HS Recruiting News

What’s the bet? Happy to donate to charity if I lose !!!

I will absolutely bet Plott doesn’t place too 3 — all in good fun. Nothing against Plott at all. Sure he’s a great kid but I just don’t see it happening. Would be glad to be proven wrong.

I still hold that Hamiti, Hendrickson and Amine are better wrestlers — I may have gotten a little carried away with Spratley. I do think Spratley has a better chance of making the finals than Plott. 25 is wide open and all those kids can beat each other.
100 to the charity?

@AtownPoke @oberebo @JAY45 who is the poster that buys Wrestling shoes for kids?
 
Who are the 3 at 184 better than Plott? If you say Carter and keck, I could agree. Who is the third?
I didn’t say anyone was better but you only have to be better once. I also realize it’s often harder to take 3rd than it is to take 1st — and he isn’t taking 1st or 2nd this year. A number of people can beat him to include Allred or Foca.
 
I might agree if Coleman were full time. I'm not certain how much time Coleman spends in Ohio, but it seems like significantly less than 50% of the time.
Think he’s also still helping with a youth club in Stillwater, right? Want to say his wife has posted some stuff from the Stillwater HS wrestling room and about the youth club. Seems like Coleman is enjoying some family time and doing some coaching. He’ll be on staff somewhere soon, but he’s got young kids who JUST moved across the country once.
 
Come on man. The kid is a hair's away from a senior world team as a high school senior. And from what I can see - he's the only wrestler to take down Ono at 61.
Mainly, I wanted him to choose Purdue.

Parity is super productive for a sport that may come under attack with the current climate and I don't really wish on a world were you have a dozen teams competing with only 3-4 being in the mix.

But yes, this likely helps with other studs choosing OSU. It's just not the intent of my comment.

I agree with you in 100% in theory but Coleman being at Ohio State is impacting some kids. Have no idea if it is impacting Jax but it did so with another recruit. OSU got it straightened out but it was a thing.
 
Very bad news for us because he is a National Champ contender his very 1st year in college. We need to move fast from very good recruiting to great recruiting or we have to surpass Penn. St. in developing wrestlers. 2025 we need Jax and or Bo along with Mocco or the Iowa kid at HWT. We also need a great 165 or 174 whichever weight Lockett doesn't wrestle. For the future we probably have 1 wrestler for the future that Penn. St. would want ( Dee). I need to point out that most of these high level recruits were brought in by Coach Smith and his staff. With great development we have several wrestlers that Penn. St. might wish they got ( Hughes, Thompson, Merrill, Robideau and Vega. That is a big "if" but possible.

Same. Wherever he goes, his results will be the same

It’s called sarcasm numbnuts. Anyway idk why you’re so adamant that he’ll never take 3rd. He took 2nd last year.

Insiders are saying he’s waffling on his commit due to a late push from the Brands brothers. @MALOS
What? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Never have I put Blaze and Iowa in the same sentence

I have said I would gladly see Blaze go to PSU if it helps Iowa’s chances with 2 Raney’s and Bassett.

Oh, and I wouldn’t consider myself an Iowa insider unless reading message boards and following Iowa wrestling on my ESPN+/Big Ten phone app makes me one

Foca hasnt done well up at 184 and Allred doesnt have any past accolades that point to him beating Plott outside of a B10 title. Plott majored his way to the NCAA finals last year. I truly hope Plott gets to wrestle Allred at the CKLV because he will beat the dog 💩 out of him.

It seems you have a weird boner for Hamiti and an unexplained dislike for Dustin. Nothing in their careers points to Hamiti being so much better than Plott, not that it matters. With DT working with them we'll see an even better Plott, Hamiti, Amine and Wyatt this year than last.

Bro what??? Allred OR Foca can beat Plott? Based on what data point?

Did Plott fvck your little sister?

Nothing personal with Hamiti and Plott. I don’t dislike Plott at all. I bet he’s a great kid. It’s as simple as me saying I don’t think he places top 3. I think Hamiti is the best wrestler on the team and has the best chances to make the finals. Don’t add words to my mouth or read more into what I write.

But you can have an opinion that Plott will beat Allred but I can’t say I think he is one of several people that can beat him. Berge all but had him beat as a true freshman, Foca beat him more than once in college, he lost to Keck several times — but I can’t say I don’t “think” he will place top 3.

I hope I am wrong but I just don’t think I am

It’s funny you’ve been humiliated on the Hawkeye board for lying and now you need to come over here for support.

Foca has been Plott in college if that counts as a data point.
 
Think this might be of interest to you guys when it comes to Jax's recruitment ....

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Support? What? Like this is Posters Anonymous?

Foca and Plott have taken pretty clear divergent paths since that match in 2023. Had you made this point last year -
