New wrestling commit??
- Thread starter HailToPitt71
- Start date
State champ at 170 in Ohio last year in D2 (3 total divisions in OH). Was state semifinalist as Fr/So.
Other guy is Jack Davis from Wyoming Seminary
#14 at 138 (Matthews is #4 at 138). I've always liked Davis - placed 5th in 2016 at greco cadet worlds. They are really loading up in the 141/149 range unless they think some of these kids are really gonna grow into 157s, or that Davis could be a 133 (he wrestled 58 Kg last year at worlds)
The WPIAL went 1, 2, 3, 4 at AAA states last year at 285. Two are back for their senior years. Cole Rickert from Reynolds will be a freshman this year.
Recruiting seems to be going very well ...... and the team should improve nicely in the near future which should mean larger crowds ..... I'm hoping for the day that the matches draw enough fans that we have to hold them in the Petersen Events Center.
That’s just where they ranked him. I bet he’s at 132 at some point, but who knows. I’m pretty sure he wrestled 132 at NE Rgionals last year but can’t recall for sure.
Crawford was very impressive on video. Has the killer instinct. A pinner. The only issue I have with him is that at least in the videos he only appears to have one takedown move. He will have to be more versatile in college.
In one tourney he beat the same wrestler twice. He beat the kid early and then the kid made it through the wrestle-backs and met him again. In the two matches, he had 11 takedowns against the kid. He initiated 9 of them — all with that one move. The other two came off counters. The other kid had to know what move was coming, but he just couldn’t stop it.
He is not real tall. I doubt he has the frame to wrestle above 165 or 174 in college. Unless he has a growth spurt.
