So it sounds like Forrest is going to wrestle in college at 141 or 149. Do we dare get selfish and try to get the Raney twins to be our future at 125/133?
Raney twins?
- Thread starter Mr.OSU
- Start date
The Raney twins are going to be really good! Those guys get after it and they'd be excellent additions
I don’t believe the Raneys are destined for 125. Maybe not even 133.
Edit to add that a guy on PSU forum said earlier that the Raneys had mentioned 141/149 or 149/157 as ideal weights.

They've visited. Not sure what their interest level is though.
Better ask around. It won't be Illinois
Good. Illinois looks TERRIBLE. Way too much greco.
With twins they'll want to wrestle together and i dont see that happening at iowa with who they have already committed.
Iowa has nobody committed holding them out from 33/41. If they view themselves as 41/49 49/57 might be a little tougher to fit them in.
I have heard Illinois. They are out of northern KY, which may be closer to the Carolina schools, or Virginia schools. UT Chattanooga has a pipeline to that school but they are going to probably go to a school that is tryouts g to contend for a championship
The twins are really good…I feel they will be able to choose almost anywhere they want to go.
Illinois has also had former union county wrestlers wrestle for them. For whatever that’s worth. They are good enough to go to the school who will pay them the most… probably Iowa.
Doubt we get them taking that into account. Forrest says he wants to wrestle at 41 or 49. We have a lot of great options at 57 as well. Penn st looking at taking them?
I am envisioning the future as Vega at 41, Forrest at 49, Robideou(sp) at 57, and Lockett at 65. Lockett will probably grow to 74 at some point.
I see Lockett really taking over as a leader next year. He’s a bit like Fix in that he’s a cowboy to the core.
Lockett is probably one of those guys who you let wrestle at whatever weight he wants (within reason), but agreed that he probably finishes his career at 174 unless he just doesn’t grow much more. Also have no idea what he normally weighs currently
Can’t wait to find out how good or not Rin is.
We also have Ronnie Ramirez at 125, he looks like he's going to be a good one.
Probably more need than you guys in about 3 years but fitting in twins is tough. I'd say no. I don't think we are on their list anyway.
Me too, you must be good to win Japan Nationals which apparently, he just did in December before he came back to Stillwater. If he was getting beat badly by Troy, why would he come back? He said in that article he was coming back for 125 but on the roster, he is listed as 125/133. I have said this before, but John described him and Merrill as very good recruits. He described Sakamoto as very fast and quick. Besides the matches last year in the 20 and under Worlds I have never seen him wrestle. I am very curious to see how good he is or hear from someone at practices. Our newspaper people or TV people at his weekly press conferences never ask Coach Taylor that question?
Hype is the correct word. I don't ever see them at the same weight. Blaze will likely always be a weight under Bo.
