He should be redshirted to adjust to folkstyle. He projects as a 133/141.Where does Sakamoto fit in next year? Does anyone have any video on this kid? I can not find anything besides having to pay on Flo.

Heeg won a Minnesota state championship as an 8th grader at 133 lbs.He also lost to Tank Heeg who is talented but still just an 8th grader. Tank placed 10th at the Cheesehead.
He was never finishing in the top 4 that’s wishful thinking and fans getting ahead of themselves let’s don’t be like Iowa fan and think we should have 10 in the finalsHe wasnt supposed to beat Caliendo?
O’toole, yeah, that’s a buzz saw that I didn’t expect him to win. But he’s clearly not Wrestling as strong as he was during the first half.
Either way, I feel he has a strong chance to AA top 4…not sure how you take my comment as a slight? He went from possible finalist in many discussions to dismissal as a finalist, but still a threat to beat anyone not named O’toole.
I wouldn't say "never" it's possible but he will have to wrestle his absolute best to do it, the weight is just a meat grinderHe was never finishing in the top 4 that’s wishful thinking and fans getting ahead of themselves let’s don’t be like Iowa fan and think we should have 10 in the finals
Does anyone remember what he’s ranked? I remember he dominates pretty much everybody.
I don’t think he is top 100Does anyone remember what he’s ranked? I remember he dominates pretty much everybody.
He is a good high school wrestler but seems to man handle kids instead of out technique them.does not wrestle year round or in out of state tournaments out of season.I think if he gets dedicated he is naturally strong and can become solid but does have a temper and can be hot headed.
I don’t know that he “lives” wrestling enough to ever be more than a practice guy.
I think he was 215 this yearHe isn’t in Flo’s high school rankings. Class of ‘25 190 lber
Who care if he is in flo rankingI think he was 215 this year
285 Jude Correa Kingston, PA (Wyoming Seminary) DEC Kruz Goff Blackwell, OK (Blackwell), 3-1 TB2 FLO Has Correa # 2 so where does this put Goff TB #2 lose these guys don’t know guys that don’t go to Fargo, elite duals,super 32 They don’t know anything about the other kids that’s why there not college coaches .It is not there job so take the flo rankings for what there worthWho care if he is in flo ranking
Someone asked if he was ranked and I just said he wasn't ranked in Flo's HS rankings.285 Jude Correa Kingston, PA (Wyoming Seminary) DEC Kruz Goff Blackwell, OK (Blackwell), 3-1 TB2 FLO Has Correa # 2 so where does this put Goff TB #2 lose these guys don’t know guys that don’t go to Fargo, elite duals,super 32 They don’t know anything about the other kids that’s why there not college coaches .It is not there job so take the flo rankings for what there worth

Well I think Robb is supposed to be the future at 184 and Thompson is/was supposed to stay at 174.Coaches got a line on a 74 when Plott is gone and Thompson goes up? I havent kept up to much with the recruits? Portal maybe? Maybe as early as next year if BT wants to shirt?
Pretty sure Thompson wants to go up. Like 100%. Having two guys battling for the spot is exactly what we need though.Well I think Robb is supposed to be the future at 184 and Thompson is/was supposed to stay at 174.
Can we morph them into one guy please. Thompson talent with Robb effort hahaPretty sure Thompson wants to go up. Like 100%. Having two guys battling for the spot is exactly what we need though.
If Robb could scramble and have takedown defense like BT he'd be crazy tough. I love offensive guys though. The mindset has to be looking to score as many points possible in every position.Can we morph them into one guy please. Thompson talent with Robb effort haha
Well, I’ll agree with that one guy is bigger one guy, faster, one guy stronger one guy lives his life, right one guys discipline may the best man win. Hopefully in another year they will both have this.If Robb could scramble and have takedown defense like BT he'd be crazy tough. I love offensive guys though. The mindset has to be looking to score as many points possible in every position.
Would he be named Brayden Robb or Jersey Thompson?Can we morph them into one guy please. Thompson talent with Robb effort haha
Reminds me of the discourse a few years back about Keegan Moore And Andrew Marsden. Marsden was really talented offensively but gave up his legs too easily and Moore had great defense but hardly ever shot. If they could’ve been one wrestler they’d have been amazing.Can we morph them into one guy please. Thompson talent with Robb effort haha
Ya but Keegan Moore ended up being an ultra douche too hahaReminds me of the discourse a few years back about Keegan Moore And Andrew Marsden. Marsden was really talented offensively but gave up his legs too easily and Moore had great defense but hardly ever shot. If they could’ve been one wrestler they’d have been amazing.
How much does this kid weigh? How tall is he? He didn't look like a HWT from the picture. I watched some of his matches from Fargo. He's very physical. Needs a lot of work on technique and conditioning based on those matches anyway.
You are correct.Very raw with plenty of athletic ability.Does not wrestle much outside of the school season.With a high level of coaching and dedication on his end he has upside but doubt he is more than a room guy.How much does this kid weigh?

I watched McComas's match at Pittsburg won in overtime riding out his opponent and getting an escape. Not much offense. He won 2 to 1.You are correct.Very raw with plenty of athletic ability.Does not wrestle much outside of the school season.With a high level of coaching and dedication on his end he has upside but doubt he is more than a room guy.
Idk about chances but would be silly to not try.What is the chance we can land Bo Bassett? I know he is a PSU lock, just wondering if we can get Jax and Bo as a package. We need to put on full court press to both. Send all big guys.
Bo Basset appears to be a lock to PSU, but they have one hurdle to overcome.What is the chance we can land Bo Bassett? I know he is a PSU lock, just wondering if we can get Jax and Bo as a package. We need to put on full court press to both. Send all big guys.
I agree but we have to get even more.PSU keeps getting more hammers and there have been many threads the last 10 years predicting championship lineups that have not panned out.Imagine having Carroll, Merrill, Lockett and Forrest all in our starting lineup. We are 3/4th the way there. '26-'27 you could see all of them in the starting lineup and that would include guys like Spratley, Jamison and Williams who would all be seniors and Hughes who would be a junior. That could be a championship team right there.
Merrill will have to prove he's the tiny exception to the hw height rule before we put him in that category.Imagine having Carroll, Merrill, Lockett and Forrest all in our starting lineup.

That team probably would at least be competitive with Penn State. Merrill will need to prove a kid as short as he is can compete for a Hwy title though.Imagine having Carroll, Merrill, Lockett and Forrest all in our starting lineup. We are 3/4th the way there.

That team would at least make it interesting, but PSU will be hard to beat without bracket help for the foreseeable future.That team probably would at least be competitive with Penn State. Merrill will need to prove a kid as short as he is can compete for a Hwy title though.
