I’m not saying that isn’t true, who knows…but Robby seems fairly confident.
I think we can rule out McHenry magically becoming a full sized 125, he's had 4 years in college to do it and still isn't it.
That being said, this is a fantastic addition. I can't imagine he is demanding much scholarship and more likely sees an opportunity at PSU to be part of an amazing lineup. I think he can be a NQ level guy if he's the starter and in the very least, he doesn't seem likely to ever get blown out (since he's so skilled and quick) Saw he had a 15-7 win over Nick Babin last year (who was R16) and also obviously was in SV with Figs.
125 is weak next year that if you just get a guy there and maybe with a favorable bracket, you can have him get on the podium. Not counting on that much obviously but once again, love this addition.

Just catching up here.
1) Don’t think this says much about Robbie other than what we already knows.
2) Get the impression McHenry is paying his own way.
3) Two years of eligibility left, could maaaaybe get a waiver for 3.
4) McHenry has some serious freestyle aspirations and this helps with those.
5) I’m not super high on Kurt in folk and never have been but he’s a waaay better Plan B than we’d had recently at 125

Did you see it? They were in a 50/50 position and McHenry almost came out on top.
125-7/8
133-1/2
141-1/2
149-1/2
157- 1
165- AA
174-1
184- 1/2
197- 1
Hwy-1
8 Finalists= 160 no bonus points. It looks like the record is within reach

While we may not currently like the portal because it’s new and it’s kind of the wild wild West…. I couldn’t agree more. There are a thousand reasons why kids want to transfer every year. It’s their first away from home, new coaches, new relationships, new pressures and new problems. If a kid decides to transfer every year then so be it. The coach, parents and schools are accountable, “or should be” for these kids while they are at their school and for a long time they haven’t been. Brief chat with someone very close to Chance Marsteller who was sold a bag of goods by OSU and John Smith and then held hostage for far too long. And yes we know change had his own demons. Still, Absolutely ridiculous! It is incumbent on that coach to create and foster an environment for these young men “kids” to thrive. Not just in sport, but in life. If that coach can’t do it, if the kid feels he has a better chance to succeed elsewhere, then he deserves that. Coaches can leave at will, teachers can leave at will, students can leave at will. The same should apply to student athletes. Period, end of story and it’s not negotiable! When it’s your kid in that situation then you will think the same way.
Don't forget about Ayala

I wish my kids got athletic scholarships so I could talk about how unfair athletic scholarships are.
No amount of scholly money is worth what some coaches put athletes through mentally and physically.
Oh I know, and the worst part is that guys can’t just up and leave yet, or cash in on their names, or images, or likeness.
So McHenry is another one who would be a high podium guy if 118 still existed?
It will be interesting to see who makes it to March out of that group. Can Cael finally get a NQ and dare I say point scorer out of 125? It certainly hasn't been needed, but it is a touch frustrating considering all the other successes. I know it's beyond first world problems, but I want more.

I'm thinking this is the main reason. Any PSU impact will be a bonus.
A lot depends on Robert Howard's injury status. If Howard can get (and stay) healthy, he's probably one of the better guys in the country at 125 and the job is likely his. However, based on Howard's injury history, that's a big "if".
If Howard can't go, gotta think that McHenry is the next best option for at least 2023-24. This would enable Davis to a needed redshirt year. As of a few months ago, Steen still needed a lot of work. And Nasdeo is apparently taking a greyshirt, which should surprise no one.
Unless Steen jumps levels by the fall (which would be great but I wouldn't count on it), McHenry seems like the no-brainer best option if Howard is unavailable.
I'm counting on Steen jumping levels.
I knew if we waited long enough, Psugos 125 transfer would come to pass...
As big a psu fan as the next guy but let’s pump the brakes here a bit…
125…..always a question mark
133…..3/4
141…..1/4
149…..2/4
157……1/2
165…..who goes….Facundo? Better find some offense before I pencil him as an AA
174…..1
184…..1/3
197…..1
285….1/2
Fair enough, but if Shayne is capable of taking a four-timer like Yianni into deep waters (which he did), I’m calling him a contender in his second year as a starter. Personally, I’d give him a better chance than Beau at this point.
Why are you always going plural...just sack up and say "me" instead of "we".
You don't really need all those numbers to face little old misfit me do ya tough guy?
uh oh. looks like a parking lot show down comin
We got their backs.😇uh oh. looks like a parking lot show down comin
Maybe under a bridge!uh oh. looks like a parking lot show down comin
LOL. Include me in that we.uh oh. looks like a parking lot show down comin
Plenty of bridges around Johnstown. Lmfaouh oh. looks like a parking lot show down comin
I was thinking Messenbrink can AA next year same with Mchenry. The rest Truax/SVN/BB all making the finals is unlikely but.. I did not see BB/SVN/Levi finishing 3/3/2 this year either.
Na. Just wondering why dude needs 50 posters to dig at the most hated poster on here with zero backup.uh oh. looks like a parking lot show down comin
I get it, Shane had a phenomenal tournament…..if that’s the Shane we saw this year then he can definitely win…..I assume sasso stays at 49 and ridge Lovett will be back this year…..def has a chance though
You’re not the most hated poster. And if you can manage to laugh off the occasional joke at your expense, folks will probably like you even more. Just my unsolicited $0.02.
Well said
McPat here knows a thing or 3 about getting balls busted, after all what kind of man drinks White Claws??
See how this goes PSUgo??
You gotta toughen up,yet lighten up,all at the same time! We’ll be patient while you get this figured out.
