navy80 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Kid is a class act... I think he is really torn between football and wrestling. Football wise, he has the size and speed to make it t the NFL. Wrestling wise, he is a D1 placer/champion. I can see him at Purdue for their engineering program and possibly pull a Gelen Robinson playing two sports.

It was too much. Maybe Mason could make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Jake Ruberg and his dad got some camera time too. Jake has some great words about putting in work immediately to be ready for the next level. http://www.flowrestling.org/video/1112585-jake-ruberg-training-the-day-after-placing-at-state#.WK8XYNIrK1shttp://www.flowrestling.org/video/1112579-ruberg-and-son-credit-spatola-for-wrestling-growth#.WK8XcdIrK1s Awesome, that second video is at Spatola's Wrestling School over by Cincy, big taking Little B to Spatola's for about 6 weeks now and have been really impressed. Both of them are actually from there. Zeb Miller from GohioCast visited there over the weekend. Here is a link to the entire video set. http://www.flowrestling.org/event/254966-spatola-wrestling/videos For those of you that don't know Spatola is a former Indiana University Wrestler who now runs wrestling school out of Cincinnati.

seindiana1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I could be wrong but I believe that is Antonio McCloud. He is from Elder High School in Cincinnati. I believe he is/was ranked #2 in Ohio at 220. FCFIGHTER170 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seindiana1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 He is very good. If this is who I think it is, the match between the two of them was pretty good this past season but Mason won. FCFIGHTER170 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrester Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 2 collegiate sports + engineering school...... good luck buddy. Depends on the engineering discipline.

Mr_Coach_Kline Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Watching the kid on the field is impressive. Idk if he is a Big Ten linebacker? For sure wrestler! Having been around a lot of football and played a lot of football, he could go to Purdue for it. They recruit the piss out of the southern states and get the leftover SEC Big 12 kids. Kid could win national titles as a wrestler for sure tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINfan Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 NFL talk is a bit premature. As of now, at least according to the recruiting sites, Mason only has offers from Cincinnati and Ball St. He's getting interest from others, so more offers may or may not come. Purdue? Is Purdue football better than Ball St. or Cincinnati? You get to play against better players and in better stadiums, but..... To clarify, I'm sure more offers will come, but will higher level offers come? I don't think it's realistic to do both at a high level.

Y2CJ41 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 He's taken visits to Purdue and Michigan State. Also the Nebraska wrestling coaches came to watch him at sectional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilleman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm not sure about his football future but I hope he continues to wrestle in college. After 3 years in HS I'd say he is as good a big man as I've ever seen in Indiana, and that's a lot. He still has room to grow and improve yes, but he's on the right track. As far as ending up a top wrestling recruit, I'm guessing some schools are curious to see how he matches up with the best 285's in the country. I don't see him ever going below 200 again so he's gonna have to prove it sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him ever going below 200 again so he's gonna have to prove it sooner or later. The current dominant heavyweight in college is also the world champ at 97kg (214lbs). He goes back and forth between college and international events right during the season, so I know he's not weighing much more than 220 as his walk-around weight. He can just hit high crotches and snatch singles on anyone in the world. The champ the 2 years before that only weighed about 240. There have been many hugely successful lighter college heavyweights. Make no mistake--Parris is a prospect of the highest order if he ends up going the wrestling-only route.
