Kerk vs Gable. I read somewhere that Kerk has added 10 lbs largely from an Eagle egg diet.
Kerkvliet?
- Thread starter GogglesPaizano
- Start date
False. I have it on good authority that a previous PSU wrestler saved and gave young Kerk some Raptor eggs. Feeding Frenzy starts Saturday.
I wouldn't be shocked to see Kerk win it all.

Well for sure he brings so much excitement and anticipation.
We know a few things for certain. He has oddles of strength, talent, and speed. He is an amazing and accomplished free styler. He has such a rare combination of athleticism on a big, lean, yet powerful frame, there is still room to grow physically
So far he is a bonus machine. He is equally capable of generating TFs with catch and release with a few turns for good measure, and he is also a pinner. In both regards I believe his is already passed where Cassar was. He is elite.
We are so blessed to have him.
What we don't know it's where he is today relative to Gable and Paris, especially given his recent recovery. No matter the result this weekend I am so jazzed to watch him develop under Cael's tutilage over the next several years.
As great as he is already, where he can go from here is down right scary.
Can he beat Paris and Gable this weekend? I suspect those in the know like Cael, his dad and Kerk himself are saying hell yes he can, and he will. I have no expectations other than to be blessed watching him trot out in blue and white.

I just hope he embraces the opportunity and has fun. Results will come.
It may not turn out the way we want it too, as he is going against 2 others of equal caliber, but I feel Kerk is our best wrestler. At very least right up there with AB.
It's hard to imagine being in a discussion where a kid with this pedigree, reshaped body, and obvious reforged focus would find very competitive competition in NCAAs (much less the conference tourney).
. . . Yet, here we are. Let's go Kerkules! Give it your all, and you will already be a legend.

Hmmm. That kid needs to work on his Pecs. ;-/
What if he never beats a PSU heavy?
Goggles with another smh. LOL
No point in stopping him now. He is on a roll....
Those 2 facial expressions are like before and after facing Cassar.
Yikes, that’s not PC if anybody but himself delivers it ...It's hard to imagine being in a discussion where a kid with this pedigree, reshaped body, and obvious reforged focus would find very competitive competition in NCAAs (much less the conference tourney).

It seems Mr. Brooks better step up his posting game a little. This post got 94 likes.
I’m really Robbie Howard’s dad. Can I get more likes?
Captain Kerk has been sparing with Snyder, Cassar, and the brothers Nevills for the last two weeks. He will be ready and roaring to go. I expect he'll be unleashed in the BJC this weekend.
I almost clicked the report button, just for fun.
And if so you need to post saying he is going to beat Spencer..... then you would get likes!
I gave you a "Like" because you left the #eatitturk hashtag in there
You're right about that loss to Anthony Cassar, it was probably the best thing to happen to a young Gable Steveson. He definitely was humbled from that match and seemed to leave the cocky showmanship behind.
The second one...at NCAAs. After Big 10 he was very confident in his interviews.......I remember him talking like it was more of a fluke...let his guard down etc. Losing the second time at the Big dance started to change things. I still think it took a while ( maybe losing to Gwiz twice ) for him to truly commit to big changes. He looks much stronger and quicker than his first two years and his gas tank has also improved noticeably. That said....Parris has improved a good bit as well. Putting Kerk in the same sentence as them is not out of line in my opinion. Cassiopi is better this year too and is a very solid HWT. Gonna be fun to watch. Only 16 hours !!Which loss to Cassar?
I’m really Charlize Theron and my perfect man likes college wrestling, good beer, not talking after a long day of work and hates weekend errands and people who stop at the top of on-ramps instead of smoothly merging .

Looks like Steveson hired Cassar as his personal trainer.
This one from poppa bear pretty much sums it up properly.
I add, two more weeks is something, but give the kid another year, a focus on folk, and 20 more pounds then we will all see!!!

6 weeks unable to workout, cleared 12 days before big 10’s and qualify. Proud of the kid, can’t wait to see what another week in a half looks like.

Damn... don't you hate it when someone in the know drops by? Takes away all the speculation
Love it the Doc & Mr Brooks find time to comment!

He misspelled that hashtag thing you kids do. It's actually #eatitKerkI gave you a "Like" because you left the #eatitturk hashtag in there
Now now........no demeaning young people. For me ( not everyone here ) that is a no no. Me?....I am definitely fair game...so if you say #eatitjerk.......I'll know you are talking about meHe misspelled that hashtag thing you kids do. It's actually #eatitKerk
I'm not sure anybody on here can appreciate what Kerk accomplished at B1Gs given how little time he's been able to spend on the mat. The kid is going to be a superstar. Book it!
