Don't shoot the messenger.

I want to start this off by saying I am a Penn St fan and have been a premium member for years. Don't really post often but have a a friend who is on the Rutgers staff who is saying Suriano to Rutgers is a done deal. The only hurdle they are working on is trying to get him eligible for this year. He says he doesn't like happy valley and misses home.
I am with all of you guys. I will believe it when it happens but just passing along what the Rutgers side is saying.

 

[Clarion167]

The staff member is not well versed in Big 10 rules. I believe it is a mandatory 1 year waiting period al la Cortez.

 

[bopper1988]

Can someone merge this with the twotter thread. Sorry didn't realize that was going on

 

[pish69]

This would suck if true. On one hand if the kid misses home who can blame him. On the other hand we lose a hammer

 

[Creek Side]

Well this sucks for us. Next man up...

Do we have a next man at 125?

 

[El-Jefe]

Let's not jump off the ledge yet. Lots of insiders telling us every year Morgan McIntosh was homesick.

 

[diggerpup]

I'm not buying that one of the most focused & intense young men in all of college wrestling is "home sick" because he's about 3-1/2hrs away from his hometown.


And who doesn't like Happy Valley ?

Hahahaha, you got a better chance of hitting the Jersey state lottery

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Why would a Penn State fan have better contacts with the Rutgers staff than the Rutgers insiders? They have discussed the NS rumor, but no one has vouched for its veracity there I don't think.

All that said, if true and to address an above question, we'd have a pretty big hole at 125 all season.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

If you didn't see the other thread, the "I am with all you guys" doesn't make sense.

A logical inconsistency, but BigBopper's posting history is solid if light - he's no hit and run troll it appears.

I guess we'll all find out soon

 

[WildTurk]

Gotta love message boards and Twitter. Drama encouraged!

 

[bopper1988]

Listen I don't want this to happen. I am all PSU everything. Just saying according to a Rutgers coach he would be shocked if Suriano isn't at Rutgers next year. I don't claim to be an insider. Never have. Just passing on what I am hearing.

 

[LemonPie]

If true, tOSU will take the team title with McKenna. Nearly a 30-point swing

 

[Creek Side]

Now you sound like 21 Guns.

 

[LemonPie]

Nah

 

[cpn1sgm]

Now you sound like 21 Guns.

Did McKenna announce for OSU?

 

[Creek Side]

Did McKenna announce for OSU?

No news yet. All speculation.

Yeah, Bopper is not a troll. I just hope his RU contact is having some fun with him.

 

[LemonPie]

I wonder if Molinaro leaving was a blow

 

[El-Jefe]

Rutgers has yet to recover.

IF they stay healthy. Bojo is one to watch with that wonky foot

And they have to hope NATO can make 125. Without that, they are equally hamstrung at that weight.

It's not like PSU has managed to stay completely healthy the last few years.

 

[LemonPie]

Teske is the only 2018 recruit worth taking.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

True. So hopefully that means we're in for a healthy year. Let's hope

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Yup, then McHenry down the road. Sounds like both those guys may be career 125s, however, which complicates matters.

 

[LemonPie]

Yes, McHenry will be a top 3 recruit. Would be hard to wait that long though. Relaxed transfer rules could give them immediate options, however

 

[Lion8286]

Now you sound like 21 Guns.

Can't tell which one of the two you are insulting.

 

[bopper1988]

Yeah, Bopper is not a troll. I just hope his RU contact is having some fun with him.

I hope this is the case as well

 

[LemonPie]

Could be worse. He could have said I sound like a guy who covers up child rape

Please tell me this buddy of yours goes by the nickname creedo..

 

[yekrut321]

FWIW.....the OP for the Cutch thread on FOS provides some additional information regarding Suriano.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

If Suriano leaves we're doomed. We only have 5 returning champions and need 8 or 9 to score or we're out of it.

1, I don't buy he's going to leave and 2, the lineup is going to be stacked. Barring serious injuries it's all good.

What is FOS?

Only thing that has me hopeful Nick stays is I remember an interview before Rutgers match when he said something to the effect of Rutgers is a good program but PSU another level and that's what he trained his life for, to be part of the best.

Why would he change those thoughts now?

It would seem like Nick would be the last guy who would get homesick. It's like Chuck Norris too squeamish to kill a spider - it doesn't compute

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Just said he was drilling and not back from break

 

[jschrantz]

Just said he was drilling and not back from break

Isn't that normal though? it's still June

 

[yekrut321]

Just said he was drilling and not back from break

Yes but also the op had talked to Cutch about next seasons outlook at 125 and 197

 

[demauroj]

For what it's worth, but people on our wrestling board have stated that Nick was confirmed to be at SKWC (Scarlet Knights Wrestling Club) practice rolling around with Frankie Edgar who stopped by to train a bit. The person climbing this is generally in the know.

Whether this adds fuel to this fire, who knows. Whatever the Truth, there are certainly smoke signals coming from Piscataway.
