A New Signee

[mrh1645]

He beat pre-season #1 at 145 Victor Voinovich 4-2 in finals at Brecksville Holiday Tournament in December.

Welcome to Penn State young man. We are fortunate to have you. All the luck in the world to you.

 

[crockster]

Welcome Austin! You made a great decision ! Wish much success!

Has Voinovich committed? He was at REC Hall with the coaches prior to the Navy match.

Free agent -- and that visit would be interesting because he has announced his finalists, and we're not on the list -- OKST, Cornell, anOSU.

I imagine he's coming for very little if any money at this point. Between him, Matt Lee and Adam Busiello, we have some options going forward for the 149 and 157 spots.

Has Lee committed to PSU? I don't recall an announcement.

 

[McScoreley]

Has Lee committed to PSU? I don't recall an announcement.

He wrestled at the Clarion Open, I think he's been doing the same thing as his brothers and being home schooled in State College this year.

 

[Brian LB-U]

Welcome Austin and family!

 

[PSU Mike]

Welcome, Austin!

Has Lee committed to PSU? I don't recall an announcement.

i don't think there was an official announcement, but he's been noted as a commit on the 'big board' lists

 

[El-Jefe]

Matt Lee committed.

That match with Facundo impressed me as much for Boone's competitive spirit as anything. That's a lot of weight to give up - especially against a top guy.

When was the last time, if ever, Penn State wrestling got a top recruit from the state of Michigan?

Here we go with the mom-physical-appearance stuff. It is rude. It would literally be illegal sexual harassment if it were in the workplace. The wrestlers probably think it is dorky and awkward and they probably don't like it. The wrestlers' fathers and mothers probably don't like it.

The football board is absolutely ridiculous with this stuff. It's creepy and weird. The posters who have images/gifs of barely clothed women are the worst. The constant posts about the bodies of women are gross. The people who posts pictures of co-eds, etc. It's weird and my guess is the people who say this kind of stuff on these boards have never actually talked to women because women can tell they are creeps who aren't worth their time.

Ah - I didn't know that. My bad.

And this is what I get from having to cut back a bit this season from searching for any and all PSU wrestling news ... from Dec. 16:

"Boone is hoping to make his college decision soon, he says it is down to Penn State and Oklahoma."

 

[82bordeaux]

There is nothing in the film on him I don't like. Even that tech by Matt Lee was his inability to defend the lace. That won't hurt him in Rec Hall one bit.The kid has game.

If you are interested, Lowell covers high school wrestling quite often on their radio station.....and there is a match today at 1:25: https://lowellradio.org/

 

[Gobert21]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I see he goes to Lowell HS in Michigan, that's Gabe Dean's HS right?

Yes it is. I lived about 10 minutes north of Lowell, even knew the principle of the high school. Yes the Dean clan is from there, there were about a hundred of them. Wrestling program is one of the best in the state, they are always one of the teams competing for state championships.

Lowell was also one of the best football programs in the state for years. But When Coach Dean retired they have fallen off.

yes,Mark later moved to the Mid West for college

I think this is a really great under the radar signing and at a weight that is probably needed in the near future. The match with Facundo was a good match. Played it a bit safe but Facundo is the number 1 overall recruit in his class so That’s understandable in my eyes. Having a win over Voinovich this year is huge. Most everyone saw Voinovich get a pin at WNO earlier this year. Just speaks to the quality of kid that Boone is. I’m pretty excited about this signing actually. Looking at lineup possibilities going forward 165-Hwy seem fairly straight forward and the same at 125-141/149 depending on redshirts and growth spurts. 157 seems really up in the air mainly because of Berges health. Having Boone and Matt Lee can hopefully help fill that spot.

TLDR-
Good under the radar signing who can help at 157 in the future

No hard feelings, foreverbluejeans. I think it is a culture gap. The older generation thinks they are being respectful because they know they don’t have any bad thoughts in their head. But the younger generation thinks such talk is just bad social graces that you just do not do.

The law sides with the younger generation, in the workplace, because the law believes such talk creates a hostile work environment. We should ask our wives if such talk is cool or not cool. I personally think that a wrestler’s father who comes on this list would not appreciate randos talking about the physical attractiveness of his wife. And I would guess the wife would not like it either. I can guarantee that not one of my female college or grad-school friends would have appreciated it even all those years ago.

This isn't the workplace and I'd almost guarantee she wouldn't mind that comment at all. Unless you're ugly or a creeper. If not you just say it with a laugh that she "looks like she can kick butt and look good doing it" and everyone laughs. The Dad as well. They wouldn't think again about it. Not saying I'd say it but still. I'm assuming you mean saying it in person? On here it would be pretty weird lol.
You forgot the generation, maybe different species, that actually knows what it appropriate and what is not and all the while not having be a pc weirdo.

Well, as long as an anonymous guy who has never met her can almost guarantee how she would react, I say case closed.
