Now that the Blaze decision is done, who are we waiting and hoping for next? Ross Bassett Forrest Mocco
That's what this class was supposed to be after the monster haul in the current class with just targeted guys like Duke and Blaze, but then other guys like Henckel recruited themselves here on their own despite a gargantuan task to just earn a spot and other guys like Asher, who was likely always coming as Casey's son, wrestled their way from mid-tier room guy to legitimate hammer.I believe we will see a couple of years of very small and very focused recruiting classes.
Basset and Jax should be at the top, no question.Now that the Blaze decision is done, who are we waiting and hoping for next? Ross Bassett Forrest Mocco
Willie's thoughts on Blaze's committment:
What is Penn State wrestling getting in Marcus Blaze, and where could he fit into the lineup?: Commitment impact
Penn State wrestling put an exclamation point on its Class of 2025 when it landed Ohio star Marcus Blaze on Wednesday.www.on3.com
In Willies article he says Blaze is #3 on the big board, who are #1 & #2?Willie once again proves why he earns the big bucks.
I know Duke is #1. Not sure who his 2 is..In Willies article he says Blaze is #3 on the big board, who are #1 & #2?

Plyes somehow manages to stumble and bumble through without ever having a plan.Loved FRL today. Instead of Christian just sticking to admitting that Flo blew it by inadvertantly naming PSU as Marcus's choice in their article, he decides to move quickly away from that and begins to berate fans for spreading the news they got from Flo who wasn't suppose to spread it in the first place. Then from there, Christian moves on to trashing the fans for trashing Flo and their f*** up. Come on Christian, stop and take a look at how stupid you made yourself out to be today...
With Willie? It’s got to be Budweiser and Skoal in that order..In Willies article he says Blaze is #3 on the big board, who are #1 & #2?
Can't argue that. Blaze 1A and Duke 1B?Marcus is the biggest and best recruit PSU ever got imo. He will have a better career than PJ. Duke is amazing but might not start for a year or two.
If you’re strictly going by pedigree at time of enrollment, Hall could be #1.As far as ranking our top recruits (I’m going with their pedigree at the time of enrollment) of this era, I’d go Blaze, Lillidahl, Duke, DT, Hall, Zain, Brooks… but that is really splitting hairs. It’s scary to think my top 3 are either in their first semester or still in high school.
That’s what I was thinking too.If you’re strictly going by pedigree at time of enrollment, Hall could be #1.
I couldn’t remember how many world medals Hall had at the time of enrollment. I first had Hall ahead of Taylor, but then I swapped them at the last second. Mostly because David Taylor changed the trajectory of Penn State. The reason I put the three young pups out front was their success at college and senior level tournaments. I don’t remember Hall winning at college opens, Olympic trials, or the Bill Ferrell.If you’re strictly going by pedigree at time of enrollment, Hall could be #1.
I think Lilledahl is the most accomplished but he has a loss to Blaze so that knocks him down a notch. I have Duke as my #1 though with Blaze 2 and Lilledahl 3. Hall is 4 for me. Lilledahl has more world medals than Mark but Mark has 2 U20 golds. Lilledahl has a gold and silver but also has 1 more year to competeIf you’re strictly going by pedigree at time of enrollment, Hall could be #1.
I still have Hall at #1. The rest could very well pass him but he was the big recruit with the big victories...Valencia at Who's # 1 was a huge match......pre-match hype was amazing. Hall crushed it.I think Lilledahl is the most accomplished but he has a loss to Blaze so that knocks him down a notch. I have Duke as my #1 though with Blaze 2 and Lilledahl 3. Hall is 4 for me.

But those are high school kids. Blaze beat Daton Fix who is a 5 time AA and world silver medalist. He beat Matt Ramos, an NCAA finalist, as a junior in high school. He obviously has more as well. Hall was a huge recruit no doubt but what Blaze and Duke are doing to elite college and senior level guys is unprecedentedHall was my #1 for what he did to Bull at Cliff Keen, was an ass kicking of epic proportions of an elite kid.
That spladle was the cherry on top. Iowa fans were crying for weeks after that.Hall was my #1 for what he did to Bull at Cliff Keen, was an ass kicking of epic proportions of an elite kid.
