Bo, Blaze, Jax - who has the best college career?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

I think all 3 will be NCAA champs, maybe even multi-time champs. 
 

Who has the best college career and how many titles (both individual and team) and Hodges do they win?

[Lleynor]

Blaze

Blaze

[Truzzcat]

Blaze (4) Individual (2) team

Jax (assuming he goes a weight that blaze is not at) (4) individual (2) team assuming Okie state

Bassett (3) Individual (0) team

[BarSeries]

Blaze: 3 individual, 4 team, 1 Hodge

Jax: 3 individual, 0 team, 0 Hodge

Bo: 2 individual, 0 team, 0 Hodge

This is surprising you think Blaze wins 4 individual but Penn State only wins 2 team titles over his college career.

Its more of hoping I think that Okie state team in 2027,2028 could be incredible if Forrest goes

Lockett,Merill,Thompson,Robideu,Vega,Forrest,Routledge,Ross all should fit in pretty seamlessly they will need a good 125.

If Ramirez can hold down the weight he should be a solid 25 pounder

I 100% do not think we see 11 individual titles between the 3. I'd say 8ish is far more likely.

11 is definitely unlikely statistically especially when you account for a chance of overlap between them. A lot of it has to do with the weights I see blaze and Forrest at. If blaze red shirts or goes 133 I just don't see who he loses to. You could definitely argue Crookham as the on-paper favorite right now but honestly if Marcus was in college this year I think he would be a favorite to make the finals. If he were to grow a lot this off season and go 141 I think he loses to Jesse. Jax has another year of high school and could red shirt. If he stays at 133 you could argue one of the Raneys could push him, they seem to give him issues stylistically but I think he's just far more complete and will refine some things defensively. Bo could potentially have Zepeda and Robideu around his weight both guys that I think can push him in college. If he opts to not red shirt he likely also has a year of shayne van ness who I would pick over him unless he has another injury setback. All this to say I can predict how guys are going to develop but assuming relative equal development across the board I don't see anyone currently in college or any guys their age/coming up at their respective weights that can push them aside from each other. I'll throw in Davino as another guy who could be an issue he has wins over Jax and Blaze and has been really impressive this season. Blaze separated himself a bit at u20's though although that's free.

I wonder what people would be saying about Bo's prospects if he had committed to a different school. Fix was widely regarded as a better prospect than Lee and went to a school that many deemed was tailor made for his style. We all know how that turned out. 

Still, based on most recent results I have to agree that Blaze is the best prospect out of the bunch. And he'll have ridiculous workout partners. I think Bo, with his gas tank, could be an absolute monster but, from the couple dozen matches I've seen of the two, I think Jax has more tools. Jax is long and looks like a guy that could grow up to 157. Maybe he struggles (relatively) until he puts on solid mass.

I believe Bo is a year older than Blaze but has 1 more year of high school. Technically Blaze has 2 years of high school eligibility left. But he will be using those 2 years at Penn State with a phenomenal coaching staff and some really good team mates. The next 5 to 6 years in college wrestling will be very exciting. I extremely glad the Covid extra years will be over.

This thread would have much different answers if he committed elsewhere last night. Just sayin..

[Husker_Du]

Paul - Blaze graduates in three ish months. not sure where you're getting '2 years of hs eligibility' 

Turk - why do you say that?

i think Blaze goes right away at 133 next year for PSU.

and two of the three, i'd imagine, overlap at certain points. 

there could certainly be some guys emerge at 149, but the current projection for the weight has Bo looking like he will have a Zain-like career. 33 and 41 is a little deeper imo. not saying Blaze and/or Jax can't match Bo's production, but that it will have more threats to traverse.

Of course it would - because I was asking about predicted individual and team success.  Different team, different results - maybe if you are a surefire 4-timer your individual results wouldn't change if you went to anyone D-1 team but certainly your team results would.
