Knox is spending xmas with the Brands this week.... huge news!
Recruiting….
- Thread starter Lightweight87
- Start date
There's a ton of conflicting info going on right now. Best thing to do is not fret.
Wtf would he want tOSU. They are stockpiling lightweights. If he goes there with 4 years left, maybe they loose a few.
Heard it where? From whom? This is kind of like mentioning your wife, you got to provide pics. Or in this case... names.
If Ohio State, they have Bouzakis / McCrone/ Kilkeary / Davino / Munaretto / Antonio Mills at 125-133. Somone won't be happy
Mrs Brands making her famous apple pecan with carmel Christmas pie to help with the accent to 33. And then off to Mr. Arnold's for an after Christmas buffet. Go Hawks.
Duh, don’t you know…. Iowa is the only school can get blasted for recruiting over someone
Mineo reported that. If it’s not us I hope he’s at Rutgers.
I mean he did make it into Cornell academically pretty sure he’ll make it into Iowa.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up at Iowa. But I was also told that the Raneys were basically a done deal so I take everything I hear with a grain of salt now when it comes to recruiting. Seems like things change often. Hell even tampering with signed and enrolled athletes is okay now-a-days. In fact that’s become an epidemic in recent years.
Woah… that’s shocking. I thought we were crowded around his weight. Love that he’s already for the fight!
Welcome aboard Young Man!!!!!! LFG
Shamus Reagan awesome name a great class just got even better!!!!
I'd guess him to Iowa may foreshadow Knox to someplace else?
Not sure but if other teams can keep stacking talent think we should take anyone that wants to come.
Here’s Regan’s commitment post:
The Bishop McCort product (yes, that Bishop McCort) currently ranks #5 nationally at 132lbs and #37 OVR in the 2027 class by Flo.

I have to be honest.... I'm shocked we got another McCort kid this quickly.
Is he not wrestling for McCort now? Haven’t seen him in any of the big tournaments this year. Maybe that’s why his ranking dropped from Top 20 to now 37 Flo and 40 Willie. Maybe this helps some with being able to land McCort kids even with Bassett recruiting against us. Don’t know if we have interest in the OFerrell kid who is a 175 top 10 pfp 2028 kid? Other than Sanchez, we should strictly be looking at upper middle and upper weight kids for 2028 now.
I would really hope that’s not the case. Happy for Shamus but he’s ranked 37th in the class, so that shouldn’t stop us from recruiting anybody. He will have his chance to make the line up but if Knox is in you don’t tell him no over Shamus. Also this shouldn’t stop us from recruiting someone like Sammy Sanchez who is the is #1 in the class of 2028
Regan is?? Is that the powerhouse program in Florida? Why did he transfer there?
He announced he’s transferring there in the live stream. I’m not 100% sure but I believe it’s due to PIAA not letting him compete.
From what I understand PIAA was potentially not going to allow him to compete because he transferred from Wyoming Seminary to another school in state. I heard he was considering his options ie staying at McCort and just training with them or going out of state. Apparently he chose Lake Highland Prep. I believe CJ Torres was a Lake Highland Prep kid.
Regan has the frame to get to 141/149, and still looks very young. Hard to say where these 2027 and 2028 kid land weight wise in college and who thrives and improves and who doesn’t pan out. Chittum looked like a can’t miss #1 kid coming out of high school and look at him now. He’s at Chattanooga, and not in the line up. Not sure if he’s hurt, but hasn’t lived up to the hype. Caliendo was ranked in the 50’s in high school, Buchanan not top 100, and they thrived in college.
Yeah, not a given where a young man that wont be in college til Aug 2027 will be weight and body frame-wise. Congrats to Shamus. Glad he's a Hawk.

Thanks - I must’ve missed that snippet from the livestream.
If eligibility is the holdup, I suppose it’s not exactly a shock given McCort’s history with the state of Pennsylvania.
Willie what are you hearing on Knox?
Regan is a solid pick up. Might be a little crowded around his weight but he will be in the mix. Kid has been a winner for a long time.
I dont need a link, im gonna be there too and I drew him for the secret Santa exchange... its really happening guys!!!
Im not sure what i should get him tho
Just published my story on the Regan commitment:
Iowa lands two-time Fargo champ, 2027 prospect Shamus Regan - On3

Boom top 50 commit I'm stoked!
All seriousness I hope he has a good time at Iowa. Congrats if it was his life's dream.

The Raneys were basically a done deal. You didn't hear incorrectly. And then they weren't.
After seeing some of his matches against top competition, I think he is more talented than his current ranking. Pretty sure Flo had him as a top 20 or very close to it earlier this year. Maybe his reduced activity this fall has hurt him. Amato hasn’t wrestled much this fall, and his ranking tanked also. I looked back on 2022/2023 big boards and was surprised how many guys ranked from mid 30’s through 80’s have performed way above their high school ranking. Our own Mikey Caliendo was a mid 50’s recruit.
Losing half the starters next year. Delucca coming in for Peterson. Wouldn't miss a beat if Knox would come in for Drake. Guessing portal for Cali. Arnold for PK. Ludington for Mo. Other questions are is Williams going to pan out and is BK football or wrestling next year. Really don't have backup plans at 57 or Hwt.
Won’t Mocco be a true frosh next year? He could definitely benefit from a redshirt, but he most certainly has the pedigree to go right away if needed…
Not sure how others feel, but it wouldn’t shock me to see Block at 157 next year.
I still can’t believe he makes 149 with how tall he is.
That might precipitate the likes of Williams/Estrada heading back down to 49 - which I know some folks feel is the best weight for those guys anyway, esp. Williams.
Didnt want to wrestle with Bassetts
Estrada would be so much better at 149
