Expand beat Knox two matches to zero to make u17 team last year won gold 2-1 against Jax in High school 2-0 against Lilledahl beat him in iron man finals 2 years ago beat Nico at the trials beat Ramos at clarion open apparently trains with Jesse a lot at Ohio State 2 high school losses one off a fleeing the mat call to deluca at iron man in OT that he avenged for 3/4 and to davino in rideouts this year at ironman I think he is the best p4p wrestler in high school right now as far as recruiting goes you have him,jax,knox all sorta around the same weight for now although I think blaze and Jax end up in the 141-149 range so I would have him as the #2 recruit for 2025 behind duke simply because of separation from guys around your weight. I hope he goes to Ohio State he seems to train there a lot and with Jesse and Feldman having at least two more years welsh having three and him and davino coming in I think they could push PSU potentially. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted April 21, 2024 Author Share Posted April 21, 2024 Damn. Kids is incredible. Yet you still have him #2 behind PJ Duke? Seems like a clear #1 in his recruiting class. What am I missing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a clear #1 in his recruiting class. What am I missing? Expand Purely because there is so much separation from duke and the other guys around his weigh in the class of 2025. Where as while Blaze I think is better than Knox and Deluca they are both relatively comparable to his skill level. Bouzakis may be the closest comp to duke and Duke beat him 21-8 last time they wrestled. After writing that I checked what class ladarion Lockett is and hes also 2025 and I would have him and duke near a coin flip so Im good with blaze at #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husker_Du Posted April 21, 2024 Share Posted April 21, 2024 i currently have it 1 - Duke 2 - Lockett 3 - Blaze but I'm updating after Vegas. i wouldn't argue with anyone who ordered those three in another fashion. you get in to nitpicking - but Duke is the most prolific scorer of the bunch. I guess you could argue Blaze had more matches against elite guys than Duke, but Blaze is typically lower/closer scores. of course i'm splitting hairs. 1 TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I just committed to the weight class of the years they were eligible I would have been correct (Dean instead of Beard one year and Kerk this year). My take was still well off, though.

He was 17 and a junior in high school (Pa.) 1972. I am sure there are others who were top 3 and considered to be on the Olympic team.
