Who is still left on the board as far as big targets that we are rumored to be in on?
2025
#1 @ 138 Marcus Blaze OH (between Iowa, PSU, tOSU, Michigan, and Cornell it seems - along with Purdue with big bro)
#2 @ 165 Ladarian Lockett OK (seems ISU is the other main suitor, and I'm sure OSU is trying hard to retain him)
#4 @ 144 Dorian Olivarez TX (staff is aware of him, not sure if he's interested in college wrestling - talented BJJ prospect)
2026
#2 @ 215 Dreshaun Ross IA (Kueter replacement)
#1 @ 144 Bo Bassett PA
#1 @ 132 Jax Forrest PA
#5 @ 138 Sam Herring PA
#7 @ 126 Jayden Raney KY
#5 @ 132 Jordyn Raney KY
#6 @ 215 Michael Mocco FL (Another option if Ross goes Football route?)
I'm sure there are others Iowa is interested in, just drawing a blank. Any other notable 2026ers from Iowa?

Not phenomenal prospects but would be good room/depth guys.
I would love to see the Hawks land the Raney brothers, Blaze, and Bassett. 3 of those 4 (all 4 would be lightning in a bottle) paired with Deluca and Block would leave the Hawks stout from 125-149 for the near future with a little wiggle room for injuries and guys not meeting expectations.
Brayden Koester could be one to watch, he knocked off #12 overall Nick Singer twice this summer (once in Greco), won Fargo.
I'd also throw in Disalvo, Landers, Youngbloudt, Broedy Hendricks, and Maximus Dhabolt. These are some of the best in state recruits from that class along with Koester. I would also include Schwab but its pretty obvious where he will go. I believe Youngloudt and Landers train at immortals as well. The Iowa 2027 class is the best class in a long time imo.
Hard to beat iowas class 2 years ago. Kueter, Block, Nate, Tate, Kale, and Gabe if you want to count him.
I think that was a very good class but I stand by the 2027 class. They already have a world teamer, multiple fargo national champs, and alot of fargo AA's. To go with the 7 names already mentioned, Porter, Spurgeon, Crosson, Christoffer, Prine, Fullhart, Fuerbach, Wiele, Mehlert, Casey, Wallukait, Courter, Wignail, Christensen, and so many more. I think this class could have the most D1 prospects in a very long time. They are very deep.
My prediction is that Melvin Miller ends up top 3 pfp in the class of 27 out of PA. Rolls around with Bo Bassett in his basement regularly.
I think he’s already #1 PFP in his class. He’s already ranked PFP in the overall hs board.
A very few of us PSU fans aren’t really interested in a guy so involved in social media self promotion.
it’s gonna cost you a subscription to Bo’s social channel to find out. Info isn’t free any more.
Parties much more informed than I are very optimistic about Bo and Keegan. We will be in the thick of it til the end for sure.
Those parties say anything about Dreshaun or the Raney twins?
Verrette is a hammer. McMullen is a depth guy but would probably never make the lineup. He did not place at states in Pennsylvania last year and has not really done much at any national event besides US Open this spring. Joe Bachmann, Melvin Miller, and Landon Sidun all from PA are the ones they should go after. I think Youngbloudt could help the Hawkeyes down the line.
Keegan Bassett is class of 2028. Him and Mario Hutcherson should be the top 2 that Iowa should be going after in 2028 class.
I agree. There are some names on that list that are good but really not top of the chain blue chip recruits.
What do these smooth brained PSU geeks find funny about this?
Btw, I will wager with ANY PSU here that Bo doesn’t attend PSU if you can find time between lurking here, canning farts, and finger popping each others assholes.
Gobblin they don't want Bo. He's too much of a distraction and has already peaked, screams narcissist
Ahh. Giggling as a coping mechanism…. I hear they’re glad they didn’t land Spencer also.😂 Such a group of hardos.Gobblin they don't want Bo. He's too much of a distraction and has already peaked, screams narcissist
Jax and Blaze will be a consolation that PSU fans will somehow have to live with...
Wouldn’t count on Jax either.Jax and Blaze will be a consolation that PSU fans will somehow have to live with...
We will. We'll have to make some training assurances - but the Iowa brand is a big draw.
I think the final 3 will be:
PSU
OSU
tOSU
I'm a bit confused, we will be in the thick of it till the end? But we're not in the final three?
You will know where Melvin Miller is going based on where Bo chooses. Remember they are cousins(more like brothers) and Bill Bassett raises Melvin as his own. No way they will split up. So if the Hawks land Bo then good chance Melvin is coming the following year.
One of my all time favorite lines. I may even use it daily and I'm proud to do so. Well done!
The day we start losing recruiting battles to Illinois for lightweights, is when I’ll really start to worry about the direction we’re taking.
It's going to be legitimately close. They LOVE Medlin.
and they're head coach being a Illini alum is not in our favor either.
Love me some shy, retiring Gobblin! When will Bouzakis be arriving to Iowa City?😉
