2026 Big Boarders Remaining

[Indiana-Hawk-Wrestling-Fan]

There are still a lot of great wrestlers still uncommitted! Where do you think the Raney Twins, Adam Waters, and Coby Merrill land ??

Also, @Husker_Du I have heard that there is a 2026 high level commit who is opening up their commitment, is there any truth to this? Have you heard anything through the grape vines?

Also, @Husker_Du do you have any guesses where these great guys end up? Or who’s leading in their recruitment? Would love to hear your insight! 
 

My guesses are: 

Raney Twins: Iowa, Illinois, or OkieSt. 
Adam Waters: Nebraska, OkieSt., or Lehigh

Coby Merrill: Stanford, or Arizona St. 

Michael Mocco: Iowa or Ohio St.

I think Waters is criminally undervalued that kid is absolutely nails. I would throw PSU in with Mocco because of their potential need at heavy and the American top team connection.

I would be shocked if PSU is in the market for a Heavyweight when they have Cole Mirasola for the next 4 years. He is a legit threat next year after most of the Heavyweight graduate this year.

I agree, Adam Waters should be higher! He is a can’t miss recruit in my Opinion. I think he would handily beat Ludington at 190 and I love Ludington and believe he will do great at Iowa.

They don't seem worried about recruiting over guys. I don't want to over react to Coles losses this year given hes a true freshman and pretty undersized, but for a team that's always looking to widen the gap if Mocco seems like he could be better I think they will go for him.

Adam Waters to Ohio State!

I think this kid is going to be absolutely nails in college. Hope he wrestles a tougher circuit this off season, but he just killed everyone not named Ryan Foard during the high school season. His finals match was actually the first time in 3 state tournaments he has gone 6 minutes.

This class has so many talented HWY prospects; but one I feel that isn’t talked as much about is Coby Merrill. I think there’s a possibility he is better than Ross and Mocco. Does anyone have insights on where Coby may land? 
 

I don’t know anything about his recruitment; but it’s crazy if most schools aren’t knocking down his door.

Hopefully we get a Merrill-Mocco match at next year's Who's Number One. Help us out @Jon_Kozak!

we get to see all of them at u20 trials! Coby wrestled Hillger pretty close at the BF and beat Demetrius thomas so he could definitely be the best. Dreshaun has physical abilities that really set him apart but seeing him against guys more comparable to him physically will tell a lot.

Jayden James flips his commitment from VTech to PSU… this is what I alluded to earlier this month.
