Uncommitted top 100 flowrestling recruits, class of 2024

[BlacknGold]

Someone get this list to Tom Brands.  Iowa has a powerful recruiting class in 2023, but they need consistency. Time to land some 2024 hammers. Penn State has 5 top 10 2024 recruits while Iowa is dragging their feet. Not sure what Tom is waiting for

Used up all the scholarship money on the last class and only one in-state kid on the list.

…Cael will probably get all 7 PA kids to walk-on at PSU, though.

I don't think Penn State can fit another body in their building unless they fire the janitor

The upper weight guys are all pretty much playing football. Even if they say they're wrestling, don't count on it.

100% football. He'll never see the wrestling mat.

[warren_haynes]

Matecki is a nice prospect from Missouri and a prospect on the mma side already. 

[flyingcement]

Cody Merrill is a future NCAA champ.  Wonder where he ends up

[flyingcement]

Also I think Jack Consiglio just committed to Stanford 

[Laxhawk174]

I hope Iowa snags some or all the following:

#1 Ferrari - connection is obvious with brother already committed. 

#56 Ayala - Family connection, solid room guy, provides solid depth in the lower weights. 

#73 Voinivich - Hope we snag his older brother Victor from the portal too. Want the Stillwater HS connection. Voinivich and Ferrari HS teammates and friends with LaDarian Lockett (2025). He is Okie States to lose but you never know, supposedly he is open to considering other options. 

#27 Manville - Is he a lock to PSU? They seem to be getting awfully crowded. Van Ness/Haines for 3/4 years + Kasak for 4/5 years + Class of 2025 PA State champ Dalton Perry has already committed. Maybe he wants to go there and fight for a starting spot (wouldn't be shocked at all), but it's worth kicking the tires if you're Iowa. He had a very good showing at the US open this past weekend. Lost 1 point matches to Kasak and Mendez. 

Probably unlikely to get both Manville and the Voinivich brothers due to weight overlap. Probably unlikely to get any of them, I'm just spitballing here. Would love to go after Cody Merrill as well, but sounds like he'll be a HWT. Who knows how that would play out with Kueter.

 

Otherwise, hope the groundwork is being laid for class of 2025. Need to have a big haul in that class. 

[Formally140]

I’m hoping Johnson picks wrestling

It’s crazy that he is still uncommitted. Literally one of the best HWT prospects in this class and will legit contend for a NCAA title when the time comes. 
 

Willie said Stanford is still in the mix even with landing Carter Neves committing there . I wander who else might be in his list outside of Stanford. My guess is ASU is also on his list.

It’s actually the opposite, it’s 100% wrestling.

Think Ferrari/Ayala is likely, would like to get a few more though. Lawrence, Merrill, Cerchio, Larkin, Manville, Ayoub, etc.

Repost this in 12 months. I'm happy to eat crow if I'm wrong (but I won't be).

Kid's a stud at both, but they always pick football.

[Husker_Du]

1) What is this flowrestling you speak of

2) i get what you're saying Fletcher, but his father FWIW, told me he'll be wrestling. i know he's good at FB, but how high of a DI prospect is he?

[Ivan Stankowski]

Is Hopke going to Wisconsin? Is so who is he going to roll with that will push him to the next level?

I've heard thru the grapevine that he's another one going the football route.

Incidentally, has there ever been a Hopke-Kueter match in folk or free? That would be fun to see.

[stealyphil223]

Hopke is not playing football, he is going to go to Minnesota and wrestle.

Fact? Opinion? Wishing? in side information?

That’d be amazing. Literally Mcnelly, Nelson, then Hopke sounds like a great way to finish out a lineup!

Hopke’s brother plays baseball at NDSU and is rumored to be in the transfer portal soon if not already. Where he lands to play baseball will greatly influence where Koy goes, imo.

Minnesota very much a player. I’d consider them a favorite, but you can never count out Cael.
