Penn st sees Howard as a career 125
Another good reason to watch Hager’s Happy Hour… great show, when I’m not stuck at work.
Fellers has the upmost respect for Cael. All D1 coaches want to win
Given the changes in the transfer rules (almost but not quite a free-for-all), no fan from any team regardless of sport can say anything about any other program or coach regarding transfers. Sure, it may benefit some more than others, but the kids now have some flexibility, which is a good thing imo.
Tbh, I'm personally still torn a bit because to me it's a commitment thing, and I believe a person's word is their bond. But we're talking 18-22 year olds with ever-changing wrestling room dynamics (coaching changes, new competition in the room, needing a change of environment, etc.), so it's all good.
Back to the subject of Cael and Nick. Cael would never (or let's say rarely ever) burn any bridge, just not in his nature.
A most disappointing but accurate commentary on life today. So glad I grew up in a time when your word meant something. I have friends from 40 to almost 60 years back whose words I have never had any reason to question. May we all have such people in our lives.
Not me! When I say “you’re stupid” to a fan of an opposing team, I really mean it! I will not waver in my commitment to that belief.
You show yourself now!?!? The board is ending soon Corby!
I did not intend to sound anti Fellers, I have tremendous respect for him. He's a pretty straight shooter which I always respect and he's very passionate about wrestling. Just mentioned what he said is what a lot of people (PSU fans or not) have been thinking about a potential Suriano return (Gilman and him, does Cael even like him anymore)
People who earn money talking, more often than occasionally will babble stupid shyt just to make a sound.
@corbyV has been on the board(s) for quite a while now, just under a pseudonym. I honestly thought that most of the regulars knew what handle he posts with here...
You can look at a lot of top D1 teams right now and see transfers / flips in commitment, just smart coaching. The job of the coach is to make these young people be the best version of themselves, but they also need to win. With the new transfer rules, why wouldn’t a kid go where he can get max experience and placement, teams get max winning potential and team performance. As long as the kid isn’t trouble or problems.
Unfortunately we now live in a world where an athlete's word or commitment means as much as any coach's has in the last 30+ years.
Ha! Nope, I am way too big of an Iowa homer...
Besides, I still have a full(mostly) head of hair, so I do not meet the requirements to be a co-host of The First Word.
Per Willie on the same show said Cael and Nick get along great, even during the whole transfer saga.
We were all pissed after the transfer, but Cael never was….go figure 😃
Joined back in May for some reason it wouldnt allow me to post until recently. And this board ending sucks by the way
He has been practicing with the NLWC for a few weeks now.
He's back in the room, right now, drilling!
It's funny seeing how HR differentiates between Iowa taking transfers and Penn State taking transfers.
Brands = smart, resourceful
Cael = evil, win at any cost
Well that's not what I was portraying. I was referring to all of us fans as a whole getting used to the Portal transfers, Nil $, sponsorships etc. We never know what tommarrow will bring
Hopefully not another Hawkeye. 🤞🏼
EDIT - announcement postponed a few days per Willie.

People's words or commitments don't mean any more or less today than they did 10, 20 or 30 years ago. The only thing that has changed is the ability to move around. If these same transfer rules were in place 30 years ago you would have seen kids moving around 30 years ago like they are today. When people talk about kids honoring their commitment to schools in the past it was because they had no choice. The eligibility rules didn't make it viable to transfer the way kids can today.
The current generation is always lacking in the previous generations' perceptions.
My previous comments were at most peripheral to wrestling. They were about how we choose to live our lives. An honor code used to mean something. Treating people with respect was expected. I watched the second half of the Iowa game with a growing sense of sadness and disgust. Win or lose, I just wanted to see a well played game, hopefully free of any serious injuries. For those who remember Paul Brown: "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less."
The idea that people from the past kept true to what they said must have been well before our country gave the Native Americans pieces of land, and took them, and gave different land, and took it......Breaking the word is not a new thing. The income tax was temporary according to the people who implemented it.
Exactly. I deal with a lot of rich, blowhard Texans who make cracks about Yankees not being men of their word. These same guys (who generally do nothing and collect mail box money due to sound decisions made by their forebears or pure luck inheriting land interests in massive mineral/O&G deposits) will change deal terms on a dime.
