Phil Laux--leaves Wisky for Kirkwood....plans to enroll at Iowa

[SPGroth]

KJ Pilcher (CR Gazette) reports that Wisconsin has released Phil Laux from his letter of intent. He will enroll at Kirkwood with the plans to enroll at Iowa.

Pilcher is reporting that Laux realized that he needed to get stronger. Contemplated his decision for a month or so. Decided that Iowa City was the place to train. Will work out with Pablo Ubasa for a year.

Good stuff. I love when people leave from Wisky for IC. Here's a KCRG article:

Good for Phil, great kid and family! Welcome to the Hawkeye Family!

 

[CraigHawkeye]

Great for the kid BUT Gilman and Clark are going to be tough to beat out!

 

[Gabe]

Welcome Phil. He'll make a great addition to the team. Between him, Gilman and Clark 125/133 should be in good hands and also allow the possibility of Clark to move up to 141 if he grows and is needed at that weight.

Will there be any scholarship money available for him? I read in the KCRG article that Brands said that he would "take care of him". Was just curious if there would be any money available?
