[JM4CY]

Just gonna leave this here for the bad man coming to Ames, IA. Glad he's a Cyclone!

There is some serious “want to” in that kid.

Read the article on the class on Cyclones.com. According to Dresser. He expects to add a few yet. Plus we are gray shirting 4 recruits. If they count in this class. Then it is top 5.

For those that following wrestling more then I, how does this class stack up nationally? It seems solid.
Go Cyclones

This class is already 3-4 depending on if you think OSU is better. tOSU & NC St. are 1 & 2 by a fairly wide margin.

Emilio Ysaguirre is class of 2022. His top 5 schools are Iowa State, Lehigh, Stanford, Cornell, & ASU

Damn. Stout list right there.

If the staff can get Emilio, that would be 3 top 30 recruits in this class. Probably would be their best recruiting class to date.

We made Emilios top 5

When will Emilios decide? Will he wait until spring? What weight class?

Willie has him projected at 149 & ranked #30 on the Big Board

I’d say it’s definitely their best class even without Ysaguirre. Getting him would make it very formidable and just the kind of class that we need. Probably the only thing that would rival it, and it’s not really a class, is when Dresser first got here. He brought in Degen and was able to convince most of the guys from KJ’s tenure to stick around, Gomez in particular.

I’m trying hard to keep expectations in line for Swiderski, but it gets harder and harder the more I watch him. He looks to have it all. Pace, conditioning, technique, speed/athleticism, mentality.

Factor in the grey shirts and that certainly appears like a very solid lineup for the future. Congrats to the coaches.

Isn’t the coaching staff recruiting him for 133?

I am not sure

Allar (Minnesota), Verkleeren (Penn St) and Ethan Smith (Ohio St) all decommitted after Jackson left, but Smith seems to be the only meaningful loss.

Hard to say those other guys would have same or worse results here. Opportunity, wrestling and strength coaching, injuries, confidence, teammates, support, girls.. a lot of variables play into results. They all had great potential.
