Brody Teske - Flo Radio Live
- Thread starter CholleyVandine
- Start date
Vak it is my spreadsheet and I have posted more than once for those who have asked about it, that the kids listed in the recruiting part are local (PA, NJ, MD) kids who are highly rated OR kids that have had PSU mentioned in their recruiting publicly.
No forecasts or projections - just a list of possible kids PSU may or may not be recruiting.
You are not always here, so I'm guessing you missed this.
But I like dunke's reponse a little better.
I did not miss it nor do I think it's objectionable. I think it's interesting and fun for Penn State fans. I was pointing out that homeboy was trying to mock Iowa posters for doing something similar, though less formalized.
I did not think this was the case, probably because I interpreted his post as ripping on the Iowa board for assuming someone they are recruiting was going to commit and then penciling them in future lineups.
Which I disagree with. I think most on the HR are pretty realistic about recruiting, in fact if anything, many are a little too pessimistic about their chances on some.
Odd how a couple posters can drive the drama for most of a fan base.
I don't know much about Teske. Don't recall seeing him wrestle either. Does he have a lanky build like maybe Nico, or stockier, like a Joey Dance? Or maybe chiseled out of granite like Smalls?
I was looking at the 2016 Cadet finals against Jordan Decatur and Teske actually looked a lot less physically mature than Decatur. Like a lot.
Ok, thanks. I'm hearing a lot about Teske being a career 125, and if he does commit, well, I hope he is. There's been a lot of talk about a log jam at 133-141 in the coming years. Busiello coming in too! Good problem to have to sort out for the staff.
Yeah, I watched that too. He was horsed a few times but I liked that he kept coming, unafraid to put himself in risky positions. A little sloppy but that's fine at his age. Great instincts and feel.
The below match is a better indicator of where he's at in folkstyle, a barn burner from this past December vs Bryce West who's going to wrestle at Northern Illinois. Teske in white singlet.

Kid has a great gas tank and really goes for it. Looks like a Cael kind of guy.
PSU log jams hit these guys
Busiello- best bet is if he stays small and wrestles off with Teske or gets big and follows N. Lee at 149 (will he stay committed?)
Verkleeren- likely to never start. Outside shot if he hangs around and N. Lee never redshirts
Berge or J. Lee- one year on bench
Manville- 2 years on bench unless Olympic RS.
The 2018 studs are mostly unaffected.

If any Penn State fan really believes that Willie Saylor recruits for the school you need to reevaluate your understanding of their recruiting.
The C's know what they are doing.
Willie Saylor has to help? Funniest ongoing belief on this forum for years! It is fallacious information. Case closed.
Buh-bye.

Pretty sure everyone here, plus Willie, get that it's an ongoing joke and nothing more. Stale joke that's been run into the ground, sure, but just a joke.
I'll take Things Nobody Believes (Except Maybe Other Teams' Fans) for $500, Alex.
I don't know what's funniest: that you believe people believe it, that you felt the need to say this or that you did it with such attitude. Ah, heck, I'm going with the trifecta.
Now, stop right there for just one freaking minute!
Willie isn't our chief recruiter?
Well then who in the Sam hill is it that gives out those slush fund checks I keep contributing to. I mean come on. Every time that Prince from Austin Texas calls me to say he has another stud recruit for Penn State and he just needs another $1,000 to buy the kid a pair of wrestling sneakers and a plane ticket to State College I give. What in the name of Saint Pete is going on here?

Don't believe that sh*! . Recruiting wise everything revolves around Willie. I'm cutting another check first thing Friday morning. Keeping Willie in the fold is one of my priorities in life....Right behind eating....
Slush to the rescue, if needed!
Are you saying you need someone else to step up and create some drama?
I think Ames may have beaten me to it.
They get disappointed with me all the time...I find a way to live, lol.
Respectfully, Ames, your post triggers two questions (one serious, the other for fun):
(1) Are you now voicing strong exception to the Recruiter Willie gag because the FRL speculation on Teske is off-base and potentially causing problems?
(2) How can you rail on the Recruiter Willie gag yet leave the astronomically inappropriate insinuations of one Spyker/Psu-Rings/Psu-Champs go unaddressed?
EDIT: And really, I'm not trying to be an ass. I'm sincerely just curious.

Yeah, you're one of my favorites over there. Call it like you see it and don't care if it pisses anyone off. Not many there will do that. Lol
The 'meme' that i help recruit for Penn State is a long-running joke. It originated on Hawkeye Report with several posters saying several times that I assist the PSU staff in recruiting.
it's so audacious. but the guys on BWI (here) took it and ran with it. and frankly, i get a kick out of it every time it's referenced.

The joke has been run into the ground, but at least it is still beating Nico in the room! <groan>
BTW, great work on Teske, and hopefully Cael can close your deal with Brooks next weekend. Then you can focus on 2019, McHenry and Starocci, maybe throw in Ruth.
Shoot.
So what are you doing with those checks I keep sending?
If a joke evokes a collective smile or chuckle can it truly have been run into the ground?
Teske is a very high motor wrestler who tends to wear opponents down with hand fighting and pressure. He has the right mental makeup to be a solid D1 wrestler. I do think his likely ceiling is mid level AA imo and I am a fan. I have heard nothing but great things about the type of person he is from kids who have competed with/against him since early youth wrestling. It is no secret that ISU wanted him a great deal. I will have no problem wishing him all the best at PSU and can't fault him for wanting the opportunity to join a team like that. I still think this may end up not happening and he may stay instate no matter what is said today (time will tell).
PSU has so many weapons present and future when compared to ISU it is really unlikely Brody Teske is the same priority recruit for both schools.

Willie didnt break the news, CP did.
no way on earth the nugs came from PSU. My guess is the school(s) not getting visits now started b!tching about it and Flo got word. People say the crying on the boards is bad, but the whinning by coaches is worse, they just do it over texts and certainly in Ft Lauderdale.
Like it or not Flo is wrestling media, and their nugs are nothing compared to what we see from the football/basketball obsessed recruiting companies. I would also venture a guess they hear double digit nugs every day that they dont say.
if we get the #1 kid in iowa, I dont care what it costs. If we did it without his parents relocating, even better.
People of all walks want "inside info", getting it and talking about is an industry now. pretty hard to put that jeanie back in the bottle. Clicks pay its that simple. Content drives clicks. Content is manufactured. is what it is to me.

Getting the number 1 kid from Iowa, especially without his parents relocating - that made me chuckle.
Didn't need to get Dad a job at Juniata College or Lock Haven either.
