what about a Gilman, Fix, Yianni?
Recruiting News?
- Thread starter DEWrestlingFan
- Start date
Fair to middlin lol. Worth book money at least.
I think we agree. Spencer Lee by himself and 20 pounds lighter isn't as strong a draw as Gilman/Fix/Yianni/Dake or Lee/Zain/Haines/Mesenbrink/SVN/Kasak/Bartlett
btw, the bad take etc wasn't you but the Flo guy.
Lot of I's in his comments. Too self promoting for my taste.
Well, ultimately it’s an individual sport and I want someone that wants to be great. Maturity teaches how to bring others along on the journey and let’s hope we a staff that understands that.
Should he talk in the third person? That would make you feel better?
It's a new age. You can be a self-promoter AND a good person/kid.
It's going to be the pretty rare kid that can do be that and stay humble, but it seems like Bassett is that dude. He truly loves the sport and it feels like he just enjoys sharing that.
Go listen to an interview with Bassett. For the life of me I don't understand the handwringing. I can't think of many kids I've heard that age who seem more mature.
He knows that it’s hard to monetize wrestling. He’s shooting his shot and building a brand.
Like I said previously… if his brand was about glitz and glam then I’d worry. His brand is built on outworking everyone and being obsessed.
Sucks that one of our recruits is said to be in Ames. Smh. Perry at it again.
Anything is possible, I guess. The Lockett Family is pretty entrenched in Stillwater, and involved in all of the extracurricular events around wrestling. It would be hard to see a last minute move like this.
Not only that, McComas seems to be really enjoying himself.

I don’t mind kids wanting to be elsewhere. It’s the underhanded tactics to do so while being on our payroll for a year. Thats bullshit.
The other weird dynamic, Mark & Cathy Perry have basically been running camp this week.
OSU summer wrestling camp
If you missed in the other thread,
Coleman has been around all week
John led yesterday’s morning session
Guerrero has been around
It’s been very much a blending of old and new

Jj. I don’t know much of the family but they have been around Stillwater for ages
Both IA and ISU seem to be on the hunt. If there was no game to hunt, then ... So there must be some smoke or Willie would have shut it down. Instead he acknowledged Iowa was in on the hunt.
For the life of me, I can't see what either school does for Dee or CC. Someone is selling smoke.

ISU - David Carr, Paniro Johnson, Chittum... oh. and chris perry
Iowa - $$$$$ (only way they get him)
Dee is close with Angelo and Kael V. Could have some effect if he’s on the market.
I can see David Carr. I'm not naive about money, but I sure hope this isn't the future of college commitments.

What about Caliendo, Arnold, Kennedy and Marinelli…….oh, and money!
He’s got a lot of good relationships with the younger Iowa wrestlers it wouldn’t surprise me, but I don’t think he leaves OSU.
Isn't Lockett an Askren kid? If so, maybe he leans on him for advice here.
I just don't see the point in going through all if this is he's not willing to leave. He's been around enough to get a glimpse of what DT's new staff and new culture are going to be like and now he's actively talking w/ ISU and Iowa. That's not a great sign. Could be an NIL push with all of the talk after the DT hire.
Lockett has been in Stillwater a majority of his life, he’s a CWC kid.
He talked about being 100% committed to OSU after the hire, DT called him I don’t get the sudden change. Zo is even on staff and that’s who he vouched for in the interview. A bit blindsiding to me.
There’s so many what ifs until we start seeing the kids this staff has actually had time to train. Until then, I’m having a hard time getting too invested in recruits because no one really knows what the product is going to look like.
Don’t misinterpret this. I do not want to lose Dee and I want the next big thing. I only feel like my attention and focus is really spent more on what will the guys in the room right now look like come fall. If that’s positive everything and everyone else will then start falling into place I hope.

Agreed but he's a legit multi timer imo.

Dude has been damn near his personal coach since birth.
Man, how the world has changed in 15 years. Liberal transfer rules. NIL poaching. A true wild west. It sucks to be a lowly fan sometimes. Makes me wonder if anyone remembers us common folk in the equation.
Was he promised something that was taken away? This seems beyond personal. Almost vendetta-like. It just feels wrong to use kids for payback. If that's what it is, and I'm not saying it is. I don't know but Chris' name keeps popping up in these threads as a common variable.
