Holy crap - just saw a bombshell on Mineo’s feed
- Thread starter Chickenman Testa
- Start date
Why do i talk to Mineo - to ask 'what are you hearing'?
did he once dox me? - yes
did he once dox me? - yes
Yes medical redshirt would be for this year (2021-2022). Then pretty sure could regular redshirt next year (2022-2023) and then Olympic redshirt the year after (2023-2024).
I know I hope this means I won't ever have to hear that Corby guys voice again. I think Kem is done, but they will have him wrestle a couple of times before he comes out to take a beatdown from CStar in the dual. You guys hate minnow, but he is the best source of big news in wrestling we can get. He floats stories true and false and people respond mad that he broke it or mad that it was wrong. Either way we end up knowing far more than we would have without him.
Good idea- Have a stud cut down to the point of starvation to replace a different stud we had cut down to the point of starvation. Rinse and repeat. I can't wait to watch Carr wreck that kid.
2022 is freaking on fire so far for wrestling social circles. Very interesting.
That pat hasn't deleted or responded to kemdawgs push back yet is really interesting.
I'm sure pat went to his source last night and said wtf and the source told him to chill. Otherwise he would have deleted like he has done before.
The corby and willie thing bugs me and wish they would handle it more like John Dutton than Perez Hilton.

I agree. BUT Spencer first has to get a medical redshirt for this year.
I hope the NCAA grants it. Then this year basically wouldn't count towards his eligibility, and since he still has a redshirt he could use it in 2022-23 to further his recovery.
But by his own admission (if you read his release), he injured it last year at a point in the season where medical redshirt eligability might not apply. After all, he competed in and won the championship. He said only his recovery from that injury hadn't progressed as he had planned. It seems one could question whether competing at Journeyman was necessary to reach that conclusion.
I hope Spencer's admission doesn't come back to bite him, if he intends to go for a fourth NCAA championship. He could've instead said he further injured it in practice.
I wonder whether Pat Mineo's Tweet might've rushed Spencer's release. @smalls103 originally wrote in HR that Iowa's release of a statement wouldn't happen until today.
Given how things transpired, it would make some sense to me from a tactical standpoint for Spencer to wrestle Journeyman and burn the redshirt this year, if he planned to focus on recovery via a medical redshirt and freestyle, and not return to wrestle for Iowa until the 2024-25, at the earliest.
If Spencer plans to train at Iowa HWC, I think getting a medical redshirt this year could work well for Spencer. I wish him the best of luck in pursuit of his dreams. I really don't care if Iowa is "gaming" the NCAA system.
Yeah I don’t know the specifics of medical redshirts but I’d have a hard time believing he wouldn’t have one granted.
Basically sitting out for 3 years seems kinda crazy but it would shut people up about making sure he’s properly preparing for the 2024 Olympics.
So Mineo shares information with you but he gets nothing from you in return? Makes sense.
Is he west2east on this board?
I'm really sorry this is all happening. It's just sad. I dont know either of you personally but like you both and enjoy the stuff you guys put out for wrestling fans.
Mineo is just a guy on social media who has some connections. What can be done to him? He is not affiliated with any news organization. Regarding Kemerer, Mineo could still end up being right. Kemerer has yet to wrestle this season. Not that I am trying to justify the irresponsible post about Kemerer being done.
West2east is my guess too.
It's odd how board reacts to rumors posted on this board. I've met Willie 2 or 3 times in my life, down at Liberty gym and once at Deitzi's tavern. He wouldn't know me but I know him through some mutual friends. A few years ago I was talking to one of the "mutuals" and he gave me some information about Suriano's situation on transferring to Rutgers. I did not ask him how he knew some of the details. I vaguely posted some of the details on this board and the higher ups thought it was best to delete what was rumored. I personally know a couple of people in positions that know some "inside" info on the high school and Blair Academy scene. I normally choose not to post unless it's to confirm or correct an existing post. An example was when numerous people thought PSU had inside on Crookham and I was told Lehigh had the edge which I posted.
The rumors make for good banter on social media.

Kem was never planning on coming back until the New Year if at all. I've thought it for months now and still think it. In this Kem deal, I think Mineo may end up being both right AND wrong.
I think if people share information they should just always make it clear it is their opinion and not pass it off as fact. As for Crookham, to me it was a perfect lesson to never ever fully believe sources and if you do share info, pass it off as opinion (which is what I did) and not fact. I too thought PSU was gonna be his choice because Ryan's own "blood" told me to expect him to go to PSU. Lol.
And with Kemerer. I have been told some things since summer and have shared some other things since then. One being he wasnt fully committed on coming back and then later not to expect him to return until the New Year if at all. I never passed any of it as fact....ALWAYS as my opinion.
Would be funny if flo hired him and he debuted on FRL to counter willie.
I liked the Willie and Corby dynamic when they talked about stuff.
As much as I'd love to watch that train wreck I still wont go back to FLO.
They are dead to me...
What -- did Young forget to bring egg nog to the family Christmas dinner?
They were very very good together. To me this is a sad day. If I had any complaints with what they were doing at Matscouts it was the idea that it always seemed I had to just try to guess when their next show was gonna be instead of being told when it would be. Lol
Willie and PattyCake have been buddies for years.. Even when Flo shows had their chat feed littered with the "say his name" comments.
I hope its just a high school chick fight. they might end up braiding each others hair by the weekend.
As far as Flo train wrecks go, I think I'd rather see Downey sell merch on the online Flo Store.
Lmao. A 2022 post of the year candidate already.
There are already a few signs that some of the super-super seniors aren’t feeling the extra year. I’ll be interested to see Micic when he takes the mat. This is not the sport to not be totally invested.
We should have a post of the year thread that survives. Obviously needs a 1st and 2nd to make the thread.... ....and....year end award at the boards annual Christmas party and q1 spending meeting.
This is actually a good idea. Lol. Once nominated it goes to post of year thread. The one with most likes at end of year wins.
We could call the thread “Collection of PSU parent posts.”
John Brooks Slush Fund Thread.
Damn, I disappear from the internet for a day and all hell breaks loose. Sorry everyone, I'll try to tighten up on my end.
