Champs by weight under Cael @ PSU

[GhostK]

125: 1 (Nico)
133: 0
141: 0
149: 4 (1 Molinaro, 3 Zain)
157: 2 (Nolf)
165: 4 (2 DT, 2 Cenzo)
174: 3 (1 Ruth, Brown, 1 Hall)
184: 5 (1 Q, 2 Ruth, 2 Nickal)
197: 1 (Q)
HWT: 0

With Nolf, Cenzo, Hall and Nickal I think we could easily add another 4-6 titles from 157-184.

The question is: why have we had so much success between 149-184, and comparatively struggled at 125-141 and 197-HWT?

Does Coach Casey get the bulk of the credit for the middleweight success? Do we need better coaching for lightweights and heavies?

I think you have way too small of a sample size in both time and numbers to make any kind of meaningful conclusions. You only have so many scholarships per year. Are you seriously suggesting that Cael should have chose someone else other than Zain or Bo or Jason or Cenzo or Mark or Nick? That would be absurd. Once more scholarships opened up they get Lee, Beard, Seth, RBY etc. I think they have done an incredible job. The bus to Utopia doesn't stop here.....or anywhere else.

Maybe we should just enjoy the success and not over analyze or get too entitled. Being National champ is an incredible accomplishment. After being at the tournament it is an incredible accomplishment to AA. I think we all know our results at lightweights have weaker overall than our middle or upper weights. However, Nico was awesome and We had others AA. To me that is impressive and something most teams would die for. And no way we have a great group coming in. Also, I don’t think struggled at 197 or heavyweight. A Champ and a number of AAs in the tournament over the past 8-9years. We have been blessed to witness what is going on at PS.

Maybe Cael should fire his brother and hire GhostK.


If anything, it’ll keep KK off of the boards.

They thought they had their 125lb’r. Then he left and screwed them at the lower weights until 2019. (Bumps or redshirts next year )


Lower weights will be better in a few years

I think we will always be good at 149-184 Bc is the talent they find that can bump up in weight
