Can Penn State Repeat 5 NCAA Champions Again in 2023?

With rumblings that Gable is coming back, Kerk being the 5th is an extremely daunting task. But I'll be that guy, don't forget Kerk was only down 3-2 to Gable and was getting to the leg this year when he was a shell of himself. Gable himself admits Kerk is by far his biggest challenge in NCAA.

Longer shots but in terms of competition, Levi and Bartlett probably have the best shot since their weight classes don't have some juggernaut (Van Ness obviously has Yianni and Facundo has like 3 juggernauts and simply AAing will be hard)

Even repeating the 4 champs (none of our champs are miles ahead of the field like Bo and Nolf used to be) will be very tough but that's what they said this year and it happened again.

How does Gable navigate coming back to college wrestling after all the hoopla of laying his shoes center mat at Nationals? Certainly it is entirely up to him, but, he looks a bit muddled.

With Gable out, I’d like to know who’s willing to bet money that if lost, would hurt, against them winning five.

Maybe his shoes are still there and he can just go and put them back on.
Hahaha
They rolled up the mat with the shoes still in there.

They unroll the mat for his finals match. Leaving Dean vs Ferrari as the last match of the finals.

For that to occur, Ferrari's legal difficulties need to be resolved by January to allow him to enroll someplace and wrestle. That is looking slim to none with slim about 90% out the door.

He could get it resolved if he took some kind of plea deal, but a plea deal in a sexual assault case keeps him from wrestling at the D1 level.

I included Ferrari in my post to add to the ridiculousness of it. 😱
