...pride, accomplishment and confidence without arrogance.........most unusual for anyone, especially the young.............must be the company he routinely keeps...........best to all.............rs
Jax: "I was [in Stillwater] 10 days before the Open and the way I was wrestling, the techniques I was hitting, the strategies, was stuff I learned in the past 10 days. Not only the coaches, but also the partners, like going with Daton. Me and Daton are really really close. He's one of my favorite people on this Earth. On top of that Roman, and Joey, and all the coaches."
How can you not be so excited about the future of Cowboy Wrestling.
Sounds like he developed quite nicely for only 10 days in Stillwater
Didn't realize it before, but after getting injured, Daton went and coached Ronnie (maybe some others too?). He even had to hobble up and down the stairs of the elevated platform. I think that really speaks to his character and his dedication to those around him. Hats off to Fix 🫡

Flo just came out with their latest P4P top 20 and OK State has 6 recruits in the top 20 including Jax Forrest #1. Lockett is #5, Robideau is #9, Vega is #11, Routledge is #16 and Dreshaun Ross is #20. The future is looking bright Orange!
You're going to have a very strong team in a couple years.
Willie just came out with his “June 15th” class of 2027 top 150 rankings. Who do we anticipate OSU pursuing? I imagine Villasensor but any others that come into this process as a ‘lean’ much like Jax was in his recruitment? @smalls103
I would like Melvin Miller. But I guess Iowa have him in wraps .
I'm a big fan of Grajeda, I think he's going to be great. He gave Vega a real tough match this past season at Doc B if I remember right.
I felt it was odd that Dee didn't get a bump after winning the US Open. I guess Bo was the only one to jump, but nonetheless, Dee won, Bo didn't.
I’ve seen people say that our 27 class might be smaller due to size of the 25 and 26 classes and the roster limits
I don’t think this is only pay walled information but Willie mentioned his #5p4p Israel Borge (144lb) is moving to Stillwater for school.
Borge now up to #11 overall on their 2027 Big Board. Looks like he beat their previous #8 Dean Anderson (now #12) pretty good at the NHSCA. Grajeda was previously #5 and now #13. Those three are all at 138 currently
Borge teched Anderson in a dominating victory 20 to 4. He looked very good on his feet, lots of takedowns and good neutral defense also.

Quite a list of accomplishments on Borge’s track profile. Bad dude.
This is normal. You can only recruit so many people given roster limits.
Don't despair. I'd much rather have Dee than Bo long term.
Dee is a stud and has lot of potential. I am happy to have him. But getting Bo was not just about getting Bo. It’s about all the exposure of his social media and fans, and getting his brother and Melvin too.
Given all that, still happy we got Dee. And hoping we can flip Bo.

No worries. Better than he is leaning elsewhere. DT will put the work and get his commitment.
Our recruiting will only get better as the years go on. That is hard to believe because we are already top-tier. Even our women’s club has benefited from the success of our university and RTC. Obviously, there will be dips but so does every program.
I’ve got a few reasons but I’ll start with this one. I think he’s a fraud. I also think multiple kids around his age will be better than him sooner than we think. He would be a distraction. Last, he chose iowa. Will enjoy competing against him. Also, don’t want Miller. Landon will destroy him all through college.
I don’t think Landon and Miller will be the same weight in college. I thought Miller was projected to be an upperweight?
A fraud in what sense? This feels needlessly harsh. I would love to have Bo and Melvin. I'm hopeful Melvin will explore his options. He would do great under DT. Landon beat him soundly in folkstyle last time they matched up, but he looked like a new man at the US Open. And like @TheJimReaper said, it's unlikely those two will be the same weight in college.
Then Dee will smash him. Either way, we have better dudes committed already. As for the fraud thing on Bo, I can’t exactly put a finger on it but I think it’s all a front. All for the love of wrestling…oh and a $5m bag. I want no part of someone who committed to freaking iowa.
Your hate for Iowa is pure 🙏
I respect your hate for Iowa but idk how you can blame someone taking a $5 million dollar offer.
