Not sure about ASC since that was exhibition (wouldn't think that would affect RS). If Kasak wrestles in this attached it definetly burns his shirt. He could potentially wrestle unattcahed to preserve itWell it certainly seems like we will all have the popcorn out for the Facundo vs Kasak show at 157. Do we have confirmation both are going?
I assume both the AllStar classic and this tourney do not count against a redshirt, correct?
It was in a flo interview with coaches, I thought they said, they expected that to pull his RS, but it did not. I could of been dreaming but I don't think so.Not sure about ASC since that was exhibition (wouldn't think that would affect RS). If Kasak wrestles in this attached it definetly burns his shirt.

Good news for Braeden.
Cael said all starters were going, that must mean that Braeden is wrestling.Why Braeden Specifically?
Penn State has 20 wrestlers registered, including all starters, but that’s subject to change up until the day of the event. Imagine no decision will be made until it needs to be.Cael said all starters were going, that must mean that Braeden is wrestling.
Hope to see Sealy as wellI hope everyone wrestles
Would love to see these 5 weights and how the incumbents do (184, 197 and hwt) and how starting weights up for grabs go (157,197)
Plus to see LL vs a healthy McHenry
125 LL, Mchenry
157 Kasak vs Facundo
184 starochi , Ryder
197 Barr , Cochran , mirasola
Hwt Kerk , mirasola
He’s not on the entry list but I’m sure that can change. I wonder why he isn’t going? I would be really excited to see him compete hereHope to see Sealy as well
Matt Lee?!?! Gotta be honest, I totally forgot that guy even existed.2024 Black Knight Invitational Entries - FloWrestling
All the wrestlers registered to compete at the 2024 Black Knight Invite, one of the premier tournaments of the 2024-25 NCAA D1 wrestling season.www.flowrestling.org
All entries. Excited to see 197 with Cochran, Barr, and Mirasola all going. Also 125 with Lilledahl and McHenry and obviously 157. Would love to see Ryder vs CStar as well. Should be a fun tournament
Haven’t heard a peep about Sealey. Interesting note though. There are only 3 wrestlers on PSU roster not certified, Sealey, Nagao and Erik Gibson. Could mean they all injured and that’s why they haven’t certed yet? Just throwing that out there. No knowledge if that’s why they haven’t certified.Hope to see Sealy as well
Not if Gary Steen beats Davis out for the spot, then wins the Natty. WIN STEEN WIN!I think when kasak win the national title this year his red shirt almost has to be pulled.
It's just a MamamamamaMatter of time...Rutgers is a perennial Top 10 team..
NoMy guess is the plan is to redshirt Connor Mirasola, but for the sake of discussion, if he blows through the field and beats Cochran and Barr, would that change anything?
I don't think it matters if he blows through the competition. My sense from listening to Cael is that his first priority when deciding on redshirting his wrestlers is to do what the athlete prefers. All indications are that Connor prefers to redshirt alongside his brother. The second priority is if the team really really needs points to win the Natty. This year we don't need them so I can't see Cael pushing him to not redshirt for this reason either.My guess is the plan is to redshirt Connor Mirasola, but for the sake of discussion, if he blows through the field and beats Cochran and Barr, would that change anything?
That Penn State is:
That Penn State is:
A. Really good
B. Really really good
C. Best ever
Gable coming back knocks you guys down a peg, thank god. and hopefully you'll go with Facundo at 157. Davis could pull a Davis again. Bartlett is taking 3rd. I'll cross my fingers that Lilledahl sucks on the mat.
I'm not saying it's certain. But there's a path to PSU taking second.
Understatement of the year (bolded). Pretty sure (no I'm positive) that there were rumblings like this early last year.I'm not saying it's certain. But there's a path to PSU taking second.
FIFY 😈That Penn State is:
A. Really good
B. Really really good
C. Best ever
D. A lot better than Iowa

It appears the Rutgers contingent will be very light, if one goes by Flo's list of participants.Rutgers is a perennial Top 10 team and will prove it- AGAIN- by finishing top 10 in this field.
I agree, this team just might only get second, who knows maybe even third...Gable coming back knocks you guys down a peg, ..... I'm not saying it's certain. But there's a path to PSU taking second.
I’d rather have Davis pull another “Davis” than Davis pull a Spencer Lee. That whole spectacle was an embarrassment. Getting pinned wasn’t the issue, it was bailing on his teammates afterwards, his mom’s hatred for eyewear and his daddy doing interviews for him. 🤦♂️Gable coming back knocks you guys down a peg, thank god. and hopefully you'll go with Facundo at 157.

Separate, yet related 🥸Daddy doing an interview was a separate incident sir.
And after all that he still managed the best finish of our men’s Olympic wrestling team, guess it all worked out okay for him.I’d rather have Davis pull another “Davis” than Davis pull a Spencer Lee.

That doesn't change the fact that his last college wrestling appearance was a total embarrassment on many levels.And after all that he still managed the best finish of our men’s Olympic wrestling team, guess it all worked out okay for him.
Did it? He didn’t seem to think so…And after all that he still managed the best finish of our men’s Olympic wrestling team, guess it all worked out okay for him.
