Appears we have a verbal
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I believe he's a junior at Williamsport HS.
As a sophomore, he wrestled at 106 and 113. He took 1st place in the NW Regional AAA Championships. Due to the pandemic, PIAA put in Super Regionals last season, to basically reduce the number of wrestlers competing at States. He took 4th in the PIAA West Super Regional, where he suffered his 1st two loses on the season.
I'm just posting what Cael Nasdeo tweeted out this evening. I haven't any ability to verify the verbal. Hopefully, others can fill in additional info about him. I'm just pulling what I can from a quick Google search. @El_Jefe, do you have any additional info on him?

The young man’s first name has a familiar ring to it… can’t exactly place it though.
Placed 2nd at 106 this past year at AAA state tourney. Lost to Keadyn William's 3-0 giving up 2 back points at end of match going for broke. If not mistaken, William's verballed to Ohio State. Just lost 5-3 to 8th grader Sam Herring at the Surge. Herring transferred to McCort this year after winning 5 or 6 state championships in Tennessee.

interesting.
So I pulled up the 2021 PIAA Class AAA brackets, and he did indeed place 2nd at States in the 106 bracket. In R1 (which were the quarters due to reduced numbers), he defeated Carson Wagner (Northampton), 3-1. In the semis, he majored Dominic Flatt (Solanco), 12-0. In the final, he lost to Kaedyn Williams (Manheim Township), 3-0.
Yeah. That's correct. He was a sophomore last year, junior this year. Solid prospect...
Also not sure who all was recruiting him but see Pitts Gavin did a home visit with him and he took visits to North Carolina and Virginia. Manning was probably in on him as well.
Another M2 kid. Also trains at Buffalo Valley RTC (Bucknell).
Won the NE regional qualifier for Fargo, but went 1-2 at Fargo itself. He also went 1-2 at 2019 Fargo. Went 3-2 at Super 32, got teched by BIshop McCort 8th grader Jax Forrest (who finished 4th); other loss was a 2-pointer to Northampton's Carson Wagner, who he beat at states.
Was a PJW champ/3x finalist.
I'd expect him at 113 this year, maybe 120. Guessing he'll be in the 133/141 range in college. His father wrestled 142 at Drexel.

Welcome Cael! Yes solid prospect . Hear great things about him! Very Hi ceiling. Only a Junior. Love the M2 connection. Excited to see his development jr, sr year. Kid has it. Tough Pa kid that can wrestle. Out on the circuit getting experience . Steep Upward trajectory - imo.( As a general gauge, # 183 on Willie s Junior prospect board.) But after 2 more years of M2, HS and then arrival at PSU to learn from the other Cael , the coaches and team he ll be way higher than that! I wish the kid all the success in the world on and off the Mat! We are lucky to have him on board. Great news. Good luck and Congrats to Cael and his family! Happy Thanksgiving to all ! CBV

Kinda kid you want w development may look back at this as much bigger than anyone realizes. Pa kid too! M2! Congrats and welcome to Cael!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you El Jefe and all the board . CB
