CalWrestler Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Chris Bono tweeted today that its It is a great day to be badger ! This is his code that he has made a noteworthy signing. Robert Snider then retweeted after "Best news ever after a 6 mile run!" The biggest name high school targets have been Koy Hopke and Angelo Ferarri who took a recent visit. Anyone think Hopke or Ferarri could be on their way to Madison? Of course, Messenbrink, Nagao or Shane Griffith would be big fish too, but not sure if any of them were considering the Badgers. It also could be pure hype and be a lesser name. Any thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scourge165 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'd assume Angelo before Hopke at this point. I think Messenbrink or Griffith are LONG shots and not sure Nagao would go from Minnesota to Wisconsin. The best news for Wisconsin WOULD be Hopke though. So if it's really the "best news ever," in terms of recruiting, it'd be Hopke. I'd just be surprised if he made his decision before he took his other visits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxhawk174 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Angelo is still taking his Iowa visit sometime in May. Cancelled his ISU visit, not sure if Rutgers visit is still on or not. I would be shocked if it was him committing to the Badgers, and extremely frustrated if I'm being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Griffith said in an article that he is still finishing his Master's and is still taking visits so I don't think that he would announce yet. On a separate note, was cool to see HIlger win the Medal of Honor award. Good for him. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I would guess he does this for every commit. Does he really distinguish between the "big" commits and lessor hyped ones? That would be odd and kind of disrespectful to not be hyped after someone, regardless of recruiting ranking, just made a major life decision to come wrestle for you.

I would not call it great IMO these are the type of things that do not play well in Bono's favor, Badger fans immediately think its Hopke or Messinbrink, or Griffin, and It is Shane Liegel with one year of eligibility left, maybe 2 and don't get me wrong he is a great kid, but not what most people were hoping for with the Hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopke has Wisconsin listed first in his top 5, Angelo has Iowa listed first in his top 5, and his brothers are going there, so presumably it's going to be Hopke to Wisconsin, Angelo to Iowa. Anything else you see is speculation at this point. I'll be shocked if the Ferrari clan doesn't stick together after what they have been through collectively.

Thats been their modus operandi to all move to one location and by doing so they are 3x to 5x more likely to create a problem. Big AJ is the problem, who's gonna watch him?

If i'm big AJ I put all 3 boys in 1 location where I can watch em, with a hawk eye, pun intended I think we're more likely to see Kueter at 197 lbs for Iowa next season than AJ. I say that because unless the charges are dropped, or he is offered a plea to a lesser non-sexual offense (I doubt the University would admit him with any sex crime hanging over his head), he will be headed to a Jury trial, and I doubt he fares well in that scenario. He would have to be acquitted at trial by a jury, or there would have to be at least one holdout (could be wrong on that). My point being, if we're looking at probability, as it stands right now the odds are very low he see's a college mat, let alone Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by chance we do land him who does he roll with in the wrestling room at Wisconsin to make sure he continues to improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
