Both are very intelligent from what I know, but have some issues. They are originally from Ohio or something around there, before they were recruited...yes recruited to Clarion. It will be interesting to see where they end up.

Were they recruited there? I had heard their dad got a job at Hagie Sprayers and that was the reason for the move but that was probably 5th hand info. It doesn't really matter...I'm just curious.

I am sure there is interest in the Portillo boys. I don't think Jon Marmolejo is going to be able to make 125 many more years. I suppose it depends if they want to sit a year. If that is the case, they need to transfer in December, so they would be available for 2nd semester next year.

If Bono doesn't release them and they transfer is the scholarship money allocated to them tied up during that time even though it is not being used?

On the road...

He did not get a job there first. He worked as cook at the little country club outside of town. The club team in Clarion is having a big impact on current student athletes. I've been gone for a bit, but I have no idea who half the kids on the team are or where they came from.

That is definitely not true. They were incentivized to move there.

So assuming he wouldn't get a full release to ISU, he would be eligible second semester next year?

Would be a good get even if we have something else in the works at 125.

Not exactly sure.
I think they are originally from Ohio. That might be Ohio U connection


Yes, they came from Ohio.

IMO, the brothers need to go different directions. They are both 125 guys and many schools won't want to always have a pair and will give close to the same money for one or both.
