Current PSU Recruits & Commits news

It might be a much easier choice if your wife is from Oklahoma and an OSU alum, and decides she wants to go back home.

Not saying she has or will, but it's a distinct possibility.
Yeah I get that. I am friends with a physician who spent 10 years building a great practice in his central PA home area. His wife decided she wanted to move closer to her family (research triangle area) and in two weeks my friend was making arrangements for other physicians to pick up his patients, then sending notifications and in less than 6 weeks they were moved.
If the wife wants, the wife is going to receive.

Completely understood -- I had the opposite situation. Had a major career opportunity, interviewed for a 4-level promotion from mid-level peon to senior manager. And it was a good setup, unlikely to fail even with that big a jump.

But the job was in CT, and 3 hrs was too far away from my wife's family in the Philly suburbs. (Never mind that we live the same distance from my family, and that her brother spent 5 yrs in Michigan with no issues.)

So here we stayed. No regrets, I'd rather have her than that job.

But we did talk about it -- I gave her a list of places where my employer might someday force me to move, and in that situation maybe the distance to CT wasn't quite so intolerable.

Seems trolly, but then again I'm a year or two removed from high school, so maybe I just don't understand the kids.
The first 3 aren't all that odd -- he's supporting one school for something specific to that school. They're also all (along with PSU) among his final 4 schools.

The tweet at McGowan was odd, because he could've tagged both PSU and anOSU for that. But he only tagged PSU.

He's also had tweets unrelated to any school in which he tagged one school. And he appears to alternate which schools he does this with. Why not every time do all 4 or none? Alternating seems like wasted effort, but that's me.

Whatever, at least he hasn't proclaimed himself the best 197 in history.

Of note on Gibson, he’s not gotten any bigger between last March and now. He’ll be competing at 120 pound at NHSCAs. He could still be in for a growth spurt for sure, but as of now he still looks 25/33

For reference, Erik went 138-145 his first 2 years, and IIRC is being projected as a college 165.

If Mason is on a parallel glidepath, that would point toward college 141.

Rune could be a solid play but not sure if he would fit. We are packed solid.
Gibson might end up a career 125. He hasn’t really grown in a few years. I think two years ago he wrestled 115 in MS. Then last year at states 120 and this weekend at nhsca 120.
We can let Tan Tommy grab him or Magic Mike Grey
 
I would suspect that Manville being in state college is an obvious target?
Not an obvious target.

I think the door is open for him if he wants to come, but doubt he's a target in the sense of a recruiting push.

Also the "if he wants to come part" ... who knows. He's just a SO, and wrestling is important but not the top priority in that family. Carson is at Penn Tech and not wrestling there.

I'd be shocked if he picks a school this year.

Thanks. Certainly an impressive early resume.
 
Alright el-jefe. Give us the wish list and we can see if we landed one do them next week
 
Connor Harer is cruising at NHSCA’s. I was so excited to see little Harer and Desmond in the finals. But heard someone complained and little Harer was ruled ineligible and booted from the event. This is sad. Let the kid wrestle.
