2021-2023 Transfer Portal news

[mcpat]

Interesting reading this I decided to go back and look at the brackets and I just don’t see it , too many weights with no points.

PSU:

Champs at 141 (NLee), 165 (Cenzo), 174 (Hall) and 184 (Brooks). High finishes from RBY and Shakur (who had just beaten Warner at Big Tens and was rounding into wrestling shape after the long injury layoff). I have them at 103-109 before bonus.

Iowa:

Marinelli was slated to see Wick (big-time Krypotonite for Marinelli over his career) in the quarters. Warner was going to see Rasheed in 2nd round (Rasheed had just beaten him at Big Tens). Young had just gone 0-2 at Big Tens and had lost his last 3 matches. Lugo was a one-seed with 8th place being his best ever NCAA tournament performance.

To each his own, but I’m convinced PSU was going to win.

We have NIL money; it just won't be offered upfront as a signing bonus.

I imagine Nagao talked to the wrestlers and has an idea of what is available. If he feels he can put together a fair package, he might still pick us, unless Iowa made an offer he can't refuse.

The only offer Iowa could make better is if a NIL deal came from Johnson & Johnson. Something like 100 dollars for every foot of bandages used in the HR.

PSU it is. Damn. We are stacked.

Oh boy, Iowa wrestling fans on suicide watch.

 

[mcpat]

It’s PSU fellas!

Woohoo!!!

 

[CropDuster507]

Holy cow

Holy crap

Ok

 

[PAgeologist]

Wow. Welcome aboard.

One thing young grasshopper...
Wrestling is not a selfish sport.

*keeps refreshing the potential lineups thread 2024-2027

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Covid also gave Iowa an Ivy-league-free path to points. 1 champ vs 4 for PSU. As the Ivy teams and others kept Iowa's back side results artificially elevated. 15.5 points isn't that much when the competition it tougher. Our champs win regardless. I'm of the opinion we win in a normal 'full' competition 2021 year.

2021*

It's almost unfair. No it's not!

[CSauertiegPSU]

Well, safe to say I got got on this one. Apologies if anyone feels misled but I trust my information and they were confident here

 

[zzs006]

This team on paper has to be the best of all time. If Robbie is healthy 10 AA’s and 5+ champs isn’t out of the question. Crazy

 

[mcpat]

Crazy that we still have a 125 lber transferring in yet too

 

[Phantom of the Palestra]

I'm gonna give Mineo the benefit of the doubt and assume that he just said all that to crush the Iowa fanbase's souls.

 

[HAMMER167]

and it’s Coach Casey’s birthday too!!

Higher power at work. It’s like he halfway said University, and something washed over him, forcing him to say Penn State University.

 

[zzs006]

Do you think he changed his mind or was it just a well done smokescreen all along?

 

[creamery freak]

A big thank you to JTS for his behind the scene's recruiting!

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I don't post much on here , but I'm calling Nagao to Penn State. I got a feeling..... If I'm wrong it will just reinforce the reason I hardly post on this forum.

It looks like you and @johnstownsteel
get to stay!

Couldn’t happen to a classier fanbase.

 

[jack66]

This should make the HR faithful/Ironbird happy. They can continue their 'Carl can't coach' narrative into 2028 after he wins his 7th straight.

The landlord, though, will have a hard time explaining how the playing field has leveled. He had the misinformed notion that it was all about the money.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

I think it was probably a smokescreen. But at this point I was far enough off track here that I’m not confidently gonna say anything.

 

[aalion]

Just gonna allow Iowa fans to say “yep, PSU delivers the cheese - that’s how they recruit”

 

[Phantom of the Palestra]

We only need Carr and Noto to complete the NCAAvengers.

 

[tullfan68]

But he was injured all season and that's the reason he lost and defaulted out. But he is entered in the U.S. Open. He is a quick healer unlike his mom's glasses..

it cracks me up how Spencer said excuses are for wusses,but everytime he lost he said he had an injury!!

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I'm hoping Cael promised a couple of California dual meet trips to seal the deal.

 

[PAgeologist]

Gonna be a good night...

You guys called it. I was convinced he was going Iowa. Good job keeping the faith.

By the way, you can turn the cattle prod off and let Nagao out of your basement. He chose us.

I’m sorry but it was the only way to get someone to expose the bags iowa is offering, which he just did on Basch. 🥸

One response:

“It was always gonna be an uphill battle to catch Penn st. The transfer portal all but ended any chance of catching them on an “off” year or “rebuilding” year.
Team titles will be wrapped by Friday night going forward. Only reason to watch is to see if a hawk wins in the finals or to see if any of the 5 Penn st finalists will lose.
Portal is trash
NIL how it is is trash
This is the death of parity
The spirit of college competition is dead
Every other school is a farm league for Penn st.
Iowa may get some crumbs but how it’s set up currently, sorry to say, it’s over”

That cannot be true. The playing field is level according to BS Bob Nicholls.

Ole' 50/50 Bob needs to re-evaluate.
