So it’s basically a gap year - like rich boys who prepped at Eton
Gibson Bros on the move?
- Thread starter PatMineo22
- Start date
I'm all for gap years. Many working class young people these days believe they'll have work until they retire at 70. The gap year is no longer only for the rich.
I am all for gap years as well, but would argue that spending it in a wrestling room is not the best option for many kids long term. If you're travelling the world and training/competing, or holding down a job, that's one thing. You're getting an education just from exposure to other cultures and the responsibility that comes from having to adjust to unfamiliar norms. But, I'd wager that 50%+ of this generation's hold-backs and grey shirts will flame before seeing a D1 match from inside the circle. There are just too many of them now.
isn't that exactly what i said? greyshirt = redshirt minus classes and eligibility
Not sure but someone told me once, the grey shirt was named after Mike Grey. Is this true or made up. Since the Ivy League schools don’t offer red shirts, this was a way around that.
Heard from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, may or may not have seen the Gibson boys today at NLWC. This is getting interesting-
I don’t think that’s all that uncommon. They train at M2, and certainly have been at NLWC practices in the past too.
I don't know about you, but #5 & #6 aren't my type. At all!
If they don't end up at Penn st I would be shocked.
Erik is visiting with Cael this week…
Also, interesting hat choice to coach brother Mason this past weekend at #Wranglemania! Great family, I enjoyed spending time with them.

I don’t believe it. Not for a minute.
Thinking of Gibson or at least that projected weight class.
I hear zero chatter here about P. Manville. What's the scuttlebutt on his recruitment, short list, .... While I am at it, how about Cunningham's boy?

I think they’d take Pierson if he wanted to come, but I don’t believe they’re actively recruiting him super hard at the moment. And neither Asher nor Hayden are scholarship level kids for PSU right now. Though the former is just a sophomore this year.
I wouldn't spend any time or energy thinking about Manville. That family has other priorities in life. Mason choosing PSU for IST + ROTC and training Greco while on campus, with an occasional varsity appearance. Carson attending Penn Tech and not bothering with wrestling there.
Besides, if Pierson does choose to wrestle, he'd likely be in the same weight range as Haines, Facundo, Kasak, and Sealey.
Are they committing or what Pat? Shoot them a text. We need to know. Could the older one make 157? That might help out. Mason might be too big for 125 but that could be another spot we need.
So .. am I correct in thinking that Pat is now working for us as Willie's recruiting asst ?
Willie is drinking his assistant
Confirmed- my donor Friend was on campus and saw the gibsons. He said it looked good for the guys in blue. PS they were getting family pics at the Nittany Lion statue
Can’t wait to read the Ironbird post on HR.
I didnt think Mason had much chance of becoming a PSU starter but I can see him in our lineup far more than Eric.
Probably already stated elsewhere but what weight will Mason wrestle in college?
