Yup didn’t get in…grades, lawsuit, other BS…Cornell doesn’t need that headache.

Crazy because I was chased with pitchforks and burned at the stake when I said him getting charged might keep him out of Cornell. id assume he ends up at Iowa or iowa state now

He’s wrestled 6 matches, won 3 by tech, 2 by pin, and lost 7-4 to the #1 kid in the country.
Didn’t he lose to Bouzakis too? This was before Bouzakis we knew he would be elite at 125. Obv now the loss doesn’t look as bad

I had a feeling.. wrestlestat rankings just rely on algorithm without some common sense. I’m high on Bouzakis as anyone at 125 but he doesn’t deserve the #1 ranking rn.

Some people are saying Iowa and Nebraska.I think it would be a bad move on his part if he did go to those schools.All his support and fans are right here, especially his dad.

I’ve heard Rutgers is a legitimate option. I think Virginia Tech will also be in the mix.

Knox is not an Ivy kid. I didn’t expect him to last there, I think he only wanted to go there because of Mike Grey.

He has a higher ceiling but this feels like a Kiyomi/WBB situation. Hope it turns out better than that one.

Who did he have 6 matches with? Was he taking classes or just living there and training with the RTC?

Hearing Knox to RU done deal…
It's definitely a possibility but others are definitely trying and some can definitely offer him more $. Remember NIL needs to pass the NIL Go clearinghouse but revenue share $ doesn't

What kind of grades did he have that he couldn’t get in as a prized recruit? Shite I know lax and hockey guys that went Ivy that couldn’t put 3 words together. And SJV doesn’t have the highest academic standards.

Yeah exactly so you can imagine how bad his grades must have been…obviously it’s rumor mill stuff so who knows… but he would not be the first Cornell recruit that couldn’t make it past admissions which is one of the reasons Finger Lakes is so valuable to Grey.

Insiders are saying it’s done deal but there could be negotiating/bidding BS and I won’t believe anything until it’s officially announced.
I'm telling you it's definitely not . I don't care who believes it but he's definitely talking with many teams

Finger lakes is a tool less for academics and more for unlimited redshirt opportunities. It’s merely cover.

Some credits transfer to Cornell and the AG school admissions are slightly lower than other colleges on campus.

Yea I get it. Finger lakes is just a “academic cover” to maintain a semblance of academic integrity. The AG, labor relations and hotel restaurant management programs are the work around to get athletes in. And it has been that way for years. They are the “SUNY” portion of Cornell. B

He could end up at Rutgers but many schools will be making offers
Knox had said he only considered two schools, Cornell and Rutgers, but that was when Pritzlaff, Buxton, and Seabass were here. I can't imagine him joining a failing program without considering the substantial money he'll be offered elsewhere from stronger programs. I wonder what odds Cetta is putting on it.
