    Final X

    Jax makes a living out of exposing other wrestlers bad shots and positioning. His slide by is the best in the world IMO, but Blaze didn’t give him a shot. These guys will be fun to watch the next few years.

    '26 Final X, 6/19, thread

    When Jax’s slide by is neutralized he becomes a mortal wrestler. Blaze is the perfect style to match him, especially when he opens up his offense.

    Penn State Tuesday takes: On Bo Bassett's re-newed recruitment, the Lions' football roster update, and more

    Spot on. He's managed rosters with multiple generational superstars, navigating through crowded line-ups. I think he can certainly manage Bo Bassett and family.

    He has far better training partners in his parents basement between Jax and Melvin vs. any middleweight on Pitt’s roster.

    PSU Recruiting Thread

    From what I’ve been seeing, this was specific to lack of access to train with the HWC. If that’s the case, and this is about development opportunities this next year I don’t think Pitt solves that problem. Nebraska has a better room, but good luck popping out to Lincoln to train for the...

I saw Cael’s son wrestle at youth states last year and the year prior as my youngest was wrestling there...

    He’s been dominating this year and seems to have really jumped levels (I’m sure his access to coaching and partners helps 😀). The kid that he beat in the finals and TF’d at regionals last week is legit.

    PSU Recruiting Thread

    I’m pretty surprised it wasn’t Okla St. To be honest he never seemed super warm to PSU for some reason…if he wants to rebuild a legacy this certainly isn’t the place to do that. Iowa and Brands track record of developing elite level wrestlers (meaning multiple NCAA titles and senior world team...

    It will be interesting. IMO - if you are looking to truly achieve greatness on the international stage there are 2 options, one that’s proven (Penn State) and one that’s a potential possibility (Oklahoma State). Iowa and the Brands have shown no ability to do this - I would argue the Lee got...
