ANY chance they are still a package deal, to any school? They seem to show each other lots of love on twitter and the connection has been there forever...
Hidlay and Sasso!?
- Thread starter Hawkeye4Life78
- Start date
I believe he has a redshirt available and 2 years to compete.
If Lugo could give us two good years out of the gate Sasso would be positioned well to take over that spot.
You scared he rooms with Hoagie and Teske?
It's possible I sure do hope Sasso is thinking of the Hawks.
Take 5 Troll
I agree in theory, but I think most of these kids want to know they're starting 4 years. I know Penn State has an embarrassment of riches, but that's not everybody.
I'm not trolling, I just know that the Hawks aren't in it for Sasso.. Chill..
can you Enlighten us on how you know that? Are we just supposed to take your word for it random Message Board person?
FWIW, I've been told the same by the parent of a current recruit.
Lets just accept the fact we probably won't be getting Sasso, and move forward scouting out 2019 potential 149 lb recruits. That way we can avoid any faux outrage when he chooses somewhere else, and we don't have to hear the same tired argument about how 'we missed out on a lifetime hawkeye fan who's a top 15 guy, our coaches aren't doing anything on the recruiting trail!'. The coaches are choosing to put their eggs in a different basket, while I would love to have Sasso, I think Hidlay is a bigger need this class. Lugo gives us flexibility.

I know there's been dialogue with Rider, but have no clue on the level of interest from either side.
Potential 2019 149 lb recruits:
#10 Theorius Robison (CO) - 141/149
#12 Kevon Davenport (MI) - 149/157
#14 Michael Weber (MT) - 149
#18 Ryan Vulakh (PA) - 149
#32 Sam Dover (OH) - 149/157
Do we keep the PA Connection alive for (hopefully) the 5th consecutive recruiting class with Vulakh?

Unfortunately it doesn't look like we're getting a 33 pounder with this class which we absolutely need unless murin finds a way to make it next year and it also doesn't look like we're getting a 49 unless something happens with rider, which yeah we don't need a 49 that bad when you look at us having Lugo still when these kids would be coming out of their redshirt years but the class of 19 is significantly weaker than this class and have very few proven guys. They're are some guys with potential though and obviously guys will improve and prove themselves this year.
Class of 19 133 recruits
Dylan d'emilo#42 absolute stud, watched him in a video recently taking it to little McKee in a live go. was a big time kid in this class early on but took some loses and dropped down, I think he'll be able to hang with any 33 recruits in this class including guys like Decatur.
Jordan crace#24 obviously well coached coming from graham and must have some connection with the bull, he's a solid kid with good wins over cali champ belton and 2 illinois studs Travis ford melton and Dominic Zaccone and lost an o.t match to super stud freshman Carson manville
Matt olguin#23 former cali champ, very long and technically sound has wins over Bryce andonian, nico Aguilar, and Flores of north view who is also good. Would also be good to have a connection with Buchanan.
Andrew alirez#15 don't know much about him but he took 3rd at Fargo and 5th the year before with wins over guys like Peyton Robb and theorius Robison and he's a Colorado kid and the good thing about those type of kids are they typically have a lot of room to grow.
Jacob Lindsey#94 very under the radar kid but he's a illinois state champ and i think he can compete with just about anyone. I like other illinois kids a bit more like Travis ford melton and Noah Surrin but both are probably 25 pounders.

149 recruits class of 19
Michael Weber #15- Montana kid so should have a lot of room to grow, was a finalist in Greco and freestyle at Fargo(winning Greco) very good defensively but in the freestyle final seemed to really struggle to get anywhere close to a leg which is the #1 thing that worries me about a recruit but he probably hasn't had top level coaching so hopefully he'll be able to fix that in the future.
Theorius Robison #10- Colorado kid with a ton of potential. Was a super stud coming into high school but took some loses and now is making his way back torwards the top. Has good wins over Gary joint, Jakob Camacho, gave hixenbaugh and Andrew alirez.
Kevon danvenport #12- Michigan kid who was a lot of fun to watch at Fargo where he took 1st in Greco and 2nd in freestyle losing a close one to Fidel mayora from illinois who we should definitely keep our eye on.
Ryan vulakh #18- the more pa kids the better. Flo nationals finalist with wins over guys like Moises guillen
Anthony ulaszek #84- another kid from the fastly rising Colorado, don't know much of him but he did Pin Sammy sasso and Fidel mayora in freestyle but than didn't place at Fargo so he's a big question mark
Sam Dover#38- couldn't hurt to have a st.eds kid, he's also a bit of a question mark with some very good wins mixed in with some not so great losses but he has wins of tanner literell who pinned murin at the dapper dan, gabe townsell, Dylan thurston, and Anthony ulaszek.
Another thing that could be looked into is zack donathan who is going to Lincoln college this year, he's a flonats champ and iron man champ and is very impressive. He has wins over vulakh, renteria, Moore, jimmy pawelski, and willits

Great writeups on prospective 133 and 149 recruits. Nice to see a little more information on some of these guys, and get info on some of the more under the radar guys you've watched. Thanks for the info.
I'm curious, how do you feel Robert Howard(2020) stacks up against the 2019 crop of 133 prospects?
Someone mentioned in one of these threads that Iowa will get a #133 transfer next year. Is this reality or wishful thinking? If so, who?
I took it as hot air and then implying Suriano, I could be wrong but that is how it came off to me. So likely nothing to it as they never eliborated.
Huge fan of Matt Olguin. I've only seen him wrestle about 10 matches, but he jumps off the screen to me. He's going to be good.
FWIW - I've heard Iowa is in VERY good shape with Hidlay.
But don't take my word for it. I'm just a random Message Board person.

Howard has more potential than any of the 2019 prospects at 33 so I would take him normally if I had choice but we neeed a 33 in the 2019 class bad so im hoping we can get after Dylan d'emilio or Matt olguin who I think have the most potential out of the 2019 class at 33
Talked to Hidlay for quite a while when he was here. He is a very well spoken young man, liked him a lot.he said he was enjoying everything about his visit and liked how the hawks wrestled...fwiw.

Hidlay is very much down to NCST and Iowa. If his brother wasn't at NCST I'm fairly confident Iowa would be running away with it.
I believe I saw the kid that Hidlay just beat at WON named his top 3 and Lehigh was involved. I know they were in Hidlays as well but maybe they've mutually moved on? Enlighten me if I am wrong.
Also: I know hidlay said he was still visiting schools, notably Lehigh and NC State, has that happened yet?

Flo has JRam as a 165, but he has 2-3 years before he hits a college lineup, So I think it will be more like 74
If Hidlay chooses Iowa I could see his RS year at 74 and then 84 as a RSF. Similar to how Young did it last year at 65 and now at 74.
I think Rameriz is a 165 to start and maybe finishes a 174 and Hidlay to start at 174 and go up to 184.
