Jax to Okie State...
- Thread starter Nashville_Hawkeye
- Start date
Would have loved to have had him, but he would have been gravy at this point.
congrats! wish he would have been a hawk but seems like this is where he was leaning all along. Let’s get the Raneys locked down.
I disagree. This is a loss, but not an unexpected one. On thr mat he's as good a prospect as Bo. Need the Raneys!
I guess I look at it like we get Bo, Melvin, Keegan, etc. Would it have been amazing to get Jax? Absolutely. But hell, if I had to choose I'm taking the trifecta every time. Especiailly if we end up with Raneys and Mocco.
I would have loved to have gotten him, but if Iowa gets the Raney twins I will take 3 out of the 4 stud lightweights any day. Hey, at least Happy Valley didn't get either him or Bo!
Best of luck to him, seems like a great kid with a bright future ahead of him.
Love his style and he's so fun to watch. I'll be rooting for him in all his matches except when he goes up against a Hawk. Congratulations young man on your decision.
Unbelievable that he turned down Iowa's $15 million offer to go to Okie State for just book money. 😏😏😏
Taylor and Co. got a good one. Good luck to him!

I just wanna say your change in demeanor this season is palpable and greatly appreciated.
Yeah 2023 whose number one, Forrest won 18-15 in overtime. It was hell of a match and worth a watch.
I originally thought Raneys should be our target before I found out he had interest in us. Since Raneys and Mocco have visited Oklahoma state, hopefully that pushes them our way. Both Raneys have very close loses to Jax and I feels the have more ceiling, but I was hoping to get all three. With Ben’s future unsure being a football player, Mocco is a must. Need to put full court press on all three of these guys now that the recruiting picture is clearing up. If we could only get Bo or Jax, I’m glad it was Bo, since he will bring more good recruits in the near future.
This isn’t surprising, of course I wanted him and credit to the coaching staff for getting him close. Wish him well except when he wrestles an Iowa guy, which at this point should be named Raney. Full court press on those studs now. Bring in Mocco and call it a day.
F*n State dodged a bullet by not getting Jax (or Bo).
Agree best of luck to him except when he’s facing a Hawk!! Just glad he didn’t stay out east.
Only $15 million to give? How are Iowa’s coffers so low? Is the contractor installing windows at the training center gouging you guys with change orders?
I rescind my congratulations to Taylor and co, and reissue it to the entire OK State staff EXCEPT for Thomas Gilman. That guy can shove it. 😘😘😘
Good point.
Also, this is a kid that wanted to go to Okie State for a long time...we weren't even on his radar until Tom was able to call him the first day they were allowed. That it came down to us or them showed how much his opinion changed in a short time. I really like Jax so this sucks but good luck to him.
You can’t get them all and they landed the biggest name of the bunch. I always thought Jax was the longer shot by far. Kudos to the staff for staying in the mix til the end.
If they land Bo along with either the Raneys or Mocco, let alone both, that is an A+ in recruiting regardless of Jax…
The timing could work right with Mocco as well with possible OLY redshirt. Have to imagine PSU goes hard after him
I generally don’t have a problem admitting when I’m wrong, and it was wrong of me to act like a douchebag. It doesn’t solve anything.
All signs were leading to this, good luck to him Im just Glad he did not go to happyland.
Hopefully our next guys are the Raney’s and Mocco in no particular order

Because he's an ultra talent . Just because he didn't pick Iowa doesn't change that. Don't be that guy who now acts like he's not good
Bold part depends on the person and subject matter.
So is this our version of the PSU meltdown thread over Bo?
If so, you guys really need to increase the negative comments on Jax.
"I heard Jax just went with the highest bider, 20 mil per year"
"1 million bonus for each NCAA title"

It’s crazy to me that no one has reported Jax NIL from OSU??? Apparently only Iowa gives out those numbers to the media.

It's curious to me that most of Fran's former assistants haven't found work.
