So the #1 and #2 195 lbers in the country are both at Bergen now? What are they gonna do, flip a coin?
Fast cars on the move
- Thread starter nerfstate
- Start date
The last line is very strange. Not to mention the 2nd to last paragraph.
Taken together with singling out the Foca family for helping, and maybe Rob Koll is in their future?
Maybe moving up weights was unanticipated and could affect where they go. But I'm probably 80% wrong.
Eh, I think AJ is talented enough to compete at whatever weight for the time being. Just seems like a courtesy. Probably right back down to 195 once Cardenas graduates.
Yeah, they'd be labeled "do not recruit" instantly at any school I was coaching.
Another thought on that last line:
The Ferraris live in PA. Commute to Blair was only 15 min each way, largely rural.
However, commute to Bergen Catholic is at least 1:15 each way if they're lucky, with much of it NYC suburban traffic. And only AJ being old enough to drive.
Unless one of the parents works in that direction, good possibility they'll be weekend commuter students, spending weeknights at some teammate's house and weekends at home. (Maybe that's why they singled out the Focas?)
That could dramatically alter their approach to recruiting. In their (parents') position, I would restrict recruiting to the offseason when the kids are home. Official visits as early in the fall as possible. Partly to control the process, partly to not impose on a host family.
Process changes often impact process results.
"The boys may be going up a weight (or 2 or 3). We didn’t think it was right to disrupt the lineup in the middle of the year and try to take the spot of nationally ranked wrestlers"
This would be interesting to see. AJ is a very big HS Jr 197 who may still be growing and has a lot of room on his frame.
I think that is where he will protect in College after 2-3 more years anyway. I would like to see what he can do at heavy now. He may end up looking like a Cassar/Kirk type heavy which seems to be the trend these days anyway. Let him and Seth battle it out.

The account is named Ferrari Brothers, but the words are in someone else’s voice. Is it Mom or Dad who is writing?
Anyhow, the text hints that the boys were fighting for truth justice and the American way. Sounds good to me. I like defenders of the weak. Restart the FULL COURT PRESS!

I'd guess Blair is canceling mostly to avoid having the Fast Cars compete *against* them, but this take from Clovis, CA Coach Tirapelle is also interesting.
I'm not saying Cael wouldn't take A.J. if he fell in his lap, but I will be surprised if he is a priority recruit. Beard looks like a machine to my eyes and a guy with the athletic talent to keep getting better. Snacks actually will be better than his brother imo even though I hate sounding like Spyker (or fake Spyker I can't remember). I think Cael will look really hard for that 149/157 type recruit in that class and the next need would be frosting as the roster is talented top to bottom. The guys grey shirting this year are quite the bounty.
That looks good in theory until looking at available names. The only top 2020 guy in that range is probably Saunders. After that, nobody really stands out -- next best is maybe Lackman from Beca?
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Cael saves up for 2021 -- Facundo, Van Ness, and Herrera among others.
Would you assume C Manville would also be a target?
Yes, missed him somehow. Idiot pills kicked in early this morning.
I understand. I was fairly worried our (ISU) recruit Ryan Anderson would end up squarely in Cael's radar. I think he is going to be a really good one and can't wait to watch him up close. We could use a few more PA boys if you guys can spare any.
I don’t know, T&T think they are 2nd in line.
I meant PA guys that don't want to be made to hate wrestling.
Maybe I'm missing something but do we even know for sure they were expelled, or just assuming that? Also not aware that we know anything about how long or short the leash was.
I have to agree with your assessment. Seth has the goods to be better than Nick. The biggest challenge being a loaded class where top 4 will be really hard to achieve. Gable, Paris, Cassiopi, Kervliet...
The kid is super talented and huge. I am firmly in the camp this kid grows out of 197 and becomes a heavy.
So the questions are, will his temperment be a fit, and less about Beard and more about Seth? He has the frame to be Cassar like in build. He is still a Jr. In highschool and he looks big and powerful, and he is dominating almost everyone.
I believe that Gable it an abberration. Once a decade you get someone that big who is still extremely athletic. So GS aside I think we see a trend toward many more 230-250 max guys. Snyder was the trend setter and Cassar and to a lesser extent White are proving the point.
I agree Seth has the stuff to be better than big bro if not physically already, but I don't see him beating Gable. I doubt Gable will lose again vs anyone not named Cassar. Seth will also have a tough time vs the new wave of athletic guys once they mature.
AJ with 25 lbs of muscle is a very scary thought. I am 100% sold on his body, attitude on the mat and athleticism being finalist material in 2-3 years. I don't know anything about what's going on between the ears or if he is a personally fit for Cael's program, but if we pass that may be why. From where I stand now I think we need to go after him big time.
With the new transfer rules what's so bad about being in the best room in the country for a year as a red shirt, let the best man win, and the second best will be pressured vigorously by most of the rest of the country.

Not to be that guy (and by that i mean a dick) but can you elaborate or confirm that your sources are not from the Rutgers wrestling forum? Because this exact same conversation happened on Saturday in their forum. TIA
Presuming this is true, then they're likely headed to OKST.
Since they're basically down to OKST and Rutgers -- if they wanted Rutgers and were attending school in NJ, why return to Dallas instead of establishing NJ residency?
(Yes, AJ also mentioned PSU and OSU as finalists, but both were pretty obviously afterthoughts.)

Until late February, when a "hard slide" of the lineup will occur, bumping him down to 57.So it looks like AJ will be wrestling 74 in college.
