"Ono notched three tech falls and one decision victory on his way to the world championship, including a 7-2 victory over top-ranked Penn State commit Marcus Blaze."

Good lord those two will be waging some serious wars in the room!

Hey @GregPickel when you next interview the PSU coaches, would you please ask them if Sanshiro Abe was involved in his recruitment.

Also, what will Ono be studying at PSU? Thanks.

Hey guys, given the way japan has been performing internationally, having a pipeline to Japan ain't a bad thing, is it? 😁 🇯🇵 🥇🏆🏅

A couple weeks ago a poster here said Ono to PSU was on the horizon. Some ridiculed him saying there was no way it would happen. Too much involved in it, they said. To whoever it was that made the post, thanks for the info.

I hope Bo Bassett gets used to Iowa losing to PSU on an annual basis. :);)
Let's be honest, most of the world with access to the Internet or even handwritten correspondence has gotten used to that. Outside of Iowa City of course. I'm not sure what reliable Internet providers exist there.

Totally respectfully, I personally don't give a shizzle. Recruiting is part of the game. I'm sure they recruited Bo Bassett. He didn't just altruistically decide to go to Iowa.
Recruiting talent is the #1 job of anyone in a position of leadership. For as much heat as Franklin takes, his final rankings generally align nearly lock step with his recruiting rankings. The Blue Chip Index is accurate for a reason.

I don't now what the hub bub is. PSU did nothing illegal or morally wrong. The only thing you could point to is recruiting over other kids. It happens in every other sport at a much larger scale because not everyone pans out and they also have bigger budgets...school or NIL wise. It's just the current world we live in.

Here's the match where he obliterated Arujau. So Nolf-like -- the pace, also the hard snaps and attacking the snaps even harder. And that's against a taller/longer guy who was the reigning world champ and the only American who could match RBY's quickness.

He's gonna win and win big.
