Not sure how much stock to put in this, but does mean Verkleeren and Shak tonight?

This is a great description -- of Cenzo.
Does Busiello have "excellent" potential? Let's wait and see how he does here first.
And can we draw any conclusions about his growth from this one registration? Is he at 157 because he grew, or because he (like many redshirts) just wants to compete without worrying about managing weight?
Yeah. Based on this I’d Predict Shak, Verk, Meredith going twice. Berge and Pipher split. But I definitely don’t have a plan.
David Taylor wrestled 135 his senior year of high school and wrestled 157 his first year at PSU while redshirting.
Busiello wrestled 138 his senior year of high school and is wrestling 157 his first year at PSU while redshirting.
Could Busiello wrestle 149 if he had too, probably. Could DT have wrestled 149 his first year at PSU, no idea.
Both had big jumps in their weight classes from their junior to senior year in high school.
Busiello is similar to DT in being a late bloomer physically. Does Busiello continue to grow who knows. Based upon his high school career, he is an excellent prospect, not the elite prospect that DT was. Key word is prospect, he will need to get stronger and adjust to wrestling bigger guys.
We'll have to agree to disagree on "excellent" prospect. I think he's a good prospect but need more evidence before willing to go with excellent.
I do think he'll be excellent on top. Less convinced about feet and bottom -- that's where I need to see more.
The pack caught up with him last year. DNP at Super 32 (losses to Van Ness and Serrano), and pinned by Aragona at Beat the Streets. How much of that was him adjusting to the new weight? Or how much was not facing lightweight 14-15 year olds? Time will tell.
Yeah, but he can't hit the curve.Can't blame him for that one. Serrano is huge.
Berge both mathes---Pipher and Verk split maybe.---If Berge only wrestler 1 match---something wrong--in my option.
Your spelling tells me Siri has atarted drinking early this morning!
I thought Cael just mentioned this week that Berge will be in and out.
Or it could be that they want to have him wrestle a match and see how he feels over the next few days. Can't read to much into managing a concussion.
As long as Berge is taking the mat there is nothing wrong, just caution. If there was any indication that things were out of sorts, he would not step onto the mat.
Was that a non-wrestling analogy? Are you trying to be insubordinate? And churlish?Can't blame him for that one. Serrano is huge.
I am officially concerned.Was that a non-wrestling analogy? Are you trying to be insubordinate? And churlish?
@slushhead too.
Is it possible Busiello is registered to wrestle 157 this weekend while descending to 149 and eventually compete for that spot?
Was that a non-wrestling analogy? Are you trying to be insubordinate? And churlish?
You got me.
No more sports analogies starting.....now.
You got me.

Wouldn't analogies using wrestling metaphors be sports analogies?
As of right now, we are batting 0.
You got me.

isn't this tournament at millersville? why would BTN be involved? i must be missing something
Yea, I don't get the implied connection either. Actually, if the later were a potential possibility, I think it's likely he would be wrestling the Tourney (unless the poster is talking about this Sunday's dual).
I fear Berge has had another setback, possibly unable to clear concussion protocol. As I've stated previously, I'm a big fan of Busiello and he has a great potential upside, but he's not an answer for us at 149-157 this year, he needs a year to train in the room.
