OT - Car Talk...

Just was noticing that Toyota has revamped it's SUV lineup:

The levels appear to be:

2025 4runner starting at 43k

2025 Land Cruiser starting at 56k

2024 GX starting at $64k (although like the LX I imagine this is nearly impossible to get hands on)

I believe all are on the same platform and have different price levels.

Personally I'd go for the Land Cruiser. Not sure if it's limited at all (besides the special edition)

Any good competitors to these?

Incoming 2024 freshman class

Time to start taking a closer look at the 2024 Freshman class. Probably the best Cael has ever assembled. Below I put together some information on the incoming class, including any Flo rankings available from their most recent update. The Pound for Pound (PFP) ranking lists where they are in their class/and where they are overall including underclassman. Weight projection for college is somewhat in flux of course based on what they agree to with the coaching staff. I also tried to add some basic senior season highlights. Certainly, we should see Penn State enter many more open tournaments this year with so many good wrestlers needing matches. Coach Casey indicated that was the plan when he spoke to the Penn State Wrestling Club head of the Edinboro match. Should be a lot of fun tracking their progress and see who can crack the starting line-up this year. I'll try to correct any errors/omissions if they are pointed out.

Luke Lilledahl
PFP Ranking: 1/1
HS weight/ranking: 126/1
Weight projection for college: 125/133
Senior season: Lilledahl put his second consecutive prep crown in the books with a win over Charlie DeSena (Lake Highland Prep, FL) in the finals to end the season with a 22-0 record. The Seminary grappler was third at preps as a sophomore. Lilledahl spilt with No. 2 Jax Forrest (Bishop McCort, PA) last season and was 1-0 versus his rival this year with a win in the Ironman Finals, 2-1. The senior beat No. 3 Seth Mendoza (Mt. Carmel, IL) in overtime there as well.

PA HS Wrestling thread

Since Dunk requested a thread ...

Isaiah Vance is the returning PA AAA 285 runner-up to Hunter Catka, and the only wrestler Catka did not bonus all year. Heavy favorite to win this year. Borderline top 10 nationally. Won Powerade with a victory over Malvern Prep's Cole Deery (also national top 10) in the finals. Great pickup for Army.

OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

this thread is for daily updates on vaccinations given per day in the USA, and discussion about that.

I'm separating this out from the COVID-19 Testing & Treatment thread that's been on the board for most of the pandemic in the hope that thread can continue to focus on COVID-19 testing & treatment, and this thread can focus on COVID-19 vaccinations in the USA.

And while this seems to be a challenge for some of you when discussing this subject, please do not bring politics into this thread.
