Hawkeyes land Kenny and bachmann

[RawDog]

How do these recruits compare to Bassett, Duke, Forrest blaze and other blue chippers?

[RawDog]

Both younger brothers verbally committed as well.  Four new hawkeyes on the way!

Not on the level of the guys you just mentioned but relative to "normal" classes these kids would be right up there with any of them. Just landed Borge as well, huge day for the Hawks.

Deluca,Kenny,Bachmann,Borge,Amato,Ludington,Ferrari with potentially 2 years in the lineup together is huge.

People really thought Iowa was just gonna go away lololololol

They really needed this, I think they were in danger of falling out of that top 2 picture otherwise.

5 commits in one night is something else:

C/O 2027: #3 Joe Bachmann, #5 Israel Borge, #7 Paul Kenny C/O 2028: #1 Freddy Bachmann, #40 Sean Kenny

now imagine if bassetts mommy and daddy weren't such pieces of shit and hadn't made their kid pull his commitment. instead, the bassetts will be average college wrestlers, toiling away in Whacksburg VA.

Willie said his next 2028 update will have Kenny around #10

5 Top 10 Recruits across 2 recruiting classes is insane

So they landed five guys for the price of Bassett, right?  That's what we're reading here?

Price of Basset(s) + Miller

Is 2027 Brands best ever recruiting class?  Below are some of his best classes throughout the years. I’d probably say it’s his second best class behind 2010, but it yielded only 6AAs with 0 finals appearances from 2 individuals.  That is the worst in the list.

2027: 3 Joe Bachmann, 8 Paul Kenny, 11 Israel Borge, 30 Sonny Amato

2023: 2 Ben Keuter, 5 Gabe Arnold, 22 Ryder Block, 52 Kale Petersen

2016: 2 Alex Marinelli, 19 Carter Happel, 25 Kaleb Young, 93 Jack Wagner

2012: 15 Nate Skonieczny, 16 Thomas Gilman, 20 Sam Brooks, 23 Cory Clark, 41 Alex Meyer

2010:  4 Mike Evans, 11 Nick Moore, 12 Josh Dziewa, 19 Bobby Telford, 31 Jake Ballweg, 74 Michael Kelly, 79 Anthony Baldosaro

2009: 10 Tony Ramos, 15 Derek St. John, 17 Ethen Lofthouse

2005: 2 Brent Metcalf, 19 Jay Borschel, 24 Joey Slaton, 40 Dan LeClere

If we’re including future clssses, 2028 will be on par with 2027. Also, the class of 2017 is imo a top 3 class of the TNT era.

Lol of course you think that.  It was good, but I omitted it because it was really two guys.  Lee was #2 and Warner was also in the top ten.  Murin was in that class but he was barely in the top 50 (44).  If TNT had got DeSanto out of high school I'd have it in the top 3.  Including DeSanto it's probably his best class from a results perspective: 3 titles, 4 finals, 12 AA finished from 4 wrestlers.

Somebody a wee bit upset that Bo and Melvin are better than the Bachmann's?

I’d put a lot of money on neither of them finishing their college career in Blacksburg.
