1032004 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Kinda crazy that Liam Cronin, a 3rd place finisher at NCAA’s, lost to 2 high schoolers, neither of which being the high schooler that took 3rd (Blaze) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not sure what the recruiting rules are now for students enrolled in other universities, but wouldn't it make sense for any college recruiting the younger Blaze to also go after Blaze the Elder? Cuz it's Purdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1032004 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Commitment coming soon top 6 “Cornell, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, I don’t know, probably missing some, Iowa.” Kozak: “Purdue?” Blaze: “Yeah Purdue” Doesn’t sound too good for Iowa or Purdue.

BarSeries Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 And I doubt he says his school 1st or 2nd so probably can drop Cornell and Michigan off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the last time we had a high schooler on the national team for men’s freestyle? 2008 Jake Deitchler 18-year-old from Ramsey, Minnesota, became the first high school wrestler to make the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team in 32 years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive for sure and such a shame that concussions cut his career short. I am thinking it hasn’t happened in freestyle since Cejudo, and if you limit it to minors (under 18), I think Blaze may be the first to make the national team since Carr in 1972! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it your splitting hairs, but I feel like this falls into sort of a Dake vs. Taylor category where the more dominant wrestler isn’t necessarily the better wrestler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de4856 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Marcus is really impressive, hopefully he can stay healthy and continue to improve. I look forward to watching him wrestle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Pyles said on FRL that he heard Blaze is going to Penn State. Realistically, it's between PSU and OSU. And, hate to say it, but I wonder if Tom Ryan's accident and being out of commission in a crucial time for recruiting has any impact. You'd hope not, but this has gotta be when everyone is putting the full court press on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t like that the interviewer just threw in other schools to his “top choice” let the kid say what he has to/wants to say. It doesn’t look good for Purdue, unfortunately. But maybe he’s just toying with us and didn’t say Purdue himself to make it a surprise… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen both terms used pretty loosely. But he was obviously very very good at a young age. Where’s my Easton or Lehigh people to clarify?
