Jax Announcement Tomorrow
- Thread starter mcpat
- Start date
You guys got a special wrestler
but an even more special kid
but an even more special kid
I’m gonna be bullish on Thompson for 2 reasons
1. He could’ve easily hit the portal (or gotten the boot) when DT and the staff came in with their lifestyle changes for the team. He’s still here (as far as we know).
2. DT clearly sees something in him, else he wouldn’t have brought him as his sparring partner to the world championships. Hopefully that investment pays dividends.
I know he was up and down last year and faded down the stretch, but I think a lot of that was cutting too much weight and not cutting the “right” way. He may not have impressed at the Hays tournament but as far as I can tell no one in the staff was there with him. Give him a full year with these guys and let’s see what he can do this next year.
Lol. The Hawk board. @west2east seems to think you're soft. And @MALOS apparently doesnt have the balls to tell you here he welcomes you banning him and would take it as a compliment.
Haha, I don’t care.
Those guys are welcome here unless they want to cause problems. They give pretty good points here and there.
oh yea, next year Hughes should fill in at 141, I forgot Jax is only a junior with all this talk him and Bo still have another year of HS. Hopefully Hughes, Jax and Jamison can all spread out over the next year or two to get them all in the lineup
@WiIdTurk oh look, a mod that isn't weak and a crybaby.. you should take notes.

Ohhhh we want problems...
Anyone seen Lisa Morales here yet?
I just came to say congrats. Leave the drama behind. This is Jax's thread.
Jax said on flow he would like to start his 1st year but would trust his coaches on what would be best.
His answer at 9:20 below. He says likely 141 as a freshman assuming he keeps growing, and 149 later on. And that he wants to wrestle as a freshman, but would accept redshirting if that's best for the team.
I
I'd give anything to see Jax have a growth spurt and him and Bassett were at same weight. Love him to definitively prove he was the best recruit of the two.
I’d like to see him run through 4 weight classes with no defeat to make himself the undisputed NCAA goat
Jax RS and then stepping in at 149 his rsFR year after Jamison graduates seems ideal. Seems crazy to think the #9 p4p class of 2023 kid (Hughes) would not be a lock by 26/27 season as a starter at 141 but remains to be seen unfortunately.
You can kick me while I’m up…it’s cool.
Until he loses a match or wins his second title at the same weight, this is my personal plan for him.
Welcome to the club. If DT is for real in challenging Cael...you better get use to trying to figure out how kids fit in.
DT now has his DT and the start of bigger things for sure. Congrats!
I believe the thought here is that anytime a top Pennsylvania High school wrestler doesn't go to PSU he was "pulled away" whether you thought he was going there are not. The fact that he didn't is significant.
I have one somewhere but I haven't seen it in a while. Hopefully my son didn't pinch it.
Yeah, there’s insufficient evidence. This was an insane hall for his first full year of recruiting
