With Perry committing can the coaches even talk to him yet? Like about what kind of scholarship he’s looking at and stuff like that or no? I know football offers 12 year olds now lol. Didn’t know what the rule was, if any, for wrestling.
Breaking: Dalton Perry commits to PSU
- Thread starter Lion8286
- Start date
Talented but needs to be more consistent if he wants to be a college AA.
Nice pickup for WVU. Better still if it helps bring them teammate Shawn Taylor.

Can I flip this argument on its head… assume all what you said is true, which I totally agree with. Cael gets down to crunch time with managing 9.9 scholarships. You have a kid who committed to Penn State prior to even be recruited and offered. Why give him 100%, he wants to be there based on all the things you said? No one is questioning his ability, it’s just the need to do it. You’ve now lost all leverage.
We've got a secret fund to support our athletes that go this route. Would you like to contribute?

He may not need as much of a scholarship as some may think. He is in state AND his mother works at PSU. That's quite a reduced cost from jump street.
Willie just said his mom works for the university. i assume this qualifies him for discounted tuition. I'm sure he and his family aren't worried about scholarship money if PSU is his dream school. Congrats to PSU you get a top flight recruit without costing scholarship money. I feel like most of the disappointment on this board is b.c everyone got their hopes up for Shapiro - (my money for the second recruit is on McGowan)
I am officially on this train. I love free stuff.
check out what they are wearing in just about every family photo, i'd say PSU is at the top of their list
These are people who, hypothetically, would be hit on by Charlize Theron and have second thoughts because she may be a little too tall for them
Thanks for the info!! Didn’t know he had a brother. Do ya mind telling me his first name so I can look him up? Lol
I knew he had an older brother at west liberty
I was thinking of Shawn Taylor and forgot to look up the name. Will fix the earlier post.
Some of them wouldn't call her until after she committed to PSU.
Let me introduce you to tognettis sister….
True, but if his Mom does work at PSU he already gets 75% off, although I believe that is just tuition, not room and board too.
One time I wish I had Flo. Just googled Shawn Taylor and the first video that pops up his him vs Gage Wright a Park South Wv kid that wvu has to be after.
After hearing what Flynn offered Amos tho I’m not optimistic lol.
Thanks for all the info
Do you think after winning two titles that Bo, Zain or Nolf got their last year paid for?
Exactly.
It is really just a formality at this point I am sure.
1. Who said anything about money? (Serious question- I didn’t read through all the thread since I last posted)
2. Why assume he lost all (or any) leverage?
Cael is running the closest thing NCAA sports has seen since the Wooden UCLA teams. He’s got all of the leverage in just about any situation he wants to have it in.
But I think we’re all reading into this more than it is. There’s no commitment from either party here, it’s really just a superficial declaration that’s completely unbinding. Having said that, I think that Perry 100% plans on attending and the family figured this was an artifact to point to in order to say “you’re wasting time here. Going to PSU unless told we’re not invited”.
Maybe he committed early to throw HR into a quagmire of bitching.
I've noticed that Chickenman Testa has a thing for Charlize Theron. Not a bad thing to have though!😉
I actually think this allows him to actually be a kid for the rest of high school. He isn’t going to have to go through a stressful recruitment and can really just enjoy the rest of high school. If he is as 100% committed as it sounds than coaches will probably not put in time trying to change his mind. Makes sense to me why he committed. Kids change their minds all the time but I don’t see that happening in this case.
If his mom works at the school, he might not need a scholarship anyways. Major employee discounts available I believe. Anything else, the slush fund will cover 😜
We didn’t write Willie a check for this one did we? I mean, the kid was pretty much guaranteed to go to PSU one day…
I knew it wasn't free tuition, but I didn't know the percentage. That alone is probably more than most top recruits get.
I was actually making a joke about Brands not calling Aaron Brooks.
I agree. I'm sure he will still get a handful of phone calls though. Coaches wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't.
Worst case scenario is he goes to PSU for 75 percent off and doesn't wrestle at all in college. Best case is Cael gets a hammer for next to no cost to his 9.9.
Wait until @vodka and @mvp'doff finds out that an elite kid isn't hurting the 9.9 limit
Great. Now for a decade, Iowa fans will be telling us Penn State will come back down to earth after Dalton Perry graduates ;-)
Congrats young man!
Congrats young man!
Working for psu there is 75% tuition reduction.
Or go to an orgy and b*tch about the chip dip.
Ahh a tidbit I missed previously.
"his mother works for the university"
If true, don't dependents of University employees get either a significantly lower tuition or free ride? Ahh the smell of a blue chip with minimal hit to the 9.9 smacks of bacon, eggs and a pancake in the morning. Yum.
Someone in the know pls confirm?
