oh man that’s such a bummer. was really looking forward to seeing him and ridge scrap.
This suuuuuckkkssss. And it’s fair to start to wonder if his body will hold up through a college career. Third major injury in about four years
It’ll be Kasak. I don’t think he’s really all that undersized either. Wrestled at 149 multiple times last year.
He certainly won’t be full sized, but he’ll be bigger than Bartlett was at 149.
Cael did mention Pierce and Evans as possible fill-ins too.
He also mentioned that Kasak had been focused on making 141 this year.

WOW..this sucks for SVN..he looked so damn good in the early season. Wonder what the injury is? Feel horrible for him
Some guys are just snakebit. Look at Howard.
Spencer was like that. Had two major injuries before graduating high school. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't had another shoulder injury. Usually those come back.
Totally bummed about this. SVN was set to destroy the world this year, I'm certain of that. Hopefully he makes a full recovery from whatever his injury is and destroys the world next year.
What a major bummer! I love watching SVN! Next man up.......let's go Kasak
Ugh. Feel awful for Shayne. At least he's getting it taken care of right away, so he'll have more recovery time toward next year.
Rumors are saying torn ACL
Shazbot! Well, in one sense, this can take the focus off of 170, which is probably a good thing.
Now maybe Kasak can go this year and Shane can get a medical. I bet it's only a 50/50 that Kasak goes 149 this year. I am good with it if he doesn't. IMO he needed this year as a redshirt, but if he goes could he be a R16? I think so. I don't really like this scenario as Ideally Kasak needs this year and he is undersized for 149. Likewise he needs to fill in after Beau next year and the sea sawing weights is not a good thing.
If there was ever a year where we can absorb an injury, this was the one. I hope we don't see any more, but it's a long hard season.
It's too bad Barraclough was not a 149, seeing a backup with that kind of potential is bittersweet.
The what ifs will fade into history, just as the year we had 5 champs but lost Surriano who probably would have been #6. It's all good. No doubt Shane comes back even one more year scarier. He may not lose again.

Damn this sucks. Kid was looking so good. Was really excited to see him and Ridge go at it. I’m super high on Kasak though. I truly think he can AA. Still losing some points from what SVN would’ve put up but I think Kasak will surprise a lot of people
I think Tyler is much better than he showed last Sunday. Hard to say he'll be someone who scores at NCAAs this year but could do a lot worse than him as your replacement.
There is a certain amount of irony to a standout 141 recruit being forced to wrestle up at 149 due to injury and because he is blocked from 141 by returning All-American
...
Beau Bartlett
Haines sure suprised a few people in his TF year. Kasak is cut from the same cloth.
Damn. Injuries suck. Feel so badly for the young man. He was looking fantastic and a real threat to get a title. 😢
Dang that sucks. I was really looking forward to watch SVN win his 1st national championship this year.
Always fun to watch the young guys develop too, especially in a year where you'll likely be far out of range of any challengers.
Get well soon Shane.Done for the year with an undisclosed injury via Cael
I hope to see the best man at 125 now sooner rather than later
Huge bummer. Shayne looked set for a great year. Feel for the kid. Hopefully he's okay.
Yes indeed. Get healthy young man.
Good thing he isn't wrestling for that midwestern team. ACL's are for wusses!

Sad for Van Ness and his family. Hate it when any kid loses a chance to chase their dream, whether it's a PSU wrestler or not. Should be Evans or Kasak based on observations to date, though it's a time for others to shine too. Just an fyi, Evans and Kasak wrestled to what amounted to a draw at the Black Knight Invitational. No takedowns, Kasak winning 3-2 in TB-2 @ 141 lbs. Kasak has a RS, Evans does not. Though I recognize the upside for Kasak, most true freshmen could use a redshirt. All factors will be considered.
For anyone interested, I have video up from Cael's & Levi's media availabity on BSD:
www.blackshoediaries.com
Media Availability: Cael Sanderson & Levi Haines
Cael Sanderson & Levi Haines spoke to media ahead of Sunday’s dual vs Hofstra. Cael revealed that Shayne Van Ness would miss the remainder of the season to recover from repair of an injury he aggravated a week prior.

Kasak is also a lot closer to beIng a true 149 pounder than Evans
I think that is really the most important thing. At least in my world. Who is most prepared to be at that weight.
Well sh*t 😩 , feel terrible for Shayne.
His infectious smile and fun loving attitude will really be missed. Hoping for a speedy and complete recovery.
