Hope I'm wrong about this, but suspect this won't work out well for him in either sport.

He's listed at 5' 7", 175 lb. If he's listed at 5' 7", he's not even that tall. I doubt he can put on enough weight to survive as a RB in Bielema's smashmouth offense -- he might as well put an injury cart on retainer. And what other position can an alleged 5' 7" guy move to?

Wrestling-wise, if there's anything left of him after Bielema pounds him into the ground ... he got out-lengthed by Asher. His height/reach won't become less of a disadvantage in B10 wrestling.

I’m guessing Penn State wanted this young man as well, meaning it’s a big loss?
I don’t follow recruiting closely, so someone fill me in.
TIA

Never visited to the best of my knowledge. Took trips to Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma State, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech.

Adams is very good, but probably not a priority for PSU, which is already pretty stacked with young guys at 184 and 197 (Barr, Mirasola, Henckel, maybe Ryder, maybe Cunningham).

Is he from Ohio?

Track lists him as being from Stowe, PA, which is just outside of Pottstown, PA

Edit: I checked further, and a Pottstown Mercury article from 2023 says in an article about Adam:

"Waters, a Stowe native and rising sophomore at Faith Christian ..."

I wish people would stop tweeting/posting nonsense like this.

By PIAA rules, athletes must not turn 19 before July 1 preceding each season. So Bassett cannot be older than 20 during his freshman year at Iowa.

Bassett could be a 21-yo RSFR. (As is Josh Barr.) But really, nobody thinks he's gonna shirt.

El-Jefe, refresh my memory. Didn’t you tell me that Mirasola has beaten Mocco in the past?

Answering my own question here. I found a match between the two in 2024. Mirasola pinned Mocco. Mirasola was leading 8-0 at the time.

For everyone else's benefit, here it is:



It was freestyle but that doesn't really matter -- Cole kicked his ***. It wasn't competitive at all.

Here is Mocco vs. Dean Bechtold in the Super 32 finals. Even match thru 2 periods ... and then Mocco got beaten up on bottom by a much larger version of Frank Molinaro.

Some buzz that Dom Munaretto (IL 133) will go Tan today, and that the Raney twins (KY) are leaning hard toward Iowa (but not yet decided).

After them, the only other uncommitted 2026 top-30 guy is Coby Merrill.

Isn't Merrill pretty much a lock to Okie State, to join his brother?
