Ross is expected to wrestle at heavyweight in college.
Any chance we get him for football too ?
You don’t want him playing football. Good chance of serious injury there
As for Bassett and Jax, in a recent interview Brands stated that Iowa is going to be getting a top lightweight whom he can’t name right now. I assume that is Bassett, and Jax ends up a Cowboy. I see us in near future as perennial second place finishers ahead of Iowa, but always behind PSU as long as Cael remains. PSU is going to break Gable’s record. Gable and Sanderson are the top tier coaches. John Smith and Harold Red Nichols are the second tier. This is just for modern day coaching, meaning since 1950. All-time would be Gallagher, Gable, Sanderson and no one else.
I wouldn’t really say that Bo is in the lightweight category. He has wrestled at 144 and is bigger than Jax. Coach Brands is the biggest goofball. There is no comparison between him and David Taylor. I would be happy to have either Bo or Jax, and definitely both. We have signed this year Sergio Vega, Ladarion Lockett (165) and Landon Robideau, all number ones at their weights. We probably need to sign a portal heavyweight for next year until Ross gets a little bigger. We already have a good 197 guy in the room.
There is no way Bo is going to Iowa!!! It’s between us and Penn State. If we don’t get Bo we will get Jax! It would be absolutely phenomenal if we are able to get Bo and have the top 1- 2 and 3 prospects in the nation coming to OSU!
I’ve trolled Penn St wrestling board and not many feel confident that Bo signs with them. I just have a gut feeling Bo is committing here and Forrest will follow. Maybe I’m looking at it with too much orange tint but that’s my gut
I don’t think that’s happening in today’s world. I do remember Jerry Sherk and John Ward playing both sports. Anyone else? Happy Dreshaun chose Cowboys but he looks to be very small for that weight class.
Hey Tailspin! I owe you an apology!! Bassett is headed to Iowa! I can’t believe it, especially with him being a Christ centered kid to wrestle for Brands.
I owe you an apology talisman! Bassett headed to Iowa! You were right - can’t believe it wasn’t us or Penn State.
Well that sucks !! I don’t think Brands can take him where he wants to be but so be it. Hopefully we get Forrest then. Dam I cannot believe Bo went for the money.
I was young but I remember Sherk and John Henry , Both had some years in the league if I remember right
Wishful thinking on my part .
It’s baffling but who wouldn’t want to work with DT?
