I listened to Flo's who's number 1 show and they had talked to Angelo Ferrari who had told them his recruitment was open and he wasn't for certain going to Oklahoma State. He likes Minnesota , Oklahoma, Rutgers, North Carolina, Arizona State and Oklahoma State. He wants to be recruited which you can't blame him. Oklahoma State is the favorite of course. Cael Hughes and Jersey Robb are listed for Fargo. Also Lockett, Roller and Voinovich are listed for Fargo. A Ferrari is not listed for Fargo. Someone reported that Beric Jordan is coming to Stillwater high. He is listed at number 1 at 106 as a junior( this coming year). He does need to grow to be a top recruit.Is there any new recruiting rumors or news out there that is looking good for the program?
Fix took his trips even though he was a lock to be a cowboy. Never know exactly how much other schools have to offer for a talent like Angelo. I’d assume he’s going to be the #1 PFP recruit his Senior year. He’ll probably be pretty close to that for his Junior year. He’s a bona fide stud.Although I respect Angelo for keeping his options open and making the best decision for himself I sure hope that decision is to follow his brothers in Stillwater. The kid is going to be a beast and with LaDarion Lockett in the 2025 class that would make 2 potential NC in our upper weights.
Jersey Robb, Cael Hughes are in the round of 32 in juniors. Lockett is in the quarterfinals for cadets. All have won by tech falls.Fix took his trips even though he was a lock to be a cowboy.

Kody Routledge came back and beat Gaj from Penn. and is in the cadet finals at 145. Lockett has been impressive also getting in the finals at 152.Recruiting rumor: A poster on the PSU board who claims to know about the recruitment of Cody Chittum says he expects Chittum to commit to OSU now that the Ferraris are gone. I believe Chittum has been the #1 recruit in 2023 but has reclassified to 2022. He has already been committed to Iowa and Minnesota up to this point.

I'll be in the minority on this, but I disagree. I don't think Chittum is a can't miss prospect - someone you get and everyone else has to fit around him. It would not surprise me at all if Voinovich & Williams end up having better careers.You take Chittum regardless of who else is wherever.
I agree I think a large part of his success is his age and physical maturity in high school. But if the improvement keeps happening he could develop well in college.I'll be in the minority on this, but I disagree.

I would like to have Chittum even though we have Voinovich and Williams and on top of that I believe the cant-miss wrestler we have to have is Ladarion Lockett. He is the best prospect I have seen since Fix and he is at 152 now and is tearing up the U16 at Fargo. He has not had a close match and is in the finals today. He not only has all the moves but he is the first wrestler lately that I have seen that will use them all on one takedown attempt. He does not stop until he gets it. He is the true meaning of chain wrestling.I agree I think a large part of his success is his age and physical maturity in high school.

Horrible morning with Hughes losing a 4 to 0 lead in the second period because twice he got himself into throw situations with an opponent who is looking to throw and got thrown for 2 and then 4 points. Worse was Robb leading 7 to 2 with 30 seconds left and gave up a takedown by not hand fighting and letting the opponent get in tight and then gut wrenched twice. The Hughes got tech falled by a South Dakota kid and Hughes is out of the tournament.I would like to have Chittum even though we have Voinovich and Williams and on top of that I believe the cant-miss wrestler we have to have is Ladarion Lockett.

It's nice to know we can count on you.Horrible morning with Hughes losing a 4 to 0 lead in the second period because twice he got himself into throw situations with an opponent who is looking to throw and got thrown for 2 and then 4 points.

On his Instagram page he posted that he committed to Minnesota in June ‘21. Has something changed since then?Recruiting rumor: A poster on the PSU board who claims to know about the recruitment of Cody Chittum says he expects Chittum to commit to OSU now that the Ferraris are gone.

Heeg just made the finals of Junior Nationals @ 182. There was a post in May on the OU board (by an insider) that OSU was going to flip an OU recruit soon. He didn't give a name.Heegs moving to Stillwater cause any changes in his recruiting?

I haven't seen any signs that Heeg will flip, but he would be a very good pickup.
Hopefully. Heeg also had some good wins at Junior Duals so his stock is definitely on the rise.You would think being in the Stillwater program and being in and around our room will give him something to think about.
Heegs is the only OK wrestler that made it to the finals to be wrestled today. Garrett Wells at 182 is wrestling for 5th and Layton Schneider at 138 is also wrestling for 5th.Heegs moving to Stillwater cause any changes in his recruiting?
The good(or bad) thing about the portal is that it can change at any moment. 5 NCAA champs could enter today. There are no longer rules.I may be super late to the party but, did you guys know that wrestlestat has an unofficial transfer portal? You have to sign up (it’s free) looking through the names I can’t say I’m super excited about any of the current available athletes.
I think Heeg moving to Stillwater is a pretty clear sign he could flip. That news is new to me though. But the real question is does Coach Smith really want to take a chance on another AJ?? Lol!Heeg just made the finals of Junior Nationals @ 182. There was a post in May on the OU board (by an insider) that OSU was going to flip an OU recruit soon. He didn't give a name.

Initially I thought the OU poster might be referring to KJ Evans because Joe Smith was recently named head coach at Heritage Hall. After the Stillwater transfer was announced, I figured he was referring to Heeg. I do know that Heeg's dad tweets the OU coaches a lot, so obviously nothing about flipping has been communicated yet.I think Heeg moving to Stillwater is a pretty clear sign he could flip.

If it is, uO Football is in major trouble.With Smith stating at HH it brings a question to my mind. Is it an NCAA violation for a High School coach to encourage his wrestlers to go to a particular university?
NCAA seems to have a double standard with premier big money sports programs like North Carolina basketball and power house football teams.If it is, uO Football is in major trouble.
Wrassler, I didn't know how serious he was considering Oklahoma State. But here is my concern, after the terrible blow our Program has taken the leaders of the Wrestling Program have to find or do something that will excite the fan base quickly to try and get some momentum going our way again. A big commitment or 2 could get that done. We will see how our leadership responds but based on the last 15 years I have great doubt about our response.Chittum to Iowa
