I thought PA was supposed to be good at wrestling
- Thread starter jammenz
- Start date
I guess as PSU wrestling fans we'll just have to settle on getting the top #2,3,4 & 5 recruits every class and losing out on #1!
He’s lost his fastball
as we have stated before … Jammenz now is akin to Willie Mays on the Mets
or Steve Carlton on the Indians
just sad!

Give me a wheel anytime. You would lose a lot of money with that hand (2,3,4,5,7) in the high/low games I play in. OF course, we have a spitter in the middle or two and everyone gets to play that card if they want.
Without the injury I would've chosen Lee, but either way Fix was a more than reasonable choice.
Fix beat Lee at Cadet world trials 2 matches to 0, and won 3 world medals before enrolling.
Plus Fix didn't have the injury risk -- remember that Lee missed 1/3 of his SR year and was planning to have knee surgery.
Agreed on the injury uncertainty.
In hindsight,head to head loss was a headscratcher even though Spencer was wrestling up.
Fix went to worlds that year and didnt medal.
Spencer bumped to JUNIORS, won WTT at his NATURAL weight, then went unscored upon at Worlds.
You cant use pre recruitment international accolades, it will never favor Fix.
If I remember correctly Gardner's college career was a tragedy due to and finally succumbing to drugs. Prior to that he was undefeated and #1 in the country his junior & senior years in HS. Really a sad story.
Counter to a provocative posts --
Pennsylvania, for 8 years of the last 10 (there are 2 years I did not compile), has had 428 total NCAA qualifiers, or 16% of the field. In those eight years, PA wrestlers took home 95, or 15% of the All-American honors.
There are other good wrestling states, Pennsylvania is certainly in the discussion for best state, for anyone that cares about such things.

Are you saying Jammenz is doing the best he can with the hand he was dealt?
Wrong hand. I see Jammies holding aces and eights!
"shut up" is a great meme/inside joke on this board. I popped as I scrolled down the thread.
