This aged like fine milk.
I think he's definitely starting. There's a reason he didn't wrestle his last year of high school. He just beat a game Paddy and looked exactly like what we are used to. Attacked when he needed to and fought hard.
Wow! Haines beats Gallagher 8-3!
0-0 after one. Haines with a quick escape at start of second period. Gallagher VERY close to a TD at end of the second, but nothing awarded. Gallagher quick escape to start 3rd made it 1-1. Gallagher with a TD a minute later to lead 3-2. Haines immediately escapes and shoots, shows AJF deadlifting strength pulling leg in from distance as he stands up, gets the go-ahead TD and then gets a turn for the final 10 secs.

Gallagher looks really, really big but didn't appear to have any tank issues. But I can't see him at 65 long term. Feels like 65/74 for he and Kharchla at some point
Feel free to "think" what you want. May happen, but definitely isn't even remotely on the coach's radar .

"Turns into a physical monster over night" kills me. The kid has some of the heaviest hands I've seen at the HS level, he is the physical monster.
haines is pretty good. best comparison would be nick lee coming out. nothing flashy. could use some polish on his attacks, but has a lot of "want to" and wrestles hard through every position. was surprised at how much he bullied paddy there (though i'm not as high on paddy as others; old for his grade and physically matured early, don't find his skills to be overly dynamic).
i think haines is going to be really good. i can't decide how good, how quickly yet. i think he might need a couple years before he's truly elite, like nick lee, where his skills need to catch up to the intangibles that make him a pain to wrestle. that high crotch aint scoring on a 157 aa this year imo. that was a pace takedown. wasn't pretty, but he earned it in the previous 6:30. but he could probably step in and place next year. i like his trajectory too. clearly getting better and better.

I’m telling ya folks, the roster is shaping up to be the team many will one day consider PSUs best ever.
Young for his grade, too. Was 16 this past summer.
Levi looks to my eye like Carter did at the Edinboro Open 2 years ago......
Hahahahaha! pAdDy BuIlT dIfFeReNt!
Of course, but in my opinion it is pre-ordained (jk). In all seriousness, it's a 100% positive thing that he is up against OSU's recruits and winning.
Meanwhile, Tony wins 5-2 and is in the finals against Kraisser, Iowa St.
Name of the school is Cathedral Preparatory School (aka, "Cathedral Prep") - it is located in Erie.
No shit Sherlock. Was typing quickly.
And you are dangerously close to the ignore feature for me. You’d be my second if that tells you anything.
That comment could only be made by someone unaware of what Levi did to Cerniglia.
And his name is Paniro Johnson. Just to be accurate for your sake.
And he graduated in 2021. He is an Iowa State redshirt.
Enough to make Hartman of Army MFOR the final, too, it seems.
a lot to feel good about.
i actually came back to add starocci to my comparison. more than any move in that match, i was impressed with his poise. he just kept coming forward and never looked nervous or afraid to lose. that was also what was most impressive about starocci last year. his poise and match management were way beyond his years, and frankly his skill. now we're seeing him continue to add to that repertoire and get to legs more consistently.Levi looks to my eye like Carter did at the Edinboro Open 2 years ago......
"No shit Sherlock"..... lmao, given that I wrestled for [and graduated from] the school, I think I'm permitted to point out the correct name of the school.
Exactly - it’s what I included in shortened version in the post the “Bushie” / “BODE” objected to, LOL.
Congrats - you made it!!

That is a big WOW. So he won''t turn 17 until shortly after graduating HS? That is young.
Newsflash. Haines can get out from bottom.
Came away pretty impressed with Hill there tbh. 21-3 in his redshirt year for OU.
*Hill. He was fine, got on the leg twice, which led to two Levi scores.
Haines defended deep shots without attacking his opponents ankles. He did fine with it today, but that’s one thing I bet will change in the Penn State room.
118
Not the whole team but for certain 118 pounder Mike Nock ,HWT -190 ButchSnyder? and 167-177 Dom Deegnereo? Would certainly rehydrate after a Saturday match at Bloomsburg.
