with. Jax barely beat him. Jax has grown but he was still great then.

I would choose A healthy fully committed Nate, who still has the ability to wrestle at a high level. That’s just me.

Also, after watching the whole interview I would be shocked if he didn’t wrestled at the Navy Academy (if he did choose to wrestle), especially if he wants to be an officer in the Navy; but Corby did say he could see him coming back and it maybe not being at Navy. And Corby was/is close with the Sebolt crew. So I do put some weight on his comments; but we will see.

You don’t get to say I want to wrestle at the Naval Academy and it just happens. You need to meet their academic standards and then maintain them. It’s not for everybody.

No one gets to choose to attend any of the academy’s. You must be appointed.

You need a nomination first in order to be eligible to receive an appointment. You are required to receive a nomination from a nominating authority in order to attend the Naval Academy.

That would be the two senators and the four representatives from Iowa (must be from where the candidate resides) or the sitting vice president.

If Kolat wants him, I’m sure they could get it done but if he wants to be an officer and create, it is more likely that he go to any university that has an ROTC program and wrestling.

it would be very rare.

Well he hated it for a few years and now he's back on the mat. As a wrestling guy that makes me happy. I don't care if he wrestles again or not I just know he doesn't have that hate for it anymore and that's enough for me
True enough. Hopefully he stays injury free.

You can also get a command nomination from your military commander for those currently serving. A political nomination isn’t the only route.

True the CO is a Nomination Authority.
The President could as well, but not sure if one ever has.

The point I was making to contrast what many were saying that you can “choose” to “enroll” to the academies.

it is a more complicated process than choosing/applying/enrolling.
