I have been wanting them to get Bouzakis for awhile now. Hoping he stays small and projects as a 133. Mendez is also a stud but may fall grow into that 141/149 range where we are already loaded.

If Mendez wants in, he's a take. Don't think you can play the weight-class-slotting game with the number 1 recruit in the country.

Example - Cael just added an upper class upper weight to a room with AAs at every position.

Get the most talent possible, then figure it out.

Gavin brown who is buckeye commit did an interview on buckeye scoop. Seems to be really good friends of mendes and boukakis. By his interview some would think Ohio state has a pretty good chance to land these guys. https://buckeyescoop.com/ohio-state-commit-gavin-brown-goes-in-depth-on-big-wrestling-recruiting-weekend
Landing one of these guys is huge. Landing both Ohio state could be the favorites in a couple years to win it all.

Awesome!!
I was hoping that he’d come our way.
His uncle Bobby Misita wrestled for the Buckeyes back in the dark ages (‘80s), great teammate/guy.

Jason, nice early callout when opening up this thread.

Can anyone shed some light on him? Any noteworthy HS wins? Why did he take so long to commit?

I don’t know much about him but did see he lost to Feldman 2-1 a few weeks ago at NHSCA Duals

Misita was the 220lb state champ this year, in New Jersey.

How does Misita fit in with Feldman and Shumate coming in next year?

Supposedly he is planning on going 197. Maybe Shumate is thinking 184 or he can RS as a Freshman

Good question--he probably doesn't. There's a chance all three turn in to legit NCAA point scorers. There's probably a better chance that one or more of them don't.

I would classify it as a good problem to have, provided you don't run off Shumate or Feldman. Given how late his commitment came, I highly doubt the Bucks will have much invested.


Say for a second that Misita, Feldman, and Shumate all end up being high AA threats... conceivably, Tom could take a page out of Cael's book and go for a couple grey shirts for the added flexibility. If they did, you could get 4 years of starter eligibility out of each.
