they were here for the Iowa st vs iowa dual, with that huge recruiting class. I think there were 15ish top recruits in. Dee Lockett was here on that visit.

Go football somewhere or wrestle at Penn State.

Looks like CJ Carter committed. Originally from Glenwood. Was a JUCO national champ at HWT this past season for IWCC. He had to beat the kids who place 2nd, 3rd & 4th to win that bracket. Good depth piece at HWT

Glass half full kinda guy

I could be very wrong, but I’m not sure Ross screams “Penn State” if he sticks to wrestling.

Sounds like he will be at ISU this season as he was a full qualifier out of HS, most likely will be red-shirting this year.

Gives us Schon, Herrea & Carter all as HWT options for next year. Love the roster depth KD has built here at ISU.

Could this kid possibly go 197 too? He looks lean, not sure how tall he is.

Wrestled 195 in HS, definitely seems like 197 is a possibility

I happened to see 1 or 2 matches of Carter online in HS. He stood out as tough, and strong, with a low center of gravity. If you don't subscribe but don’t often visit the Council Bluffs Nonpareil, I believe (not positive), this link is free

Might be getting a little greedy, but adding Zinkin and Olivarez to go along with Castillo would make 2025 a phenomenal class. Add in Lockett (if he truly is considering flipping) and it becomes one of Iowa State’s best classes of all time

In this day and age of college wrestling you take being greedy when you can get it.

Nothing greedy about it. What weights do those guys project at?

If anyone can pull it off, KD will.
