Really?
Met him at The Saloon after graduation his Senior year. Really a nice guy, as was Dylan. Had his arm in a sling and he showed me his last surgical scar. It was a beaut.
That’s not how this administration works. You either figure it out or some kid who is a former NCAA finalist from Cornell comes in and takes your spot.
That's the coaches job too... to help the kid figure it out.
Yet, multiple times during the year there will be discussions about the field breaking just right, or it was an easy bracket, or weight.
Are they part of the ‘22 class and expected to sign during the early signing period?
Big prize in '22 is Jesse Mendez and he still has a Michigan visit. I heard the KJ hiring could be HUGE for them actually. The kid is very quiet on social media about his visits (no tweets or pictures of his PSU/Iowa visits, the Iowa one was a bit shocking because of how hype the weekend was overall there) but made it a point to tweet KJ a congratulations. Cael obviously still all in on him.
I dont think Mendez was in Iowa on that weekend. I could be wrong though.
Jesse’s dad sprained his ankle in the bleachers. After the fans booed his dad, Jesse crossed Iowa off his list
Feels like we're long overdue for some good news around here, as our last big news was just over 5 months ago back on May 20, and in between that watching everyone else load up and missing out on some transfers as well.
It's true that other programs are loading up, but Penn State is already loaded up, across all weights. We still have questions on the eventual starters at 149, 157 and 165, but even at those weights there is an enormous amount of great talent at Penn State now. We just have to see how it plays out on who the starter is. In addition, most of this talent is here for 3-4 years. Exceptional high school wrestlers looking at Penn State today are asking where would I crack the line-up and that would be an excellent question.
With our young our lineup is, I can see us with just a few this year ( like last year). Quality beats quantity, always.
Crazy to think the weights we have questions at, we have a number 1 and number 3 overall recruit at those weight classes. Those weights aren’t gonna be questions for long.
He would have had plenty of time to give his pitch at least, lol

Christian Carroll, the #2 recruit in the class of 2023, has flipped his commitment from Illinois to Penn.www.flowrestling.org
This is what I'm here for!!!!
If you would've told me 7 months ago after going 4 for 4 on Saturday night that we'd only be getting 1 recruit this off season, and that it would also be the first time Cael wouldn't land a Top 10 PFP, I would have said you're f'n crazy.
He’s another one that if a PSU fan says “its no biggie that we didn’t get him” , we are just being salty. Look, with what we have already from 174-197 and with Haines coming in as well, is missing out on him that big of a deal? PSU not being a big player recruiting right now is a good thing. The next four years will prove it.
And Iowa always seems to have a big recruiting cycle on PSUs and to some extents OK States off years. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Lol
The SVN/BeauBear vs. Bouzakis/Mendez battles are going to put lots of asses in seats!
