He's announcing tomorrow and deserves his own thread. What weight does he project in college?
Jax
- Thread starter acuhawk
- Start date
I think he will start at 141 and move up from there in the Hawkeye lineup
I'm going with OSU, worked out well last time . 141 to start and probably 149 by the end.

I went with the underdog last time and it worked out, so why not again?
I don’t think Taylor would have left without a pretty good feeling that Jax was his. I would like to be wrong.
There’s also a large part of me that wants the Raney bros more than Jax. I think if we get Jax and Bo that we wouldn’t get the Raneys squared.
P.s. if you can, make the votes visible in your poll. I like to see what others think.
To play devil's advocate, DT doesn't have any other option but to leave, right?
Unless he's moving back and living in Jax's front yard.
(BTW I know exactly what you mean)
I would agree with you other than I think they could all 4 fit in the lineup between 133-157 in 2 or 3 years (Deluca at 125).
Changed it to be able to view results without voting. However, I can't see how to make users votes visible.
That's my hope as well. And with Olympic redshirts and such coming up again, there might be spots to fill anyway. Then Miller at 165, Gabe at 174, Angelo 184, Harvey 197, Kueter/Mocco Hwt and they'd be set up pretty well for the forseeable future.
I mean having all of them would be one hell of a problem to have. And you could be right that all of them fit into a lineup. That would be one hell of a lineup.
I’ve been an Iowa fan my whole life, it just seems like that’s too much of a good thing. Like when Iowa looked like back to back champs but Covid turned that into a technicality rather than a reality. Same deal with Spencer being a four timer or Bull finally getting over the hump.
Take it to another sport. Iowa winning the rose bowl then Christian McCaffery happened or Ronnie Harmons fumbles happened.
If there was ever a sport where to much of a good thing would be possible it would be wrestling. I’m cautiously optimistic, but the years of Iowa fandom have taught me to temper my expectations.
I think since we were sitting well with him prior to Bo, coupled with him turning right around two days later and making a commitment of his own, things bode well for us!
I appreciate the effort. I wish I could help ya but I’m a millennial trapped in a baby boomers technological mind.
i don't see jax to iowa,never got the vibe he was part of bo package deal. i hope i'm wrong. this kid is to much of a stud and is kind of in bos shadow.besides he wrestles just like taylor.imo,but i am always wrong
Curious if the PSU meltdown will be the same if OSU is Jax's choice? If the Hawks, it will be Kevorkian level!
I'm just going to assume Oklahoma State this way I can either be prepared or pleasantly surprised. Don't worry, I haven't asked anybody, lol, this is totally in my own head.
He said Iowa first. I’m gonna take this information and completely over react to it!!!
It's very possible that Tom made a 2 commitment 1 flight deal?
2 for 1.....!?
DT riding his horse back to Oklahoma?

I don’t think psu is completely out of this. Ohio State is the only school of the 4 that I would be shocked to hear. Gut says he’s a cowboy, but I have ZERO inside info.
no inside info, just my logical reasoning here
Jax probably will be 65kg for international wrestling long-term.
tOSU has Mendez
PSU has bartlet (not sure his freestyle ambitions), Van Ness (same?), Nick Lee (Is he still planning to compete?), Retherford (is he still competing?). Blaze probably eventually grows into 65kg as well.
Iowa now has Bo (I presume Jax has inside info where Bo plans to go long-term, I'm not sure he will get big enough for 74 kg)
OKST not sure who they have at 65 kg.
Oklahoma st has good practice partners around the weight, but he doesn't;t have to practice against people he would be competing with for the spot.
Oklahoma St was rumored to be a favorite of his before DT
He obviously has a DT connection
I would love to be wrong here. but I think he goes to Oklahoma St

Not a package deal with Bo. I think they both independently choose Iowa.
It was alphabetical until Ohio state, so obviously Ohio state is out. Or it’s a misdirect and his choice is obviously Ohio State.
On this post on X, i posted lfg, trifecta, n within 5 minutes last night jax liked it.
I'm tuning into Flo just like I did for Bo. Hopefully it was good luck tuning into the Bo announcment and it will replicate tomorrow! LOL!
I felt so confident with Bo, that I voted early. This one I just can't and I don't want to jinx it. But, I do like McMullen's post on X. I will stay cautiously optmistic just because of that post!
A like from the HWC on Flo’s post for Jax’s announcement, could be something.
Well I could put them in instead of penn state. I've heard that the cult is out even though they offered 3xs more than osu, and 5xs more than us.
that has to be true... lets go post it all over twitter
