Bo and co might just make the VaTech a podium contender


VTech putting together an impressive squad.... should be the class of the ACC... and a team that can bump Iowa further back in the next couple of years! Great facilities, great campus... still a little shocked (and they originally had Jayden James also)! Impressed~!

The Bachmans should fit in very nicely at Iowa. At SEM last night against non elite wrestlers, Fred went about 4 minutes in neutral before taking his first shot with a 4-1 win and Joe with a 2-1 win in overtime.
So they are already spending time in Iowa City. Beau is wondering who is paying the transportation and housing bill?

Good for him. He wrestles at Poway High. Poway is a suburb outside of San Diego, which is only a twenty minute drive from my house in Ramona. This will be quite the jaunt for him as Ithaca is 2685 miles from Poway. State College would have only been a 2547 mile trip : )

This could be a real problem if he transfers to OKST. Spratley is a JR. They have no 125s in the pipeline. Knox would be a 4-yr starter assuming he can hold the weight, grayshirting this year, redshirt next.

Iowa also badly needs a 125/133 after Ayala graduates.
They have Villasenor on the way who is a top 10 overall recruit. Knox is better in my opinion though. Villasenor might be getting too big for 125 but he has to make it or he won’t see the lineup. Ramirez, Raney, Jax or some combination of them makes it very unlikely he sees the lineup at 133

I am wondering how much of a factor the looming trial had on his decision? Here is the latest on the legal front:
"Former St. John Vianney wrestler Anthony Knox Jr. and his father, Anthony Knox Sr., could face finally charges stemming from their involvement in a brawl at a district wrestling tournament last February. The trial has now been scheduled for Jan. 7, 2026."


And here is another article that is not behind a firewall:

Rutger Fight Club would be too fitting.

Speaking of Knox Sr, he is all over social media as "Dr. Cut Pro." Videos are 11/10 for laughs, if you find over-testosteroned self-serious NJ dudes entertaining.
