Bo Bassett has been posting a weekly recruiting update. Basically, its been him eliminating schools each week. I've refrained from posting his weekly updates until he got down to his finalists.

However, this week he changed up the style of his update a bit. He eliminated 1 school (NC State). In addition, he listed a schedule of upcoming home visits he'll be receiving, and also listed the destination of his first official visit.

You can find the details at:

Tyler DeKraker was also on campus. He's a sneaky good candidate. Under the radar due to lack of folk competition -- he got snared by PIAA transfer rules by leaving private school for his home school district.

Anyway, he beat Seidel in folk and is a national champ at U15 freestyle and U17 greco. Brother is committed to NW. Dad is a former D1 wrestler. Have seen him projected anywhere from 141-165.

He's from the Quakertown area, I believe.

Didn't he go from Blair to Faith Christian Academy? Or is that when he ran into issues with the PIAA? And now he's back at Blair.

@dicemen99, he's from up your neck of the woods, I believe, plus I believe you follow movements between schools as you're monitoring kids for ETR. Any thing you can add to this to clarify what happened?

Dice knows the situation better than me, but from what I remember: since 2022 he has been in VA, MD, NJ, PA, and back to VA. And I think he was in PA before the first stop in VA, though he might have been in VA before that.

He was listed as VA when he competed at U15 Nationals in 2022. And he was listed as competing for McDonough School (MD) around the same time.

I've seen a USA Wrestling profile of him from before that, showing his U14 results, and listing his residence as Quakertown.

He went to Blair for the 2022-2023 year. I might have his 2023-2024 season backward, but IIRC he transferred to Faith Christian, was ruled in eligible by PIAA, and so he went home to Council Rock North since he couldn't compete anyway. (Or maybe vice-versa.) And now he's in Chantilly VA.

Head spinning yet? But wait, there's more: he competed for M2 in 2020.

Sounds like an NIL deal for U-Haul.

I believe he's a junior, at Fort Dodge, Iowa. He made the U-17 USA team @ 92 Kg, but ended up having to miss Worlds due to a shoulder injury. He's also received scholarship offers from a number of top programs in football.
