Dee Lockett #3
Landon Robideau #7
Sergio Vega #8

Sure would be nice to see Correa up there in between Robideau and Vega or Vega and Routledge!

 

[Pennstate1985]

Excellent class for 25. That has to be the 2nd best recruiting class.

 

[tom_v31]

I think too little is made of the pickup of Kody Routledge. The kid is #15 pound-for-pound.

I would have to agree. 5 of the top 6 came in after DT came on board. In most years, that would be a #1 class easily

The guys on FRL said that the flip of Vega moved us to #1. Cornell had been #1

100%

I think people have a slightly underwhelming view of him because he’s a late bloomer and John didn’t want him. He also didn’t blow people away at Fargo. The kid has been jumping levels by leaps and bounds though and I think he’s a future hammer

I guess I’m one of those who has a underwhelming view as I’m pretty surprised how high Kody is on this P4P. Given his resume I would have expected him to be somewhere in the 30-40 range. I might just be hung up on all of his losses to Kael Voinovich which were over a year ago, but at the same time, he did not look great against a sophomore Melvin Miller just earlier this summer—the same guy who we saw Robideau manhandle while wrestling up a weight at WNO. If he has jumped levels, it’s not showing in the results yet.

He’s obviously very good, it just seems that he’s a tier below Dee, Vega, and Robideau right now.

That’s all fair. My point is that the kid wasn’t even a finalist for state his fr or soph year. Hes absolutely a late bloomer and has come on a lot quickly. He also lost a one takedown match to Miller who ended up being the champ and is the #1 ranked soph in the country. Villasenor just beat Dom and then lost to an 8th grader at super 32. These young kids are way ahead.

And it’s a good point on Landon. I think he’s as good as #1 right now. He’s the steal of the class imo.

I think most of this group, besides obviously Dee, are all late bloomers. I love it. You can tell this staff has done their research. Wrestling is a difficult sport and burnout and injury is a real thing.

I think we are 1 unless Blaze goes to PSU or maybe Cornell.

 

[oklahomaglory]

Any info on where Blaze is heading? I would love him at OSU of course, but its been said PSU is the leader for some time now.

Very unlikely us. PSU/tOSU front runners is what I’ve heard randomly but he’s been keeping it pretty quiet

 

[Pennstate1985]

60/40 PSU. tOSU has relationship. PSU has culture.

I should add that both schools have each "thing", but the emphasis is what I wrote.

 

[cearle462]

I’ll be shocked if it’s not PSU.

 

[OSUBigBadBob]

I’ll be shocked if it’s not PSU.

Get that devil outta you! Pray for tOSU at least!

 

[DEWrestlingFan]

I really respect what Blaze is doing. No one has a clue. This kid is wrestling great wherever he wrestles at, and that is what he is focused on. Wrestling! Looking forward to see him no matter what school he ends up at. And can not wait to see him on the International scene.

 

[Okie_Pat]

He wants to stay close to home. Don't count Purdue out just yet.

 

[TheJimReaper]

Be awesome from a parity standpoint

 

[AtownPoke]

I hate to say it but I think we’ll all be very unhappy.

 

[Air_Thurman]

I don't know anything but at this point there doesn't seem to much reason to have optimism when it comes to Blaze.

 

[chasepollard]

I don't think we get him either. Too much chatter...

Honestly, I hope he goes anywhere but PSU or Iowa. He puts a decent team into the discussion at Nationals and Wrestling needs some parity.

 

[Fatty J]

What are our chances with Jax Forrest?

 

[OSUMatFan]

No idea, but I think he and Beau Basset are coming to Stillwater soon..

 

[TheJimReaper]

What are our chances with Jax Forrest?

I think we’ve been considered the favorite for a while now. That was partly because of his relationship with Coleman tho. Still think he’s really close with Zo and he seems to be good friends with Dee. Plus you know, DT.

Like others have said though If our wrestlers jump levels and we perform at nationals the flood gates could open.

 

[tom_v31]

I would like to see him go to Lehi. I believe he lives close to them, (if he doesn’t come to us that is).

 

[chasepollard]

What are our chances with Jax Forrest?

50/50 at best I think.

We were the favorite, but I am not sure that is the case anymore?

 

[AtownPoke]

What are our chances with Jax Forrest?

I think we’re right in there but nothing is guaranteed. I think Ohio St is pushing hard and PSU is PSU.

 

[proud2bpokes]

If not OSU, then it has to be Purdue for Blaze. We don’t talk much about the young core of wrestlers OhSt has:

125-McCrone - So Ranked #17
Kilkeary R-Fr

133-Bouzakis So #15
Davino Fr

141-Mendez Jr w/ a RS available #2

149/157-Maddox Shaw -HS-Sr

157/165-Vince Bouzakis- HS-Sr

174-Welsh So w/ a RS available #3

184-Rogotzki So w/ a RS #18

197-Geog So #11
Shumate So

285-Feldman So #3

These are just guys with 2 or more years left after this year. They have 3 or 4 guys that could be finalists this year plus 125 is liable to be a wild weight again. If their lineup holds and talented guys like Rogotzki get their footing, they could have 6 or 7 guys with finalist potential in 2 years with Blaze in their lineup as a So or R-Fr.

Whoa there Cowboy. I thought we was friends. I'm okay if you get Jax. Be happy if we get Blaze. I agree on Iowa lol.

 

[Pennstate1985]

Is it because of a late push by tOSU and PSU, or did Jax have a connection with someone on the old staff and that may have impacted things a little?

 

[chasepollard]

Haha, I short typed that.

I’d rather him not be at a front runner, including OSU (unless he really wants to be here haha.)

 

[Air_Thurman]

Coleman was the original link to OSU. I think he was a borderline lock at one point.

 

[Pennstate1985]

I would like to see him go to Lehi. I believe he lives close to them, (if he doesn’t come to us that is).

Actually Blaze lives near Toledo. Lehigh is in far eastern PA. A solid 8 hour drive. I was under the impression that the family would love for him to be within driving distance. Purdue, tOSU, Mich, and PSU fit the bill. PSU being the furtherest at 5 hours.

I should add that Blaze spends a lot of time at the tOSU RTC, and if he doesn't select them, he may feel that he will be effectively losing those strong connections or at least damage them.

 

[Howie_Fartz]

Word is Jax and Bo are coming Nov 22 to our first home dual against Wyoming. Really hoping we see 10,000 people or more in the stands creating an environment that will hopefully sway them our direction!

That will be homecoming weekend too right?

Not sure.

Not sure.

Just checked. Unfortunately not. Homecoming is November 2nd. We do have a home game against taco tech on the 23rd tho.

It would be nice if the football team played well just in case that is something that is important to them... but I'm not counting on it

Haha, Gundy is the Jack Spates of Football in Oklahoma.

I say we keep them away from the Football game.
