Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School college bound ks seniors

Does Anyone Know Where Evon Royal is going?

Husker Fan,

Brandon Vasquez signed and mailed his letter of intent to Coach Renfro at LCC yesterday. Thanks for everything.

Lars Lueders
Dodge City High School Head Wrestling Coach

Coach Lueders, I appreciate the confirmation. I will take Brandon off the pending confirmation status on the list.

Thank you.

Joey Dozier signed with FSHU today..

What high school did Joey wrestle at and did he place at State so I can make special mention of that if he did?

I will try to get a confirmation from the Fort Hays State coach. I prefer to have these confirmations before I put someone on the list so I do not list someone as incorrectly committed to a school.

Mr. Dozier was the 145lb. 6A state Champion from Garden City. 3rd his Jr. year. 4th as a Sophmore. He should be a great addition to FHSU.

Mr. Moeder,

Thank you for the kind words. We are very excited about this opportunity!

Just received this private message from Newman University:

WICHITA - The Newman wrestling team has received letters of intent from Greg Delk and Steven Cooksley, head coach Ryan Smith announced Wednesday. Cooksley is a two-time captain at Topeka's Seaman High School, and finished third at the Kansas 5A State Championships, while Delk is the captain of the Skiatook (Okla.) High School squad, and is a three-time Oklahoma state championship placer.

Steven Cooksley (Topeka, Kan. - Seaman HS)
Cooksley will join the Jets after a successful career at Seaman High School in Topeka, Kan., where he posted a 96-36 career record. A two-time placer at the Kansas 5A State Championship, Cooksley finished sixth in the 189 lb. weight class in 2009, and capped his high school career with a third place state finish in 2010. He was honored for his achievements by being named a First Team All-City selection in both 2009 and 2010.

Exciting news about two of our Kansas High School Seniors 2010 Joey Dozier and Steven Cooksley who have been reported to be wrestling next year at two of our fine Kansas universities that offer college wrestling programs. Congratulations to both of these wrestlers and to Fort Hays State University and Newman University.

stling next year at two of our finest Kansas universities that both have four year college wrestling programs.

Evon Royal (4-time state qualifier, 3rd in 2009, state runner-up 2010) will be signing with Dana College today. Great Kid and I wish him the best!

Cody and Dillon Wildin from Marion High School are signing with Pratt this friday at 1:00. There will be something in the Free Press.

This sounds great. I am going to try to get a confirmation from Evon's high school coach or the Dana College coach, so it might be a day or two before I include Evon on the list.

This also sounds very good but again I will try to get a confirmation from their high school coach or the Pratt coach first before putting Cody and Dillon on the list. I will get to work on those confirmations.

I received word today from their high school coach that two former Wichita Heights High School wrestlers are signing with Pratt Community College. Christian Duckens 2010 State Qualifier, and Dondre Davis Class of 2009 and 2009 State Placer after a year off are both planning to sign to wrestle for Pratt Community College next year.

Congratulations and good luck to both of you in your academics and wrestling in college next year.

Please let me know if any of the above information is incorrect and needs to be changed or if any additions or deletions need to be made to the above list. On additions it helps if I receive a confirmation by posting or private message from the wrestler, a parent, high school coach or college coach. Also it helps if I can get any accomplishments like state championships, state placing or qualifying, league titles so I can make special mention of that in the announcement with the listing. A link to a newspaper article of the signing is also a good confirmation source. Thank you.

LOL...I am one of his coaches.

I am the head coach at Marion High School. I am new to the board but my name is Chad Adkins.

Chad,

Thank you that is the type of confirmation that I need. I will update the list tonight for your two wrestlers inclusion on the list. Congratulations to you and them.

Coach if you will send me a private message with your name or post it on this topic I will confirm Evon tonight also.

I have also sent a request into Coach Vest at Dana last night.

I do not mean to be difficult but last year I did a list update on a wrestler off of a post from a poster who did not leave their name and it proved to be incorrect. I do not want to list anyone as committed to wrestle unless they are since I know there are some college coaches who read this list last year and we do not want them to lose interest in possibly recruiting one of our wrestlers.

I really do appreciate your input. I just want to be careful so please just send me a private message confirmation that you are one of Evon's coaches. Thanks.

I have received confirmation on Evon from both the Hutchinson head coach and the Dana Head Coach so I will definitely also update Evon on the list tonight. Thank you.

I am President Obama and I am providing a $900 trillion dollar stimulus package so that all kids that wrestled in HS, can wrestle at any D1 school of their choice.
