Nice! This is shaping up to be a pretty good recruiting class.
Lol. Great news.
Getting comical at this point
Welcome aboard Mr Beard

Time for Bama to step aside and see what real recruiting dominance looks like.
At this year's WNO, it could potentially look like a PSU recruit dual meet.
Glad you guys are excited. In the beginning, other colleges were showing him more interest. He realized he committed too early and really thought long and hard about this before making a final decision. He would go back and forth with where he wanted to go. Despite myself and fellow coach both wrestling for PSU, we did not steer him to PSU. We believed he had three good options in NW, Cornell, and PSU to exceed as a student athlete. When it came down to it, he wanted his family to see him wrestle. The fact that his older brother is already on the swim team and his former Malvern teammate is on the PSU wrestling team helps with his transition to college. He wants to win multiple NCs and feels PSU will help him achieve this goal. I hope you guys enjoy watching him as much as I have enjoyed coaching him since he was 9 years old. #WeAre
Any reason why this Intermat article (link below) about the Beard verbal and the 2018 PSU class omits RBY?

at least cael gave the HWC a few days to celebrate before bringing them back to reality.

Lots of love for keeping us posted these past couple of years and pulling back the curtain a little.
This should just about clinch the #2 team recruiting ranking for 2018.
Excellent news!
The 2018 recruiting class is shaping up to be a crazy good class for PSU.
Using Flo's rankings, here's a look at the class:
a. Gavin Teasdale
- final 2017 HS ranking was #2 @ 126, behind Spencer Lee
- final 2017 P4P ranking was #10. The only 2018 wrestler ranked ahead of him was Gable Steveson
b. Roman Bravo-Young
- final 2017 HS ranking was #2 @ 132, behind Daton Fix
- final 2017 P4P ranking was #11. The only 2018 wrestlers ranked ahead of him were Gable Steveson and Gavin Teasdale
c. Joe Lee
- final 2017 HS ranking was #13 @ 152. Only 2018 wrestlers ranked ahead of him were Shane Griffith (#5), David Carr (#6), Jaden Mattox (#7), Brock Hardy (#9), and Anthony Artalona (#11)
d. Travis Wittlake
- final 2017 HS ranking was #2 @ 170, behind Mikey Labriola
e. Michael Beard
- final 2017 HS ranking was #2 @ 195, behind Jacob Warner
- final 2017 P4P ranking was #13. The only 2018 wrestlers ranked ahead of him were Gable Steveson, Gavin Teasdale, and Roman Bravo-Young
f. Seth Nevills
- final 2017 HS ranking was #2 @ 285, behind Gable Steveson
Willie indicated that he'd have the updated ranking without the seniors posted in 2 weeks (from April 16). It appears that he's a bit behind on his schedule. That said, it appears that PSU's 2018 class enters their senior HS season as:
- the #1 ranked prospect @ 126
- the #1 ranked prospect @ 132
- the #6 ranked prospect @ 152
- the #1 ranked prospect @ 170
- the #1 ranked prospect @195
- the #2 ranked prospect @ 285
That's a "sick" class, though it does make me feel very good.
Way to go CS and coaching staff.

tjb, I commend you for how you've handled this. You've given us a few snippets on his recruitment, but it seemed clear to me that you were not attempting to run the show, or even exert influence, on Michael.
Looks as though you'll have a greater interest in using your PSU tickets over the coming years.
That is because RBY is going eventually to land at the Ohio StateExcellent news!

DYNASTY TO THE MAX for years and years....WOW !!!! Hope Mike gets to red shirt one year to get 20 to 25 colleges matches under his belt before he wins the National Championship as a red shirt freshman...His number 1 partner will be DT who is the best wrestler in the world right now....He will also have 3 other studs around his weight...197. GREAT time to be a PSU fan....Gee wiz.
Getting beard has nothing to do with RBY who may be coming this summer....That is from a great source....
Possibly the understated post of the year.Nice! This is shaping up to be a pretty good recruiting class.
Can we please read in the paper the announcement of the contract extension
If Suriano and Beard routinely beat their Iowa counterparts what does that do to the HR theory that Cael can't coach and the Brands boys are the coaching/development gurus. Dang, that would be the final nail into their collective rationalized reality.
No a better source...lol....There is truth to the Arizona State one though with a lot of them..Not all !!!!The same source that tells you wrestlers don't develop at Arizona State?
Or the same source that told him Iowa wrestlers don't go to class, just ask All-Academic B10 Mike Kemerer.The same source that tells you wrestlers don't develop at Arizona State?
From Hoffman shortly after the Beard news on Twitter...
"God has a plan"
May have nothing to do with the news but he rarely tweets and this came within less than an hour of the Beard news. I wonder if he was close and this just directed him elsewhere...
