    2024-25 PSU Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)

    I posted this a month ago. I have no idea what program half of the guys on this board have been watching for the last 10 years. SMFH always.

    2024-25 PSU Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)

    You've got to be kidding me with these Kasak to 141 crap again. Over and over. Kasak is twice as big as BB (hyperbole, but you've got to fight fire with fire). If you go back a month I posted 149/157 Van Ness/Kasak with Van Ness being my most likely for 149. I posted I thought it was unlikely...

    Bo Nickal MMA

    The Malkoun fight is fake news. Straight from the horses mouth. Bo is not fighting him at 302.

    PA HS Wrestling thread

    That's good info. We already knew to discount the club practice chatty dad rumor mill 93% but good to see it confirmed at 100% in this case. Brock seems to be working his way through his first pass with this, but he seems like a good dude and they usually figure out that the JH dads who talk...

    If you can only choose 1?

    Carter will be underrated by most who were not paying attention and give any credence to two paper losses that appear on his record. But he went undefeated his last three years and was only "threatened" his sophomore year - by Mekhi and Kemmerer. Let's remember this was the version of Mekhi...

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    I don't understand who this is an issue for. There will be kids that jump from college to college just like some people jump from job to job. There will be others - the vast majority - that understand leaving a good situation is not something to be done lightly and stay put The ones that...

    Why "Social Media" is great....

    Is he throwing down the gauntlet to Brands here? Because that's how it comes off to me. Pretty good response from the PSU perspective. It's clear he respects what Carl's accomplishing and it's also clear his previous response of "what took so long" was a humorous setup. But the follow up...

    Last Chance OTT Qualifier - April 7

    TBF, DT probably could have tech'd a bunch of senior-level guys at 57kg when he was 17. This was the last chance qualifier and most of the guys there aren't exactly contending for world team spots. Let's not pretend Tomasello is tearing it on the senior level. I can't remember the last...

    NHSCA high school nationals

    "That no-frills approach helps explain why Penn State doesn’t do photo shoots during recruiting visits. While they’ve become customary in every sport, if a wrestler really wants to be at Penn State, a staged photo in a singlet isn’t necessary. 'They want kids that want to be there,' Henckel...

    Last Chance OTT Qualifier - April 7

    And just as I extoll his attributes, Sealy gets outgamed and out slicked by old-man Yahya by going on the clock first. Blame me for the kibosh.

    Last Chance OTT Qualifier - April 7

    When Sealey gets his man muscles, he's going to be something. He's so slick, extremely high wrestling IQ and super pace. I know we have a lot coming in, but he's going to be in the lineup. Gilcher vs. Sealey was a man vs. boy and the boy kicked his ass. I was even impressed when Sealey gave up...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    We have a coach who has been talking about process rather than results for 10-plus years. We now have evidence of many, many PSU wrestlers who talk about process rather than results when they are interviewed. But we frequently have fans of the program and always have non-fans of the program...

    Natty Daddy

    C'mon @BrockBronson , I can't believe you did not post this on GIA as well. Get your head in the game! We could have had several days of entertainment watching the horde work themselves into a frenzy when they read CStar's "post" referencing Arnold.

    AS THE BIRD TURNS (IOWA STUFF)

    Rocco could have easily found himself outside the podium. He won like 3 straight matches in OT. I think someone posted on here that Welsh had something like 2 TDs in regulation time in his last 10 bouts ( I don't remember the exact stat). He'll likely have to make a jump if he wants to see the...

    AS THE BIRD TURNS (IOWA STUFF)

    You literally described a borderline AA above. Yes, I could agree with you that if the NCAA decides to put 3 returning national champs on one side of the bracket and dump Arnold on the other side with a bunch of borderline AA types, he is equal as likely as any of them to reach the finals. You...

    AS THE BIRD TURNS (IOWA STUFF)

    Nelson aside, what has Gabe Arnold shown that screams "finalist" this season? A one TD win over Will Feldkamp and or Wittlake? His wrestling this year says borderline AA at best. Not much different than Kennedy a few years ago - and last year and this year. Pretty big jump to finalist. Given...

    2024 NCAA's - Day 3 - Match/discussion thread

    He lost to two All Americans - Beard and Cardenas - and beat the only "NQ" level wrestler he faced by major. He also beat an AA 285. Just getting the full context out there. PSU may be approached by a guy wanting to transfer in, but the need is not dire. He's probably not an AA right now, but...

    2024-25 PSU Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)

    I would rather see Cochran on the Cassar plan to move up to 285 in the event Kerk doesn't use his final year. He would do very well at that weight class, better than at 197.

    "DT will listen to Iowa's pitch"

    Agreed. My statement reflected my opinion that under DT, I highly doubt Anthony or AJ would have ever been in the table, unlike under the current HC. So, it may work out perfectly for Iowa.
