Who is next for recruiting?
- Thread starter hawknut
- Start date
Holes suck. I would assume the highest p4p is the next recruit. PSU is done owning the recruiting battles, I've cashed in my 401k and I'm giving Gable a full ride.
Strong rumor that we've got '49/'57lb help coming in the form of another Pennsylvania Young Gun.
I don't know, but he is #8 on Flo's 2018 big board, and is listed at 138, so I was just hoping...
Sasso is from the eastern part of PA, and YG's in the western part I believe.
He's not a blow your doors off type recruit, but a tough kid who would fit in very well here. Robert Patrick from Ligonier Valley HS. Currently listed at 160lbs. 2 of his best friends are current Hawks and they've given indication that he may be joining them soon. Real smart kid who will look at the Stanfords and Harvards as well I'm sure.
I believe someone mentioned him over the summer as well, possibly was you. I looked him up and I liked his scrappiness. He's a tall drink of water against most everyone he wrestles, he would be like a DSJ type if he went 157, although I don't ever see him making 149.
So maybe a guy who can get academic money and keep money for bigger recruits?
Leo Wikal? Never came to fruition.Trained with the team and HWC for a couple off seasons and tried joining the team, but there were several hang ups with getting proper documentation, transfer papers, and I think even becoming a US citizen. Not 100% sure if those details. I know several past members of the team are still close friends with him. He was a pretty wild dude from some of the out of the room stories I got.
Based on what I'm seeing on this kid's resume, he wouldn't be getting scholarship money anyway. That's not to be mean--always happy to have a kid so dedicated such as this.
Jack Jessen would be a great pickup. Another poster on here said that he heard some info Jessen may be leaning Stanford but he doesn't know whether the info was reliable or not. Would be cool if we could pick him up. FLO has him #30 on the class of 2018 big board, and I just went to watch some of his matches, he looks pretty tough.

I've watched Jessen several times over here in Illinois. He's always looked great - except when he's wrestled Warner. Warner makes him look bad. But he's a tough kid and would definitely be an asset.
