Aaron Seidel was from Elco, but wrestled elementary many years for Conrad Weiser(alongside Brayden Hartranft). He then wrestled for Elco in 7th grade junior high, then went to NL and redid 7th grade and competed for NL in 8th grade junior high.

Well deserved, especially for how quickly Williamsport has risen back to prominence.
Desmond sounds very impressive. Is it RBY type quickness? Stronger than his opponents? High motor?
Definitely a high motor. He is quick, but nobody has RBY type quickness.
I don't think it's strength. He moved up to 113 and split matches with fellow FR Parkins (who was ranked nationally but DNP this weekend, because AAA 113).
He's been very good on the freestyle circuit too.
FULL COURT PRESS !!!!
Is some sort of plan coming together? 🤔🤫🧐
Great job Dalton. Great kid and a great school
He has a ton of Penn state gear and grandma said his dream is to wrestle for PSU. Let's go Dalton

pupils in college; Tim Darling, Mike Rogers, and his three sons were majorly successful in HS, amongst others). But all of those kids were great with legs, fabulous sense of balance, and super physical.
The club and that system have been resurrected by Desmond’s uncle, Seth (R12 at Lehigh and a 2x PA silver medalist). Nate is the platonic ideal of the style they teach there. He’s not elite on his feet yet, and will need to get there to be elite at the next level. But he’s super comfortable on the mat, has a million turns, great on bottom. That part of his game is developed way beyond a freshman.
He’s super polished on top. His grandfather, Mike Ciasulli, founded Red Hawk wrestling, which produced basically every really good top kid in the Lehigh Valley and western NJ in the 2000s (Hudson Taylor, Kellen Russell, and Mike McMullen were his most successful

Just gotta get all of that Lehigh out of his system -- lots of trips to M2 will help.
I think what Crookham does at Lehigh will influence some decisions for some young local talent. Santoro has had success in getting Lehigh Valley kids.
I
Warwick 1968. Cousin wrestled at Manheim Central when their 100 match streak was broken. Our heavy weight and Central’s had some epoch battles.
I will be surprised if he doesn't end wrestling in reverse looking to generate one or two shots a match from his opponent chasing in to him.
He would have been better served at PSU, Cornell, Ohio State, Iowa, Michigan or NCST.
Particularly kids from his alma mater. And the next kid Cael gets out of the Lehigh Valley will be his first, which remains the weirdest thing in Pennsylvania recruiting.
Other than Sasso not sure I can think of any that I believe we missed out on.
I’m sorry but Karam just reminds me of a vampire from Twilight
Racciato took an official visit for a football weekend, and supposedly the family stayed at Cael's house. But he got a better offer from Pitt, and likely wouldn't have been a full-time starter at PSU (he never beat Beitz in HS or college).
Pretty sure PSU was interested in Labriola, but we did OK at that weight.
IIRC Condomitti's dad said on here that there was some mutual interest, but not sure how far that got before the Nebraska decision.
We did land a depth HWT -- Alex Nicholas -- I think he placed AA 4th as a SR, not a high-profile recruit. Pretty sure he's the only one Cael has gotten from D11.
They’re obviously doing it right, it’s just kind of weird. I think they’ve landed kids from every other major district in the state, and I think they’re have been 9 different kids from
D11 earn AA honors since Cael has been there. And they’re not even in on kids. Again, obviously doing it right. It’s just kind of weird.
Here's the AAA 215 finish. Weightman had a really impressive run, considering he had a late-season football injury and was basically held together with duct tape.
Thanks El-Jefe and all the others who delivered great insights on the tournament. Great weekend, one I do miss being down South. Looking forward to this week.
