You need to go back to civics class lmfao.
Recruiting….
- Thread starter Lightweight87
- Start date
Lol. Koooooool aaaaaaaideOur resident socialist with the quick deflection!
Seems strange that big Fred was unaware that S32 weighins operated that way given that the kids had only wrestled in about 8 of them before and also in many, many other PA wrestling tournaments with the same weigh in rules like Tyrant, Waterway, Ultimate Club, etc. Anyone have an idea what spurred this change?

2 years ago. Last year they went out to California and Hontz is taking them there again this year.
Don’t know if anyone saw WNO; but, that Paul Kenny and Grey Burnett match was not reassuring… the gap has widen a lot between those two. At one point, Kenny beat him and the script has flipped greatly.
Is Kenny not big enough for 133? Are there any concerns? Sammy Sanchez looked really good…

I was very excited for the match, but dang...
Definitely not the outcome I was expecting.
I think:
2023 freestyle: Kenny 5–3 Burnett (U17 WTT, best of 3)
2023 freestyle: Kenny 7–2 Burnett. (U17 WTT, best of 3)
2025 folkstyle: Burnett 4–2 Kenny (2025 Ironman finals at 126)
2026 freestyle: Burnett 6–1 Kenny (2026 U20/23 WTT)
2026 folkstyle: Burnett 13–1 Kenny (last week)
I expect things can change next year when each wrestler gets in their new environment with new coaches and partners.
Yup, little does Cael know, got Burnett right where we want him....
Joking aside if this is a McDonough vs Oliver type match where one is eventually a 125 and the other 149 then I can rationale this in my doomsday bunker.
I’m pretty sure that dude was the booking agent for the band, Baboon Ranch back in the day.
Sorry if I’ve missed it, but do we know who the main guys are that we’re zeroed in on for 2028? And any late 2027 flip candidates?
You've missed nothing.
It's just that we're set for both 2027 and 2028 barring some out-of-nowhere recruit that either has a big jump, or a recruit decommits.
I would go after Heeg Sanchez O'Neill Hutcherson Dube Wenrich Solis Tovar you gotta keep adding talent

Really hope we heavily recruit the guys you mentioned.
If we don’t get at least 3 of those guys, the gap will continue to widen.
I added Hutcherson as well I always forget he's a JR he's been around so long it seems
Are there any that we have a good shot with? Or some heavy leans or ties with us ?
Looking at the list at least 5 have been in town training in the past
I'm a dumbazz. You're not wrong.
I don't get the love affair for Hutcherson. Definitely want Sanchez.
He's a big kid who can wrestle. Still has 2 years of HS and hes been wrestling the big kids at a young age and having success. He's gonna be good
I go back and forth on my opinion on Hutcherson but tend to agree with you that he's going to be good.
He's been 15-16 years old wrestling the 18-19 year olds at upper weights so some losses are expected. His name has been around and talked about for so long people think he should be untouchable. He's still developing and maturing in another year everyone will be saying wow Hutcherson is really good. I have questioned him at times and got caught up in the trap after he takes a loss or 2 as well
We are definitely not set for the 2028 class
no one is set for 2028. Sean Kenny and Freddie are literally the only 2028's committed in the entire class.
Word fumble by me. Just meant that between 2027 and 2028, we're pretty much covered.
BUT.... It's a new world. We have to keep recruiting the best guys every year and let it play out.
My wants - Sanchez, Heeg, Solis
i know....wasn't a shot at you brother.
just saying it's wide open and a weird year with the rules changing.

Out of all the recruits in 2028, who do we have a best shot with? Or, who do you think we should target that fits our lineup needs and would do good here?
With the unknown of Ludington, Hutcherson would be a must get to compete with Ludington at 197lb and after he is gone.
What's the thoughts on the young Mocco? How do we fit him in with his brother at HWT?
Go watch Hutcherson at Elite 8 Duals a few weeks ago. He dominated and took #1 Carini to the wire in OT. Heeg was a monster at Elite 8 as well.
O'Neill is not a real fit at PSU and really don't fit their style. He is very very tight with Bachmanns
Ludington was the number one 190 in his class and a top 15 p4p. All he needs is a little development which is like pulling teeth with this staff
If he's looking to start for 5 years he probably doesn't come to Iowa but the family is tight time will tell
