The #1 recruiting class is Iowa, and the top two recruits for Iowa are from PA. Pitt can have a top ten class with better local (PA and OH) recruiting. We are not far away.
Iowa has two recruits from PA, but only 1 of them is in their top two. That is Lee.The #1 recruiting class is Iowa, and the top two recruits for Iowa are from PA. Pitt can have a top ten class with better local (PA and OH) recruiting. We are not far away.
There are either 28 or 30 state champions in wrestling in PA because there are two divisions, 2A and 3A, and either 14 or 15 weight classes I think. So the bottom line is we signed ZERO state champions. And, that is encouraging why?
In his first class, Peters signed 3 PIAA champions and an Ohio and Wisconsin state champion just by way of comparison.
Right: 14 weight classes times two different divisions, 2A and 3A, equals 28 champions. Do you think signing zero of 28 PIAA champions is a recruiting job well done? And Peters may have started recruiting this class but he was gone before they signed LOIs. The point is that the OP called this a promising start for Gavin. He gets credit -- and deserves it -- for keeping these guys from bolting by asking to be released from their LOIs, but this class is not ranked in the top 25 by either Intermat or Flo Wrestling. Next year, it will be his class, but this class, on paper, doesn't give him a great deal to work with and I would not classify it as a promising start. He will have trouble beating any ACC team other than Duke next season. That was my point.

Agreed but PITT wont get to # 2 until they begin to get the PA kids interested in PITT early on.Those rankings are for recruits from PA. Those are not national rankings for individuals or for teams. We are # 5 only for PA recruiting. We should be # 2 only behind PSU.
I think the jeannette kid was offered
No you are correctDid they recently offer Sanders? Or am I misunderstanding you?
No you are correct
Thank you for clarifying, heck of an athlete I feel the sky is the limit for him if he just would concentrate of wrestling
Missed his senior seasonI thought that he was going to a prep school for football. He is a talented wrestler, and may be too small for football in the long run. I had a chance to hang out with Jordan Leen for a while at freestyle states, and he was telling someone else how this staff understands that there are potential star wrestlers that did not win high school states for one reason or another. Sanders placed higher than Keith Gavin ever did in high school. If they see the talent, they will research the intangibles.
Rodriguez 125 pounder from Ohio State just came on the market. Pipe dream but would anyone be opposed to giving Patrick Downey a shot? Dismissed from Iowa State and probably won't be allowed back but who knows with their new head coach
Who is thinking about transferring in?
When do you think he'll announce? Thanks.I always prefer to let the guys announce it on their own. I wouldn't wanna steal somebody's thunder.

Started getting into wrestling when my friends kid started his high school career. Question, do they have a loi day like in other sports??? THANKS!!!
