He's peaking too early ;-)It is safe to say Marcus Blaze will sign the biggest wrestling NIL contract to date. Looking back he wins lots of tight matches. Has wins over Knox, Forrest and Lilledahl. Is he a full court press?

you forgot Kasak!if he can still make 141!!FULL COURT PRESS !!!!
Also, regardless of Blaze, we're going to need more 141s soon. In 2026 the only 141 on the roster will be Perry, assuming he doesn't outgrow the weight. And there are no other 141s committed. IDK if Nagao would move up, but that would only buy 1 year.
Can't be true. Tom was just giving Cael hell for using NIL money to buy records. There is no way in hell Aruba Tom would ever use NIL money to purchase recruits.A poster on Bucknuts wrestling message board stated that anOSU has offered Blaze a $500k package, and that his brother Joey may (will?) transfer from Purdue to Brutus.
No clue about the credibility of the poster (and some on Bucknuts are skeptical), so take it FWIW.
Minimum points a champ can get is 21 pts. Max points a runner up can get is 24 points. Possible, but 'Pirates-winning-the-world-series' unlikelyIf true (and not doubting it is) then there is something wrong with our scoring system.
I didn't forget Kasak.you forgot Kasak!if he can still make 141!!
Minimum points for a champ is 20. 16 for placement. 4 for advancement. Max is 30 if he achieves five pins.Minimum points a champ can get is 21 pts. Max points a runner up can get is 24 points. Possible, but 'Pirates-winning-the-world-series' unlikely
According to Pyles, Ohio St. Is #1 nationally.I like that tan tom interview when he says they don't got much money I am sure they are better off than most and I think they are in the top 5 spending on the football program so they gotta be up there in spending on wrestling!
Taylor did outscore Dake at nationals in 2013.Minimum points a champ can get is 21 pts. Max points a runner up can get is 24 points. Possible, but 'Pirates-winning-the-world-series' unlikely
Dake is the ultimate tortoise in wrestling. Slow and steady ...Taylor did outscore Dake at nationals in 2013.
I assumed an advancement point for winning in the finals. Thanks for the clarification!Minimum points for a champ is 20. 16 for placement. 4 for advancement. Max is 30 if he achieves five pins.
Carter only got 20 this year for winning his title. Five decisions.
That's alright. I made 10 mistakes today.I assumed an advancement point for winning in the finals. Thanks for the clarification!

now if any team can get all 10 wrestlers to take 3rd place!!LOLTaylor did outscore Dake at nationals in 2013.
so who do you guys believe we land next ? Bassett, Forrest , or Blaze? I’ll say BlazeLets get this back to recruits fellas
Even money on Bassett I think. Blaze would send the others in a tizzy!!!so who do you guys believe we land next ? Bassett, Forrest , or Blaze? I’ll say Blaze
Then Bassett a year later. Blaze in July sounds right
Well to be perfectly honest, why would you ever pick tOSU over PSU?Blaze is down to Penn State and Ohio State according to Willie Saylor
Mendez picked tOSU over PSU and it obviously has paid off for himWell to be perfectly honest, why would you ever pick tOSU over PSU?
Newer facility? Location? Robes, shirts and chains? NIL $$$?
Wait a second, none of those have anything to do with 'wrestling'! Am I wrong?
Buckeyes have an excellent young roster and a very good pipeline coming in. They're definitely our top competition in the future. Is anyone else close?He is building quite the team!
One of those things we'll never know. Would he be better if he had gone to PSU? Possibly.Mendez picked tOSU over PSU and it obviously has paid off for him
Paid off is an accurate descriptionMendez picked tOSU over PSU and it obviously has paid off for him
? Do you mean NIL? It’s legal and PSU wrestlers are getting NIL as well. Sorry if I am misunderstanding. Mendez is a phenomenal talent and should get a competitive NIL packagePaid off is an accurate description
being tough and winning titles are 2 diff things!!!Could you imagine all three. It more likely,
Jax to Oklahoma St, Blaze to Ohio St and Bassett to us. tOSU is putting together some tough kids.
Pyles on FRL today predicts Blaze to PSU. Said he heard some things.
He's been wrong before but the thought of it happening is great.

He fits perfectly at 141 which is a weight we do have some need for when he’s ready to roll in collegeHe's been wrong before but the thought of it happening is great.
