RandolphTJones Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Very big get. Another top 5 recruit to PSU. Very likely a #1 overall recruit as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana-Hawk-Wrestling-Fan Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Someone is going to ride the bench out of Mason Gibson, Luke L., and B. Davis. Good problems to have though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's taken a couple of losses recently, so I'm not sure if he will, in fact, be the #1 overall recruit, but either way, very high level kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Didn't he just try to Muay Thai knee ths shit out of Mason Gibson's cousin (Bassett a HS frosh next season) who just beat him soundly via a 4-1 Decision? 2 "I know actually nothing.

MizzouFan01 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 @VakAttack Luke mentioned his top 7 in no particular order. Penn St, Michigan, Mizzou, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa St and Arizona St. With Iowa not being mentioned and being light weight U, as a Hawk fan did you think you guys had a chance at landing him. Generally interested on how other fan bases feel in regards to blue chip recruits. Mizzou, even though Mo is his home state, I felt we had about a 15% chance of landing him.

I'm not truly an insider, so I would say no based on the fact Iowa wasn't mentioned in his top 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be correct as well. I personally just found it intriguing that Iowa who’s known for good light weights wasn’t included but Illinois and Wisconsin were. Illinois I kinda get, close to Mo, and a young energized staff. Wisconsin was because of Reader who he said to have a good relationship with from the World team. Luke’s interview on the money round was pretty good. Lots of info on the background of his choice and why he made said choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eye, I think Ferrari and Sealey are the best guys in the year, but that's all gut feeling. Sealey took 3 losses in the offseason, 2 to non-elite guys and Angelo just destroyed him at WNO. Anyone not ranking Angelo #1 is disingenuous IMO. I would go Angelo, Davino, Hopke. Lilledahl would have been in the running for #1 or #2 except for his recent struggles. You could argue he still belongs up there as I think both his recent losses were in freestyle but he didn't look good in either match to me.

nhs67 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Ellinelle could very well end up at 141 for all we know. Penn State has been known ti have gents defer a year as well.

buckshot Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Embarrassment of riches is a huge understatement at this point. In the preseason I said they should redshirt Haines because they wouldn't need his points and I was right, they would have still won going away even w/o his 2nd place finish. i have a feeling this will be the case w/ LL as well. They're going to be fine with Robby Howard until 2026 so by the time LL steps in he'll have had an entire year in the room turning into a beast. In three years the premier tournament is going to be the Black Knight Invite because it will be the only chance people get to see PSU's hammers wrestle each other 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing what Sealy did this past wknd at Journeyman and knowing he won a cadet worlds, I am guessing Sealy wasn't 100 percent for those prior matches. No worries about him at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can fault Lilledahl for losing to another elite wrestler in Bassett. I feel like Hopke has come along late, and really don't know much about him. 1) Ferrari 2) Davino 3) Lilledahl 4) Hopke Sealey: 7-8 right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
