looks more & more likely Isaiah White not entering Ohio st, probably going to OTC. .. Notre Dame college was also in the picture.

loss of Marinelli a huge blow.

Bob knows his stuff with regards to tOSU, so I trust that it was pretty much assured when he posted that.

White is a great talent. He was also a risk, and the coaching ranks were well aware of that.

What the story on Isaiah White? Had not heard.

FWIW - Below is an article about Isaiah White's announcement to initially choose Ohio State.
Has a video of White vs PSU's Joseph.

Good luck to Isaiah. If he is having academic issues, here's hoping he can get them under control.
Appears to be a very impressive wrestler, with lots of upside potential.

Man, and even the prospect of Carr is 3 years away... when all of their current studs are gone. Huge blow to their 2-year title run.

Does this have an impact on Bo Jordan now? Perhaps he stays at 165 after all?

Either way, they'll have an issue at one of 165,174, and 184. I'd let Bojo finally wrestle at a good weight (174) with Myles moving up and just deal with a weakness at 165 rather than having a hole at one of those weight AND a weakened Bojo

He's a kid who worked Cenzo over pretty good at least twice (meaning he's really good!). The videos are out there. This is the extent of what I "know". Evidently he has some academic hurdles that even O$U is having difficulty with, which is surprising (to me at least).

That's exactly what I was thinking: I think TanMan now moves BoJo up to 74, Martin to 84, and deals with it at 65. HE MIGHT move his son up to 65 and deal with it at 57.

And guess who is kicking themselves right now for missing out on Marinelli? LMAO.

White beat Cenzo pretty solidly in a freestyle match 2 years ago (in between Cenzo's JR and SR years). The other time they met was at Walsh Ironman -- White won 3-1 SV. Hardly a working over.

I'm wary of attributing this to academic issue so quickly. When this came up before, PapaBearSlim adamantly denied academics were an issue. He's a wrestling coach at White's HS and the father of one of White's teammates. If it were true, he could've just stayed silent. White's teammate Kamal Bey is at the USOTC -- that could be a factor.

In any case: Tan Tom recently discussed his 2017 lineup. We batted that around a bit (wish I could find the thread) -- and everybody noticed him mentioning Pletcher possibly starting without mentioning White at all. So this development is probably not news to him.

As far as their lineup goes: I don't see Tan Tom pushing his kid to the 165 meatgrinder with Martinez, Cenzo, Massa, Jordan, Lewis, etc. More likely he either lives with Rozema at 184, or lives with Burcher or Kresevic at 165 with a very outside chance Elijah Cleary goes as a true FR. Either way he has a weight that will do little or no damage at nationals.

Who is the kid battling Pletcher in their room at 133 again?

Former OH state champ Jose Rodriguez, who was a top 40 national recruit in 2015.

More than one falsehood in that post but I'll focus on one. I didn't adamantly deny any of White's academic issues. (I have spoken on his maturation in the classroom from hs day 1 thru his senior year but only after he addressed it publicly). If I did please remind me with the post you are referring too. I'm getting old. Thanks in advance for jogging my memory.

Guess I misremembered that. No intent to misrepresent you. Glad to have you back, and you can speak for yourself.

Also interested in what else I got wrong. Would rather have facts right than me right..

It wont help for this year, but the kid tOSU really needs is Kaleb Romero (to be) Sr. from Mechanicsburg, OH. Currently ranked #2 at 160 (Flo) and just beat Kaleb Young. He is also a very good high school QB. From what I hear, Cornell is the biggest threat.
As above, wont help this year, but 'could' help in 2017, when (IMHO) tOSU will be at their peak with NaTo, BoJo, Snyder all seniors, Micah in his rs-jr year and Pletcher, KeShawn Hayes and Kollin Moore all with a full season under their belts.

What's up?

 

[nikra]

Can someone tell me how I can get a blowup picture that Flo wrestling has of Joseph pinning Imar with coach Casey a foot in the air punching the air and Cael with his arms raised. Joseph is still on his knees before he falls back.

Isaiah White is at Notre Dame college. He won the DII 165 pound title this year.

For mine, I just saved the picture on a flash pen and took it to Walmart to print the picture.

He'd beat Campbell by major decision. There is no way that is an upgrade for Ohio st
