I was in a bar last night and overheard a conversation on all these guys. The fella mentioned that his 2nd cousin knows several guys who are close to friends of all these families. I'll look for him next time I'm thirsty
Recruiting….
- Thread starter Lightweight87
- Start date
What part of Indiana do you live in? I am from Clinton originally but have lived in Indy (Meridian Kessler neighborhood) for 25 or so years.
Did 27' rankings remain the same with Joe at 3, Israel at 5, Sean at 7 & Sonny at 15?
pfp Big Board rankings and yes they are Willie's. And not just kissing Willie's dimpled arse but his rankings are the best.
Good to hear, because he has most of them ranked higher than flo
I joined his website two months ago and am enjoying the content. Willie is a good guy. He loves the sport and loves all the athletes. Two beefs though: he still owes me a beer and what in the Wide World of Sports did he have in his mouth a couple sessions ago?
I think we all owe you a beer.
This is probably the understatement of the year, but I'm glad you made it anyway.
Oh no was Willie blowing big bubba too?
Likely a giant chaw if Copenhagen, soon to be washed down with several Bud heavies. Guys gotta have the guts of a turkey buzzard.
What weight is Grajeda wrestling at this year... where does Willie rank him?
I can't remember the exact number in front of his name but I think he got a pretty decent jump in to the 20s 21 I think I herd on a podcast but could be wrong
I thought he was top 15 before or maybe that was flo. Anyhow i think he's wrestling in the 140 range this year. We might be too congested in his projected weight range with the Bachmans, Kennys & Borge. I think the focus is probably on 174 - 184 going forward maybe Dhabolt or Boe?
Oh man I read that wrong I thought you were asking about dhabolts ranking lol. Grajeda is 13 on flos board
Is Ironman the next tournament we should expect to see most of the new recruits in action, besides the regular season?
That’s a ways off, isn’t it? On Dhabolts instagram I seen him chumming around with Ross on an Iowa duel team, and I believe Ross was on the sidelines with our wrestling recruits on the weekend Dhabolt visited. I have no doubt he is helping recruit him for Taylor, which would be 2 years in a row he pulled the best recruit from Iowa that we wanted. Hope I’m way off on this, we can only add so many light and middle weights in 27 and 28 classes.
I wouldn’t read too much into it. Iowa has connections to Dhabolt just as close as Ross. Plus, Iowa kids don’t grow up dreaming about wrestling for Okie State.
Ross went for the money — not the same landscape this year

love you too, sweetheart
You two are getting along too well lately. Does anyone know why Chittum left Iowa??
I am a little concerned that you know Willie's arse is dimpled.
So where does Israel Borge go to school? I remember hearing rumblings before last summer that he was going to go to Stillwater HS. But where is he going now and what major tournaments will he be at?
CBA goes to Powerade and Escape the Rock so the Kenny’s will be there. Wish they went to Iron Man and Beast of the East.
Faith Christian Academy go to Beast of the East, Escape the Rock, and Iron Man, so that’s when we will see the Bachmanns.
Also, we will see the Moccos at Iron Man this year. Don’t know if they go to any other big tournaments.

Appreciate the update, that’s great that he’s at Bixby! Great in state competition and a great coach!! Excited to see his progression and him at big tournaments!
I think only Beast of the East. I totally forgot to mention him!
Man what a haul, great class!
Doesn't mean much lineup wise but interesting
Yeah, with his connections to Bassett, I am kind of surprised it took this long...
Surprising given how "in" he seemed, and was training in IC not long ago, but good luck to the young man.
Supposedly was his dream to get Iowa offer, but I guess the Bassett pull was too much. Don’t know if his chances of breaking the line up there but at least they can be roommates again
Shows he's more interested in following the bassethounds than he is in really attending the University of iowa. C'est la vie. Hope he finds happiness.
