Vega looked kinda slow at first but he still dominated and got a 20-4 tech fall over Tahir Parkins.
HS Recruiting News
- Thread starter DEWrestlingFan
- Start date
Landon Robideau (1) and Kollin Rath (2) will be the main event. Should be a good one. Rath skipped his senior year and spent the past year at the Olympic Training Center
Seidel 3rd beat Botello 6th by major. Seidel is a 3 time state champ who Forrest beat for the State Championship this year. Vega won by tech just dominated the 4th rated 138 Parkins. By the end of the match Parkins had been broken. Vega literally gave his ankle to his opponent in the 3rd period and Parkins let go of it right away because Vega scrambled so well all match. Impressive! Vega is rated 3rd at 150 I suppose because his last all star match was at 150.
Can’t wait for these guys to get on campus.
Robideau wins by 10-4 decision over Kollin Rath.
Robideau wins by 10-4 decision over Kollin Rath.
Robideau number 1 won 10 to 4 over number 2 Rath 157. Very impressive the announcers were surprised with the ease of the victory. 3 takedowns to 0 with 2 of them off Rath shots very quick go behind although the 2nd one Rath missed everything was flat on his stomach and an easy go around. Robideau's 1st takedown was at the edge got a leg pulled him in a little and then dove and got the 2nd leg for the takedown, very impressive. Robideau 's defense was very good. We have some great prospects with great development we have some National Champs in this group.
Vega was the Outstanding wrestler for the US. He was dominant.
Harley, I’m not used to all of this positivity from you. I enjoy your posts but this is somewhat frightening to me. 😁
I agree with you that there are several NCs in this class. DT has just got to get them to be NCs at the same time.

Easy to be positive with our recruiting stars impressive wins tonight. Even Johnson wrestled good but couldn't pull off the upset. Our Coaches have a lot to work with the 2025 class especially with Dee, Robideau and Vega. The 2024 class has a potential National Champ with Merrill at 197. Sakamoto could really jump levels with improving in folkstyle and adjusting to a new Country and language. The picture I have of him is to be our 133 for 2 years and then wrestle 125 his last 2 years. I have some hope for the staff to help Hughes 141 and Thompson 184 to jump levels and be All American type wrestlers. Then 2026 we have 2 superstar potential wrestlers coming in, Jax and Ross. Also, some forum members think Wolbert will be real good, I hope so and Rocklin Zinkin. In 2027 we could use 2 super recruits if we are to continue to grow as a Program. Villasenor likely would be 1 of those and he is number 4 in the 2027 class. He does need to get bigger though to be a good sized 125. I don't know who else we could get but it is really early. These guys just finished their sophomore year.

Here's their pre-match interviews. Someone already put the timestamps in the comment section
Any update on Raney twins? Missing out on James sucks. Hope we land Raneys.
Jayden Raney says Greco will play a part in his college choice. Hopefully Fish is helping recruit them!
If Robideau goes as freshman he will be an AA
The Pittsburg matches were very impressive. You do not want to scramble with Vega.
I don't think you're wrong, but at 157 as a RS sophomore in 2028, the only current top20 ranked kids left at the weight will be Cannon and Hipolito. Develop and let Kasak, Shapiro, Taylor, and everyone move on and have a nice run for 3 titles!
Ignore that Bassett probably wrestles at 157 for at least a year or two lol.
Speaking of Vega I saw he is signed up for the 20 and under Nationals at 65kg, Ronnie Ramirez is signed up at 57kg and Ethan Teague will wrestle at 79kg. We have already indicated that Ross is at HWT.
I hate saying this so bluntly but, no. We should want nothing to do with those guys.
They are not good dudes. Couple of things - one of the twins weighed in for the other at the US Open awhile back. Second, my son's high school wrestles at a tournament every year that they attend. Great wrestlers, bad attitudes.
Not down what you have seen, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them at all. I know I hated every wrestler that beat me. Sometimes perception can be contextual. I hope it’s not true. It’s good to see good wrestlers from a not typical wrestling state do well.
I don't think either of them have wrestled any of our kids actually but you have to watch them when you're there. We are too jammed at these weights already anyway.
I actually think that’s hilarious but I understand why it would upset someone
The staff must feel differently. They are recruiting them.
Interesting. I heard DT turned them down. But that was a bit ago and before all of Cael’s bullshit.
I could be wrong. I have zero inside information. But they came in on a visit not long ago. We are always mentioned as a school very much in the hunt for them.
In flow 's latest ratings Ramirez jumped from 6 to 2 at 126. Jax stayed at 1 at 132, Sergio is 3 at 138 previously 3 at 150, Robideau stayed 1 at 157, Guerrero dropped to 9 from 8, Routledge stayed at 6 at 165, Lockett 175 stayed 1, Dreshaun 215 stayed number 2, and Johnson stayed 7 at 215. The pound for pound ratings were: Jax 2, Dee 5, Robideau 9, Vega 11, Routledge 16, Ross 20. We have some talent coming in and Jax and Dreshaun are juniors and Jax will go to 1 next year and Ross could jump to around 3 next year. Great recruiting.

Raney’s are going to be studs. I have never heard of the attitude problem, but since yall don’t want them we’ll take them in Iowa City.
No no we’ll be more than happy to take them on
I insist you let us Hawkeye fans deal with the headache these twins will cause.
Alright let’s negotiate. You get AJ and Anthony, OSU gets the Raneys. Deal?
Too late. Already donated to y’all’s NIL collective earmarked “Sports car acquisition”.
That’s the Angelo retainment fund, the other 2 are UNCs problem.
There is always a desperate coach willing take a chance.
#1 - I am glad he isn't here! I wasn't concerned about it as I thought the ISU move was all but done. But as nothing was getting announced and it kept popping up that we were linked, I began to worry, even though my friends weren't even mentioning it. Everybody is clamoring for a HW (I am good with Doucet, I just have a hunch he hits the podium if healthy) and I think AJ is going up...common sense started lining up the unthinkable.
There was really no way he could come back here. He destroyed our Program and scared people considerably (girls.) I am not accusing him of anything illegal but I am accusing him of wrongdoing.
#2 - I really hope he is sincere with his maturation and change. There are little kids that look up to him and he has the ability to affect the lives of people. It is best for the sport if he affects them in a positive way. I am just glad he is doing it away from here.
