Caleb Spires Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Deservedly so. He just keeps getting better and better every month it seems. His ceiling is very, very high. Cosgrove, Steven Sandefer, Westforkwhite and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianawrestler145 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 We could quite possibly witness the greatest Wrestler this state has ever seen. Westforkwhite, QuinnHarris, Sig40 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty11 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Wow he was impressive, very composed for a Freshman. Named OW of Cadet World Team Trials. His weight was stacked. He has so many different attacks and is non stop even against the best high school wrestlers in the country.

bluemonster Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 We haven’t seen the best Jesse Mendez yet. He gets better and better each match, that’s scary good. Yes, I believe he will be the best this state has ever had once it’s all said and done!! Cosgrove, Falcon06, Westforkwhite and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Point is an awesome place and they got a good thing going with great coaches. I really don’t see him leaving that situation. I could be wrong, but don’t see it. I would like to see him go to the OTC for a year after high school for a grey shirt year. That would be awesome! Sky’s the limit for this kid.

But Mendez is already ranked #2 in the nation at his weight class heading into his sophomore year. Every college coach is gonna be licking their chops at the opportunity of landing him.

This is so true. Also... does anybody know what he would like to study? Knowing his family, I can almost guarantee that his academics will play a huge part in his decision. I’m not sure about his grades but I can almost promise you that his dad and mom don’t play! I bet you he picks a school that has excellence in his academic interests. He’s a kid that gets it and can have a great conversation at a young age. I think many times (as wrestling people) we over look that. Super impressive.

I think many times (as wrestling people) we over look that. Super impressive. He should come to ASU. Especially if he has interests in engineering (partnerships with Boeing, Honeywell, and Intel) and business- specifically supply chain management and finance. Some of the better programs in the nation. Also, the wrestling program is on the rise. I'm not biased or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have my fingers crossed his biggest priorities are engineering and proximity to home. And hopefully Purdue has some success in the next few years and gets an enticing coach.

Grenadier2012 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 IU is on the upswing. Angel is a better coach, mentor, motivator, leader, etc. than Goldman ever was so it's trending in the right direction. Mendez could do things at IU that have never been done; the same can't be said for Iowa. Hopefully he sees that as a selling point, but I'll be a fan wherever he goes...in three years.
