I heard they are in Iowa City this weekend?
Raneys update
- Thread starter lrtbahawk
- Start date
The coaching staff doesn’t appear to have gone on vacation after a long season.
Neither has our janitor...he's on it.
They have stated in a more recent interview that they see themselves as 149/157.
https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12671737-jordyn-and-jayden-raney-recruiting-update
From the article = "While many questions remain unanswered in the Raney Brothers' recruiting process, one thing is certain, they're a package deal. Jayden could end up at 141 lbs or 149 lbs, and Jordyn believes he'll be at 149 lbs or 157 lbs."
The article was from summer 2024.
No chance they get that big that quickly. I could see them growing into those weights…possibly.
Maybe they threw those weights out there in case they go to Penn State — no doubt they could get that big, that quickly!
What’s quickly. They still have a year left in high school could be two seasons before they hit a lineup.
Maybe, but 133 sounds very unlikely. If they redshirt, that's 3 years from now. Maturity plus college weight room and I don't doubt their guess.

High school juniors wrestling 132 and 138 going at 133 and 141 two years later isn’t totally crazy but it does feel at least somewhat unlikely.
I guess my joke wasn’t that good if it went over too many heads. In other words, I can see Raney getting to 157 at Penn State and only at Penn State. I figured this would trigger the PSU trolls
We aren't getting the Raneys so we have no dog in this fight. I take them at their word when they quote 149/157. I give that a 75% chance with 141/149 having a 25% chance. If they redshirt.
Why do you keep pissing on your leg and tell us it's raining? The kids themselves say they project to 149/157. Why fight so hard on this issue? They are a minimum of two year out from wrestling as a starter. What their weight is today is meaningless. I trust their opinion more than yours.
a little aggressive maybe. It’s a reasonable take. That’s like 121 lbs and they could go as true freshman in like 19 months.
when you were 16/17 did you know how big you were going to be at 20/21/22?
You probably know more about what you are going to weigh than random dudes on a message board who have never met you and probably live hundreds of miles away from you. Just saying.
Well, let’s just say most college programs are recruiting them for 133 and 141 and they have been doing this for quite some time. This not to say they won’t grow to 149 but 157 is a bit of a stretch. But, if they grow like David Taylor did — it really won’t matter because they are good enough to go whatever weight they want.
Let’s just land them and let it all fall into place

How long have they been at their current weight? How tall are they? Are they cutting much right now? Most people are fully grown going into their senior year. I think they are adopted, so what are their calculations of their future size based on? Most people and computer programs base this on genetics.
Don’t think so hard. It’s not good for you
Most people are not fully grown going into their senior year. That's balogna.

Agreed, bologna matures much faster than people.
Only Vallholl can see the future, but even he is limited to 3 days in the future..........
Not many colleges to choose from if Greco training is a high priority

Not necessarily - would really come down to Otto Black and his experience training greco in Iowa City. If he can persuade Raney this is a place you can win greco medals - we can still get them.
