Behind a paywall. Not a good start IMO.

Try now! It should've been marked free, but in the future our wrestling recruiting talk will likely be a paid subscriber thing.

It opens for free now, you do get a subscribe popup but you can click through it.

So, the analysis is:

Steen ~= Gulibon
Van Ness ~= Zain
Facundo ~= Morgan
Lucas Cochran ~= Quentin

Edit: At first I thought on principle that such comparisons are cheesy. But upon rereading, I think the author did a good job, and the comparisons actually are helpful and not too annoying.

So the wrestling site that has always been free, we’re now going to have to pay for?

Not what I wanted to hear.

I believe he means recruiting write ups or articles, not the forums!

Fear not, Mineo is still free

That’s how I read it too - no big deal

Thanks, Dick!

Thanks, Dick!

This one took a lot longer than I expected lol

 

[amattaro]

There you go, boys. Unless we are getting the old rope-a-dope, the new bosses are run of the mill jerk offs, just like us!

Gulibon drove me absolutely bonkers. I will continue to maintain very tempered expectations with our 125, and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

I blame it on the small hands.....


or maybe it was the long hair.

Nope. It was the headgear that he couldn't get to stay in place

Lmao. I forgot about that one!

 

[Sportfan2017]

Fear not, Mineo is still free

"Free" as in not behind bars? So Plagiarism Penitentiary has work release? I kid

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

BECAUSE of the long hair

Maybe the smell of cabbage???

It was the combination. The hands were simply too small to keep the long hair out of his eyes. 🥸

Glad you’re hanging around the old/new site JS. 👍

Or it was the fact he didn't score points. Hopefully we get someone at 125 that will put some points on the board and we're not starting all of our duals in the hole.

I thought that was a good article. The author knows about wrestling, PSU and recruiting. Not your run of the mill, student written, error filled article we seem to get too often.

 

[PSU James]

Unless the PSU administration does something like shoot themselves in the foot, PSU wrestling is going to crush it for 4 more years. Please DON'T RUIN A GOOD THING!!!!!

Unless the PSU administration does something like shoot each other in the knee, PSU wrestling is going to crush it for 4 more years. Please DON'T RUIN A GOOD THING!!!!!
