Coby is a beast, just like his brother. I bet everyone on here would love two Merrill's in the lineup! The Class of 26 has a really good HWT class!

Can’t hire him for the RTC job. That’s illegal.
CAN hire him for a university job.
What is the difference? Hope this doesn’t come across as snarky I’m genuinely curious because I figured RTCs would actually have fewer rules than universities.
Honestly? It makes no sense to me. But looked it up to be sure.
But yeah. You can hire immediate family for university positions. But RTCs are a no-go.
Might have more to do with - if you hire them for university and they mess up - the university can held responsible/liable with enforceable penalties.
Wild. Would have figured RTCs had no rules but here we are. Stricter than the NCAA?
That doesn't make sense. University anti-nepotism policy. Whats the RTC policy?
Right? Then how’d we have fix?
Who ever it will be, you can expect it to:
1. Slightly surprise us
2. Be flying a little under the radar
3. Make us say, “didn’t quite see that coming.”
4. Also say, “that’s not too bad. I like it.”
5. Have a wrestler that has upside.
6. Have a wrestler heading into his peak.
I don't know what to tell you. I thought it was illegal to hire immediate family to university positions. I KNOW it's illegal to hire immediate family for RTC positions.
It changed after Nate Carr was hired as the RTC coach at Iowa State. Which... at least he had the freaking bonafides where the hire didn't seem like just a recruiting benefit.
It is NOT illegal to hire family/individuals close to recruits. It did use to be a rule in 2017. but changed in 2021, with the NCAA "loosening" the rules around it. They're basically leaving it up to the individual schools to police hires.
