ASU is putting together an impressive group of recruits. Their 2015 class was one of the best. This year will be telling for that class and Zeke’s ability to develop wrestlers. A recap of that class:Figs to Arizona State. That's what some people were speculating.
ASU is putting together an impressive group of recruits. Their 2015 class was one of the best. This year will be telling for that class and Zeke’s ability to develop wrestlers. A recap of that class:
Anthony Valencia-#1 p4p recruit in 2015. No AA yet
Zahid Valencia- #3 p4p. Placed 3rd and 1st.
Tanner Hall-the #9 recruit in 2011. He is now a 24 or 25 year old true senior with one AA in 3 years as a starter
Lance Benick-#10. Has disappeared from my radar. No fault of ASU.
Josh Shields-#11 p4p Two year starter and 1x AA
Josh Maruca-#18 p4p. One yr starter and no AA
Nikki Villarreal-3X CA state champ but has not cracked the lineup.
Anthony Valencia looks to be redshirting too.If Hall does redshirt then ASU could potentially be in the mix for a team trophy next year. Zahid could go 184 and Teemer could slide in at 149/157.
Unrelated, but the 285 class is thinning out a little this year. Dhesi might not be back for Oregon St and Gable might redshirt along with Hall. If Nevills is healthy (and beats out Cassar), then the top 3 contenders would be Stoll, Nevills, and Derek. Derek senior AA, senior champ?
Borrer to ou.
This is a ways off, but Flo has updated their 2022 Big Board (yes, they are only freshmen!) and there are 4 Oklahoma kids in the top 28.
Jordan Williams, Tulsa, #17
Bam West, Edmond, #23
Zach Blankenship, Bixby, #26
Kaden Glass, Sand Springs, #28
Anthony Ferrari is #6. Willie says he may have lost a wrestle-off at Blair, which is absolutely loaded in the lower weights.
I think a key to contending again for team titles is having no "missed years". The 2016 class was a miss for us. We need to string multiple solid classes together. It would be great if we add 1 or 2 more studs for 2020, then get little Mastro, Haas, Young & Picklo in 2021, then a few OK kids in 2022.
With Cassar seeking a 6th year of Eligibility should we be persuing Nick Nevills as a stop gap before we can develop whoever is in the wings (Doucet/Neo kid)
that was totally uncalled for.What a fag
and quite repulsive.
I took driad's post as a lighthearted joke, like saying he hated Kharchla for committing to tOSU. It didn't offend me, but I can see how some might not like it.
But the hypocrisy is too much. BanjoSaysWoof, you were repulsed? Really? I read the Iowa board (AKA "the cesspool"), many others on here do as well. Did you forget what you posted about Cael Sanderson and PSU fans?
No such thing as a lighthearted joke that uses a slur.
Revised. Thoughts & prayers to this young lad for choosing a 2nd rate wrestling program that is so terrified of it's in state rival that it will not wrestle twice as is tradition for the good of the sport. Is that better? Now let's get the thread back to recruiting targets.Borrer to ou.
I wasn't offended-just think other descriptions would be more appropriate for a young man that has worked that hard to get somewhere, even if it is somewhere else.Have you ever been to a comedy club?
Some people choose to be offended by things and some do not. I'm not going to tell someone how they should feel and I don't expect anyone to tell me what I should think either.
