2024-25 PSU Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)
- Thread starter RB-Old
- Start date
There aint too much that's not better than my memory
Speculation and opinion welcome from any/all re: how Cael handles divying up the 9.9 with a specific focus on extra year guys like Beau, Carter and Kerk?
I have long thought Cael makes no promises other than say a 20% for new to recruits. Above that they have to be earned via some sort of a sliding scale - in such maybe a starter gets 50% a big 10 champ 75%, and a national champion 90%. I know this is not correct as several guys have claimed they got 100% early in their careers. The math just doesn't seem to add up with so many blue chippers.
In any case if Kerk, Beau and Carter all come back, obviously some of the kids waiting in the wings have to feel some of that effect in terms of less than expected scholy Dollars.
Sure NIL helps, but PSU tuition, room and board is no joke.
Thoughts?

Ditto… that was the first time a mod has ever censured my posts. I always consider my posts to be about as lame and non-inflammatory as they come 😅
I feel vice versa. Leave more 9.9 for new recruits, drop the scholarship later and put accomplished guys on NIL since there’s no cap on NIL. But no promise of NIL to HS kids (who knows what they do end of day?)
“9.9” is a relic. Most probably get minimal scholly, and are expected to cover it from NIL. NIL is BIG money; I know FB ain’t wrestling, but future bust USC QB Williams has made > $25 million ……(twenty five!)
I would guess those guys are getting enough NIL to cover everything and give them some spending money. As a 4-time champ, C-Star is a celebrity in the wrestling world, so his real NIL value should be very high.
I can't wait for SVN to throw Rathjen on his back and pin him in the first!This was from Flo in February:
Ahead Of Schedule
Shayne Van Ness sported a leg brace that appeared to allow an almost full range of motion as he headed into the wrestling room for practice on Tuesday.
It’s been rare to see Van Ness without a smile in the room when it is open to reporters. Maybe that’s odd for a wrestler considered a rising star who had this season — what was supposed to be his coming-out year — cut short by a knee injury. Not to the guys who really know him, Sanderson would say.
There’s more to that, though, and there may be a silver lining to the decision to shut Van Ness down in order to have surgery to repair something that had been ailing him for quite a while.
“He’s doing really well,” Sanderson said. “He’s ahead of where he probably should be. You hate losing a guy like Shane. Obviously, the energy and just you were seeing where he was trending and how well he was competing, but its going to be nice for him to feel good too, because he always kind of had that bum knee that was an issue for him off and on. Looking forward to getting him healthy and back in here every day.”
Penn State's Carter Starocci Ready To Leave Illness-Plagued Month Behind - FloWrestling
Three-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci has been in and out of the Penn State wrestling lineup while battling a lingering illness, but he's ready for March.www.flowrestling.org
Would be nice if his next handle would automatically go on ignore if you were ignoring his current handle.
Those posters love the attention. Ignore has been a great option for certain posters.
He (or maybe it's just the mod?) is hurting those trying to debate his points and having "their" same 1A rights denied by deletions. I don't want anyone banned. I wish his immediate return, but biomod should allow "civil" discourse before always seeming to favor giving biomed full voice while silencing others.
Guns vs Bushwood on the mat as an exhibition at the Olympic trials would be a barnburner. Especially if they bring their keyboards and their scrolls full of insults.Ah, okay. My quandary with biomed is that I find merit in plenty of his posts. Upon reentry, if he just stays civil and plays nice with others, I doubt he’ll be in timeout again, or cause so many of our bio comebacks to become vapor.
Hate to see anyone “dispatched for good.”
Got it. Guess I've been punked a bit by a guy gaming the system. Don't think anyone of his "versions" should be banned though.
Message boards are not covered under the first amendment. The first amendment starts with "Congress shall make no law". The Bill of Rights (and really the whole Constitution) is a document intended to strictly limit what the government can do. It does not cover message board moderation.
I don't really care either way. I don't get triggered by him so if they want to let him post, so be it, but the discourse on here is clearly much better without him, too.
Then I would simply ask the mod to apply the same standards to all posters.
Great. Now the mods think they have more power than congress. Next thing you know we will be trillions of dollars in debt.
Not all wrestlers are demanding money. Never have. Many have parents who have budgeted and planned to pay… the same parents who paid a small fortune sending kids to copious clubs, tourneys, and private schools to maximize their kids dreams.
This is part of Cael saying that if they have to work too hard to convince them to commit, it often doesn’t work out.
Yes, everyone wants more money. Some need it to attend PSU. But it absolutely does not drive a significant portion of wrestling families. One of the many things our friends on GIA don’t understand… a little bit of money and a lot of great coaching and comfortable culture and dream chasing goes further than more money with those other things less a “fit” for lots of guys.
One of our “Blue chippers” moved w mom, leaving dad behind to work and pay the bills, into a house without modern bathrooms (literally had an outhouse) to get into the right high school situation for them. It wasn’t sbout the money.
Speaking of medreds, if SVN wants one, how many years will he have left, 3?
Why are we so consumed with Iowa? Who cares… OSU is the one to keep an eye on not Iowa!
Why do I still watch The 3 Stooges a few times a week?
iowa is more of a joke with us than consumed!
2024 - 2025 Penn State Wrestling Lineup Could Be Better Than the One That Just Set Records!

All the asterisk talk about this year’s point total may become moot in future years if these next super classes pan out. Like the winning margin, we might put the total point record way out of reach.
PSU is ascending and all the others are descending!
I like learning new words on here but come on the definition of this one and how you used it is twisting my brains!
