Penn State just signed Grey Burnett hes another 125 pounder..They signed a NY kid too who is a future `125er and a very tough kid Soto from Newburgh i think hes still too small for 125 but very strong and I think 2 or 3 time NY champ..Penn State is log jammed
i saw something about burnettā¦
this new crop of guys are the first round of wrestlers i just have no connection to in the last 15 yearsā¦ donāt know any of them and do not have the energy to try and find about them until they start making national teamsā¦

what about Forrest ? hes probly above both ?
i put forrest a super close 3rd to lilledahlā¦
lilledahl is the only american male to take U17, U20, and U23 goldā¦ that means somethingā¦
plus, forrest benefits from a super odd body type for his weightā¦ he has learned how to use that length with that nasty slide-bye that no one thinks they can get hit with at the angles jax can hit itā¦ i really want to see where he ends up weight wise when he is full grownā¦
blazeās style and the power he can generate from that exaggerrated stance is crazy and will work no matter where he eventually ends upā¦
this is all nit picking hereā¦ all 3 are absolute hammersā¦

Blaze is a beast without a doubt and I love watching Luke (and Mitchell) wrestle. Before itās all over, Duke may be the best of the bunch.

seniors should be real interesting once these PSU guys age out of the minor leagues and have to start wrestling each otherā¦

Jaxson Joy manhandled Kaleb Larkin with a TD and then 3 separate cradles for the 15-0 TF in 1st period. Pretty impressive win for him.

i really do not know much about Joy, but, did raise my eyes at that resultā¦
the only time i have watched Joy is when Bassett abused him last monthā¦
