Dreshaun Ross

Huge pickup for Taylor. I was surprised to see him commit outside the state of Iowa. For those that have followed him, how has he done against other high level guys? Has he faced the likes of Correa, the Merrills, the Mirasolas, Mocco, Sahakian, etc?

I saw one tournament he lost to Connor Mirasola. He has won a load of events as well

If Taylor is recruiting him, he must have the skills.   
 

or he doesn’t want coaches running around flipping refs off or throwing their shoes.

My money says that Taylor promised to not throw any chairs at refs or let his wrestlers kick challenge bricks on the biggest stage.

He teched yiannis brother twice in the cadet trials finals and the Elijah went on to get bronze at cadets because of Dreshauns injury only losing to the champ 7-6 (genos brother or nephew). Eli notably lost in the state finals to Ryder 3-0 not a big margin of victory guy but if you want to extrapolate out to current college guys. Someone noted there was nothing related to football in his commitment which I would think may mean he's all in on wrestling now. Not that okie state is not a good football program but that would also make sense as to why he chose there over ISU or Iowa.

Ok State football went from perennial Big 12 title contender to winless in the conference last season. Gundy is in trouble (contract restructure, pay cut). I hope this kid gets no where near a Cowboy football field. With a history of shoulder issues I can't see Taylor would be for it.

He has more than skill. He has the build too. Since his freshman year too. He’s a beast

Wow wow huge loss for state of Iowa.  Big reflection on coaching staff.

Thanks, I was about to ask about this. I wonder if he'll give football a try as a walk-on, though. Roster caps may prevent him from doing so, but getting a little taste of collective $ could be a motivating factor.

Kid looks like a dog, though I have questioned the lineup fit (not the skills fit) for Iowa given the Kueter of it all.  I think the Mocco brothers are more of a fit, IMO.  Doesn't mean I think they'll be better than Ross, again, the kid is an absolute animal.

Two posts on the same subject 4 posts apart.  The Bit is strong.

One of his recruiting graphics had an OSU football helmet on. Not sure if that means anything.
