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 Author Share Posted April 21 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...

What am I missing? 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 Share Posted April 21 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.

While setting up in neutral, Methenbrink pushed his ass into Lockett no less than three times while laughing. That’ll knock you down a few pegs. Not even talking about how he teched him.

Also, check out Landon Robideau, a Jr from Minnesota up at this weight. His last national appearance was at 138 at Super 32 (2nd place). He is looking very physical with the weight bump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle26 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Blaze was really impressive as were all of the high school wrestlers. When is the last time we had a high schooler on the national team for men’s freestyle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Kyle Snyder is our youngest World Gold medalist (19) and youngest Olympic Gold medalist (20). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly not since "high schooler" (age 19) Henry Cejudo was the 55kg runner-up at the 2006 World Team trials, losing the best-of-three finals to Sammie Henson (who later won World bronze). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
