Beard decommitted from Northwestern

No idea where he is headed.

 

[matter7172]

There is a need at that spot for Penn State in 2-3 years.

There might be a spot sooner than that. Hearing MM might graduate and Raptor might have a hard time making weight.

Could that be our 84 pounder in 2 years when Bo bumps to 97?

 

[pish69]

Holy shit..Imagine if we got Beard? That would give us 2,3,4,5 and possibly 10 on 2018 big board..that's insane

Beard decommitted from Northwestern

I'm wondering if I should pray that he doesn't choose PSU. Gonna take a shit load of us to do suicide watch in Hawkeyeland if that happens...

Wittlake all day at 184

 

[nitlion6]

I am pretty certain McCutcheon is graduating. Haven't heard he was not staying for the extra year. I understand he wants to go to school for chiropractic medicine. Maybe he has been accepted.

Beard decommitted from Northwestern

They said his final 3 is Cornell, PSU and Northwestern

Que the meltdown.

The wrestling internet is about to break

Wittlake all day at 184

Wittlake is extremely good, but there is always room at the table for additional extreme talent.

 

[pish69]

Flo says he may go back to Northwestern but his other 2 choices are PSU and Cornell

 

[johnstownsteel]

They said his final 3 is Cornell, PSU and Northwestern

Oh geeze....isn't that just great...

 

[johnstownsteel]

There might be a spot sooner than that. Hearing MM might graduate and Raptor might have a hard time making weight.

Who's Raptor?

 

[LemonPie]

Cornell has Darmstadt at 197. Like PSU's chances

 

[LemonPie]

MM to Rutgers?

 

[matter7172]

Given the way Penn State handles weight, I would anticipate Wittlake at 184 and Beard, if he comes to Penn State, at 197 when they hit the lineup.

 

[diggerpup]

I thought Gavin Hoffman was gonna land at PSU

I'm having difficulties keeping track of all these elite recruits.

There's so many.

Im told if you follow teams in the mid west its a lot easier to keep track.......I'm a bad man

 

[21Guns]

Cutch, Raptor, Beard, and we go from there.

 

[Reslo]

MM to Rutgers?

On a cruiseliner, presumably.

 

[dunkej01]

Go to Cornell.

[goethe14]

Go to Cornell.

They we would have to "settle" for #12 p4p instead of 5. Oh what will we do....

 

[Clarion167]

Rope shortage in Iowa City?

 

[Ian]

All four are class of 2018 with Whittlake a 184, Beard is a 197, Hoffman is a small 285, Nevills is a big 285. They could release RBY and grab two of the last three guys mentioned. They lose a lot in two years with Cortez, Nolf, Rasheed, Nickal, Cassar, and Nevills all moving on. This 2018 class RS's and takes the torch in 2019.

I like Hoffman, but I think Beard is on a different level

I was told definitively that Hoffman wasn't a tweener.

At this point, that is probably true, but I've been around the PIAA championships long enough to know that any kid who wins that thing two times, has the chance to be special. That tournament is the hardest state tournament in the nation, by FAR.

 

[Ian]

I'd take both Beard and Hoffman and let RBY go. Great to have some more Pa kids and State needs to stock the bottom of the line-up. I'd love Nevills but think he would have already commited by now and I really think he wants to be out west, Stanford most likely.

Hoffman should never see HWT in college and he'd need to get fat to do so. Nevills is also the far better option and I'd bet you money he ends up at PSU.

Ian, didn't you see Willie's tweet, showing Snacks in our lineup @ 285. Take it to the bank, Snacks to Happy Valley.

 

[Ian]

I would love a pile of Snacks to enjoy the next five years!

I have no doubt Hoffman will be very good, but if you have the ability to be picky...

 

[RandyL]

so..... assuming Hoffman and Beard are both 197 ers - who do we want?

I've seen this before on this board -- where does Stanford come from? Snacks wants to be an Olympian. Stanford is not capable of developing him at that level.

 

[PSU Mike]

Not sure that's a productive conversation. What if only one wants to come here and the boards "supports" the other? I'd welcome either under the premise that the guys in charge will make the best feasible outcome reality.

I think PSU needs a heavyweight in the 2018 class, and Seth Nevills is the obvious target. The fact that he hasn't committed yet is pretty much irrelevant - his brother just (like 3 or 4 days ago) announced he will not attend PSU, so the brothers would be not competing for the same lineup spot. And not every junior makes a decision by March, even though it may be a developing trend for the top guys.

And I see no way PSU can land both Beard and Hoffman. Take one or the other. Don't even know if all that is possible with Joe Lee, Teasdale, and Whitlake already on board.
