Oh, so he got hurt while training at Iowa City? Sorry, I didn’t know if you meant he got injury training at IC or injured on a trip to go to IC.
I assume these are Willie’s new pfp rankings. Sick of getting out done by ISU recently for guys we actually wanted. How did Sanchez go from #1 to #6? I’m sure he will choose between PSU and OSU anyway. We need upper middle weights to 197. Would love Hutcherson, but seems like he would fit nicely on PSU and osu line up, so probably end up there as well as Howard. Perhaps we have a shot at the Indiana kid who was listed 157 last year and now at 174. Totally agree with Fernandez kid out of Cali at 174, but could replace Angelo at 184.
I think Sammy was ranked well, especially since he’s a huge lean for PSU and it seems like it will be extremely difficult to start there with Sidun and Burnett manning 125-133. Plus, after 5-5, Luke still has 3 more years…
I think your right about anyone from McCort who is highly ranked following Bo and Melvin to Vtech, unless their dream is PSU , even if it means getting paid to sit. It is surprising Howard and Sanchez would want to enter the crowded weights at PSU they would fall into. Unfortunately for us, Mario will fall nicely into their line up at either 197 with Barr leaving, or heavyweight, with only Mirisola x2 there for now.
Where’d you get the info on Sammy being a huge psu lean? Wouldn’t be surprised, I think he’s the #1 guy in the class and would hope we at least attempt to get him.
Did bacon get beat out of the spot or why didn’t he wrestle at the end of the year?
He's close with Aaron Nagao and reps a lot of PSU merch.
I’m sure okyst will give it the college try being much closer to California.
The O’Neills practice a lot with the Bachmanns, so I’m happy to hear that! What weight does he project at?
Asher is at FCA. They have an extremely tough schedule too and 160 is a tough weight for a freshman. Still expected better results but he had a tough match with Zeno Moore at Ironman who was top 5 at his weight I believe. He didn’t place at Ironman or doc b and than at the end of the year idk if he got hurt or got beat out of the spot but I don’t believe he wrestled in the postseason. Still someone to keep an eye out on as I believe he’s close to the Bachmann’s and has been very successful up to this point.
Yeah, he was being coached by Brody Teske, but Brody moved back to Iowa. Again, I may be super wrong, but I don’t see him going anywhere else but PSU. Doesn’t matter how many wrestlers they have waiting in the wings, which we have seen already…
You very well could be right i was curious if Sanchez was the one that worked with Teske or if it was a different guy couldnt remember interesting to see what happens
Going to be interesting to see Joey up at 165! U20 Pan Ams couldn’t come faster, I’m sure a full feed diet will help him with his conditioning.
Howard will be hitting just as big if not worse log jam also, but seems like top 10 guys from his club end up at PSU .
Hope he is growing taller also. Thought he looked smaller than Bassett when they met at 150 twice this year, and everyone is calling Bassett a 141 this year
Wouldn’t say that. It will just be while TnT are here, same as AWA.
As far as KD is concerned, it sounded like he was intentionally trying to instigate a fight. You know TnT aren’t going to back down from a punk like him.
And unfortunately the results are yet another elite club that actively pushes high end wrestlers away from Iowa. At some point it can't always be other people's fault.
Are we in play for Staples? Sounds like Heeg and Howard are definitely no go’s for us. Does Staples still have high ceiling to reach?
You said O’Neills. Are there younger ones coming up that are just as good or better that older brother ?
a great man once said...
You should ask Nagao about that. He’s a huge PSU supporter and raves about his experience. He fit in very well there.And going to PSU has worked out so well for Nago
