Jax Announcement Tomorrow
- Thread starter mcpat
- Start date
Secondhand from coaches, but this one should go well for OSU
Hopefully we get Jax and roll from there.
11am? Don't these kids have classes lol?
Jax is the president of the school board, what are you talking about?
This kid is special. Would love to see him lighting up the scoreboard in GIA
Please sweet 8lb baby Jesus let this one go our way.
The days of the elite student athletes are behind us. He may be a great student, but athletics is now the primary focus in most if not all sports with NlL and the transfer portal.
He was a man. He had a beard!Jesus was 8 pounds, 6 ounces sir.
My gut says it being this close to Bo’s announcement that it will be Iowa. Just brace for it guys.
As much as I want PSU to dominate, and believe me I do, Bassett to Iowa and (possibly) Jax to Okie State is exciting as a wrestling fan.
(Just keep Ohio State out of it.)
(Just keep Ohio State out of it.)
If you guys are Mineo believers he’s saying it’s not Iowa.
Or, he saw how fake people can be and it cleared up his mind about who to trust with his career. I don't know Jax at all, but he seems to keep his own counsel and relies on his family for guidance. They all seem clear headed.
I know he isn't coming to PSU, just like I knew Bo wasn't going to PSU. So I can dispassionately call balls and strikes. Good luck at 11am Eastern guys.
Thanks for your thoughts and the eastern reminder. I was popping in at 11 central lol.
Not saying you’re wrong. Him announcing close to Bo just doesn’t give me good or bad vibes. I don’t think it means much either way.
I think it means they are both ready to get the process over and move on with their focus on this season
As deep as anyone. I wonder if Rudis getting team USA changes things slightly? I had been led to believe that Rudis was a big part of a few of those nil pitches to the ‘25 guys.
I think it's OSU. I also think Jax making his decision after Bo is a good thing for you guys. In a lot of ways Jax and his dad kinda took a backseat at McCort because of the born and bred Johnstown kid. Jax should take a backseat to no one. He's that damn good and in my opinion, if you get him you're getting the best kid in the class.
Also feel Howard Forrest didn't get enough credit for his coaching because Bill got it all.A lot of people didn't even know Howard was the head coach at McCort during the time Bill was suspended. Still hoping PSU can get him but looking like that's not happening. DT may have won this battle..

Why was Bill suspended?
Edit: I found it. Recruiting kids from out of state illegally. Team got a two year ban back in 2021.

Not always....just ask Hawkeye fans. Ha
Sir, my Jesus was cutting weight so he is down to 8lbs, it was mainly water/wine weight.Jesus was 8 pounds, 6 ounces sir.
Jax was one of them. I may be mistaken but I think the one that got him in trouble was actually a western PA kid.
Well he did have some baby fat that needed to be burned off in the sauna.
I vaguely remember controversy around McCort a few years ago. Didn’t realize it centered on recruiting kids. Dumb question, but isn’t that what several of the big time wrestling programs like Bergen Catholic do?
Bergen is a NJ school so I'm sure they have different rules or even no rules when it comes to recruiting. But yeah...there are schools in PA doing it. Getting away with it depends on how you do it and who you know. Lol. Bill bragging about all these kids they were bringing in didn't help his case much. And doing it all over social media was probably his dumbest move..
It’s always social media getting folks in trouble. Bless their hearts.
It cost Bo being a 4 time PA state champ but I'm sure it helped build the Bo Bassett brand even more. Possible that's what was most important to them..
Honestly it kinda makes me more confident with DT just being there. I assume he was there to see Jax and hopefully lock him in.
I like you even more.
