Dates of camp?

Napier Bethany?

There is a link to the flier. May 30 - June 2. Just heard a rumor on CJ ;-)

I don't think the recruiting trips are finished yet...NAIA is too small of a stage for such a big hitter.

No offense to the NAIA guys.

Some may have said the same thing about a Joe Cornejo too, but he wound up NAIA. Is Napier even looking at going back to wrestle in college, and if so I have now read on here that he is at Labette and see Bethany listed.

Fair enough point, but NCAA eligibility requirements for a 4-2-4 competitor are a different scenario than someone competing at the DI level and transferring to another four year. NAIA doesn't have near the requirements to be eligible. Taking classes at a school near his home town is different than wrestling there, although that may be a possibility.
