Jax > Duke > Blaze > Bassett

Taking into account results so far, is this disputable?

I would say indisputable. You nailed it, Jimmy!

Gimme Blaze over PJ but I think the first 3 are all at least a tier separated from Bassett.

Yeah I think a tier system makes more sense than rankings and those three are tier 1 right now.

But if you rank by bags of cash ...

But Duke made Final X and Blaze did not.

I don't think I like steroid dealers and suspected pimps talking about children like this...

I'll take Duke over the field AND I think you're right, those three are a tier(a very small tier) ahead of Bassett. Though, as a recruit, Bassett may be the most valuable with his following, the potential to bring along a couple other elite Wrestlers and the energy he brings to a program. 

And that's of course why Iowa gave him that 5 year 265M deal...because as Jimmy tells me, they just buy all their Wrestlers(though...pretty sure PSU has the most funding, but...never mind that). 

It's the following he brings to the sport, it's the PA kid going to Iowa, it's the kids that might follow him. I think he wants to kinda "build" a program...well, he wasn't doing that at PSU, OSU(either) or Iowa, but he CAN in theory RE-build Iowa into a National Champ(or at least a threat). It's also just good for Iowa. Now you have Bassett, Ferrari, Keuter, Arnold, Deluca. That's a helluva group of 5. I like Estrada(he seems like just a quiet kid both in terms of his personality and how little people talk about him). But those 5 guys, I think 2 are near locks if they're healthy to win NC in Ferrari and Keuter

PJ Duke is really really good

Incorrect. Blaze made Final X last year.

I don’t think there was a final X last year

He's mixing it up with the US world team trials where he lost to Vito in two

Blaze has strong Daton Fix vibes. I'd take Duke over Jax for now but it's exciting to watch

[D3 for LU]

The quantity of HS challenging the senior-level of wrestling now is quite surprising to see.

(Was a rarity before... now becoming more prevalent today.)

I think Duke and Jax are the top 2 (no particular order) because their more high scoring than Blaze and have had more senior level success than Bassett (and I think they are more dynamic scorers than Bassett is)

Way too soon to tell. Give it a full season or two.

If this is referring to age, Basset > everyone else. The kid's like 40 yrs old.

He's only going to be 20 when he graduates from high school.
