Thanks for the article Greg. I noticed you had him listed as 14th PfP but isn’t he ranked 4th by Matscouts for 2027?
Shhhhhhhh! Don’t anger the Gods
Yeah, I wrote that part kind of clumsily. Sorry, I'll update to make it clearer. But, at any rate, he is No. 4 on MatScout's big board for just the Class of 2027, No. 14 in the outlet's overall pound-for-pound high school rankings, and No. 1 at 120.
I never felt we had a curse @ 125.
Sidun is a great get, and could slide in nicely @ 125.
@WillieTheBrain speculates in the latest BaschAMania (see the National Duals thread for the video) that Landon may start out in college @ 125, but will probably end up @ 133.
And as I've said many, many times over the years, projecting future weights of prospects that are early in their junior year of HS is impossible -- best to just let nature take its course, and see where things are when the kids get to college.
you are correct on ...its not wise to predict weight classes 6 and 7 years out... sidun could realistically end up at 33.... his gene pool suggests he probably wont grow a ton but agreed.... lets keep it on a 2 -3 year projection.
I do feel like we struggled at 125 for a little bit after nicky pushups....
curse may not be the correct word but that weight class for whatever reason seemed to achieve less then all the others under Cael for a stretch
either way... Luke and Landon has our trajectory there pointed sharply in a positive direction!
