when will the eligibility and recruit target spread sheet be updated. Mostly good as a reference tool.
 
I always pictured a svelte Diceman. Guy hustles.
Looks like this?

There was a day when this could be close:rolleyes:. More Tony Curtis, though, that's what one of my teammates freshman year dubbed me (that's really dating me, how long has it been since a college freshman knew who Tony Curtis was???).

Unfortunately, I'm looking a lot more like LHaven lion's image these days. Trying to get a bit more svelte right now though, so I'll check back in June (target weight by June 28th!!!!) Lots of hurdles between now and then though - Washington Crossing Brewfest is the first this week.

Enjoying my lunch right now (fit for the birds), so maybe I will get off my fat a$$ and get on the sheet.;););)
 
@dicemen99 , is your call of Robbie Howard at 133 about PSU's needs or where you really see Howard winding up? I know nothing other the few videos I've seen, but he kind of reminds me of NaTo, build-wise.
 
Did a quick makeover - let me know if I missed anything. How's that for hustle?
Thanks for the update, unfortunately Richie Figs verbally committed to ASU so you can take him off. Though he is still a HS sophomore and it is only a verbal...better leave him on there.
 
Out of all of the possible recruits in the spreadsheet I hope we get Facundo and VanNess the most. Having a back half line-up of 165-Facundo, 174-Starocci, 184-Brooks, 197-Beard, Heavy-Nevills would be lights out. All have multiple AA abilities with Facundo, Brooks, and Beard having multiple NCAA title ability.

It was about me being hurried at lunch and just moving the prospects over 1 column.

Now that I have some time, I'll use the infamous eye test and stick him at 125. I'm also of the opinion that guys that can wrestle at 125 without too much compromise are generally highly motivated to do so - much more so than any other weight class - so I'll use that for a reason as well.

Of course, I'm as likely as Cael or Christian Pyles or Howard himself or Wild Turk to be accurate in that assessment. It's too far away for anyone with 125s.

Is stevo poulin in the mix at all?

I have no idea.

Just so everyone knows (I know many do, but there are always new posters), I'm no insider when it comes to PSU recruiting (and from my conversations with my insider, I'm guessing that the only real insiders are on the staff). Guys on the prospect list are either committed, I've seen something online linking them as a PSU target or they fit the geographical or ranking profile. Occasionally, I might throw in someone outside of the above but that's my prerogative - it's my sheet.;)

Stevo DOES fit the geographical profile, but I'm usually pretty careful adding the little guys until they really wow you or they get bigger or older. Projecting a 106 frosh can be daunting. Alejandro didn't make the list until early this year when he started beating some really good kids who had showed something at weights higher than 106.
 
I read that Cassar and Rasheed both got their medical 6th years. Any word on Conel?

I'm assuming there is some sort of deadline for applying and for the NCAA to decide. But it's the NCAA, so...

Shak announced that he would be back at the banquet - he's not in italics and is listed in bold as a returning starter at 184.

AC has not announced whether he will be back - he's in italics (but in bold as a returning starter).

Conel has announced that he will transfer if he gets the waiver - no announcement yet, he's in italics.

Parker is likely a slam dunk for a waiver (did not wrestle after December his redshirt year, lost the entire year last year to injury) should he decide to pursue it down the road - he's in italics (probably for a while) as I have listed him with SO eligibility.

I guess my question was not really about your spreadsheet, but this seemed like a logical place to ask about Conel updates without starting a new thread.

I enjoy reading the spreadsheet. Thank you for putting it together and updating it. I was especially excited when I saw a kid from Chestnut Ridge on there a year or so ago. I forget if it was McCoy or McGill. But just to see someone from Ridge get mentioned as a possibility is nice to see. Hopefully one day I'll get to see a wrestler from Ridge wear the PSU singlet.

The spread sheet always has a way of picking one up on one of those days where you need some.adrenaline
 
Future looks BRIGHT.
I know. With all the grey shirts it kind of got lost, but if you look at the guys that will be enrolling this year and ranked them in the class of 2019 I think you probably have the #1 guy, four of the top 10 and 5 of the top 15-20.

Meanwhile the Inner Circle is hyperventilating Abe Assad as we speak. Good thing Brands figured out how to recruit.

Thanks! Great spreadsheet, very informative

Thanks again for compiling and maintaining the file!

FYI -- if "K. Schwartz 184" = Kyle Swartz from Northern York, he just committed to Army.
 
Welcome to the crowd...you're normal.

If Tim or Tom, or someone else could BOLD UNDERLINE AND COLOR the text "Click here", it might be more obvious.
When will the tyranny of Rivals’ worst-practice CSS end? Links should always be underlined at a minimum. Guess they want fewer “bounces” off-site, but it’s a bogus strategy, imo. If I was paying to post, I’d demand a discount. ;)
