Gelen Robinson in Purdue's probable lineup for the weekend B1G Duals!


Recommended Posts

That usually considered baptism by fire if he's being thrown in to a Big 10 match against OSU right of the get go as a true freshman.  However, it looks like OSU currently listed HWT is struggling.   I hope Gelen does see some success on the mat this year.

He was definitely gassed yesterday against the big kid from Illinois but my God is he BIG. Wow, quite a difference in the last year.

 

He is going to do great stuff if he sticks with it no doubt.

In High School Brooks Black was the #2 HWT recruit in the nation two years ago behind Adam Coon. He didn't get the win but showed he was competitive with only a short preparation time. If Gelen is able to hang with Black, who had a full redshirt year, he should be able to do the same with several of the younger HWT in college right now.

I feel like Gelen probably never really had to work much to get out from bottom in HS.  That may be his biggest adjustment in college, having a skilled Big10 caliber big man holding you down when you're inexperienced.  That said, he is massive and athletic and I hope he sticks with it
