These 4 young men are all STUDS. I would love to see Lockett (super slick) and DeLuca (Metcalf 2.0) in an Iowa singlet. Really any or all of these guys would be an excellent signing. Go Hawks!
At least your intent was honorable.
Make sure Telford is ready. He's our go-to closer for top-10 guys.
He probably didn't talk to any of them on the phone, ever. These are only Tom Brands calls. That's why they are so interested.
Wait, so when an Olympic gold medalist and renowned head coach calls, kids take notice?
That’s an interesting strategy
Nothing hurts having Telford call them either but that doesn’t stop the Cesspool.
Recruiting calls get split up between staffs it happens everywhere. The head coaches have plenty of time to build the relationship it's the 1st contact.
William Henckel posted some recruiting weekend pictures on Instagram. One is of his sister Sarah and him. She’s a national level recruit, sophomore at Blair. First package deal of the Women’s program era?

Wish we could clone Tom, we could cover twice the ground if there were two of them……
Exactly - not like we can have 2 light weight world champs on the same coaching staff. Unheard of.
If I were to pick my top 3 on that list I would say Henkel, DeLuca and Torres. Hoping for the best but I would really like those 3 guys
Cause why would we need two Cadet world champs?
You really want to hear the recording? "Had a great visit. Everything was wonderful".
Bro, you need to watch Lockett wrestle… slick as a whistle
Ain't getting him.
All the others are a definitely possibility. I think Blaze ends up a 133. So definitely take both Deluca and him if we can. Henckel positionally sound (typical blair guy) and Torres is a tough kid. wrestles really well in non-traditional positions and scrambling.
Maybe so.. Take it for what its forth but his parents seemed like they would like him to leave Stillwater and go elsewhere for college (or at least are not pushing for him to go to OKSt) when I spoke with them last year at Big 12's. I think Iowa is in play.
He's definitely said he's taking his visits and taking them seriously. But I just don't see how they lose him.
Thanks for the update. keep any other info coming!!
I do believe that this was his 2nd or 3rd time up here. He has familiar faces in the room ..it would not shock me if he came here. A lot of factors in play. But yea, there is definitely the OSU hurdle to clear.
Has there been any speculation or news on Chris Perry’s future at OSU with the hiring of Coleman Scott?
I also believe that he is good buddies with Angelo Ferrari, correct?
I would just like to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread and kept it about the subject. There seem to only be about 3 threads on this site that aren't radioactive, and i was about ready to give up all hope on the cesspool
