I assume this is wrestling? How is our class?

 

[PhilaPhans]

I'm making up star rankings, but in my view...

5 star type recruit in Stephen Glasgow
3 star in Robert Cleary
2.5 star in Shane Metzler

After next year half our team graduates and we bring in...

5 star Malcolm Robinson
3.5-4 star Billy Janzer
3.5 star Jake Benner

I was looking at rankings and once the Senior class clears out Janzer should be ranked in the top 3 in his weight class nationally.. his stock could rise dramatically his sr year.

hopfully

Janzer is a legit '4-star' kid. He beat two true hammers on his way to the championship.

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

So by my count we have 5 spots to fill for the current year (assuming 1 transfer), and 9 spots to fill the following year (assuming no transfers). Staff has a LOT of work to do.

I agree completely. His only losses this year were to Mehki Lewis of all people and I believe Mandarino at SJ Duals. Two very good semifinal/final wins vs. McLaughlin and Mandarino. He's struggled with the top kids throughout his career, but has been neck and neck with them, finally breaking through this year. I think by next year he'll grow into a completely dominant figure, which is what I'm hoping to see. And that to me would bump him to a high 4 star instead of just barely a 4 star. Either way I think he's going to be a very productive college wrestler.

And no, I've never looked at the rankings with Janzer or any of our kids. I live in Gloucester County so I get to hear about these kids a lot in the papers and online. I just go by feel.

Good write up on Janzer. Looks like he is pumped for next year. I hope he goes to some national tournaments in the off season to hit some top competition.

Now that's a good article. Kid is determined to be a sledge hammer.

Go get the #1 @ 145, Jarod Verkleeren, who was released from his NLI by ISU. Have Glasgow convince Lewis to request a release from VT & get him too. :grimace:

Anyone have recruiting info?

Are we after Kinner from Kingsway? He would make a nice 141 or 149 guy and the Van Brills probably know him being in the same area of South Jersey.

 

[PhilaPhans]

I'm not sure, since I don't know if we're necessarily recruiting his brother Trace. Robert Cleary, who we do have committed, beat Trace 2 times this year and lost to Quinn, I believe. They've also got a frosh younger brother Cheney who isn't as talented, but will likely place by the time he's a junior or senior.

Now that I've finally looked at rankings, there is only one kid above Janzer (who is #13) that is not a senior. That's what he's referring to.

I remember looking at Dave McFadden's ranking his jr year. He was ranked in the teens, same as janzer, but almost all the wrestlers ahead of him were sr due to graduate. When the next year rolled around McFadden Started ranked in the top 5 of his weight class(he is now a sr). He attended some national tournies and did well and his stock skyrocketed All the way into a top 20 class recruit. I predict a similar trajectory for Janzer actually.. have a good feeling Janzer will make an impact at RU

 

[wngarbarini]

The coaches agree as well
