Lee and Teasdale

This is ridiculous. Gotta put your hatred of Iowa aside for a couple weeks this summer.
Kyle Dake may be a real a-hole, but if he had beaten Cox, he'd be Team USA a-hole -- with grace period expiring the moment he departs Rio.
Yes, Chance, say you what you want about him, but he certainly had the credentials coming out of HS
Come on guys its ok to have the rivalery but these are kids growing into men. Sure I like to see a Penn State wrestler lose but no way do I hate him geeesh
Exactly. Once the trials are over, whoever steps on the mat in Rio wearing a USA uniform is the person who I'll be rooting for. You can bet that the Russians and Iranians have the same thoughts about their guys.
would be absurd to pin anything on those two - comment in jest, c'mon. And I'm not digging on any of our guys. Simply stating a fact and not trying to start or win any arguments. In fact, young Mr Lee hasn't even graduated HS yet.. Really enjoyed watching Spencer and was looking forward to continuing that in the blue/white uni....Let's not put this on Nico or Jason.
As far as "the top 2 PA studs in the past few years" goes, I'll take my chances with this guy.
One of the crazy parts of all of this is that we just got two huge studs and this DOESNT put us in the driver seat. Happy as heck about this, but we still have some catching up to do. Amazing the talent that comes out of PA. I need to make it out there for a HS state tournament. It has to be pretty special.
I'm not sure if I'd root for Dake. Being American doesn't give him a pass for being a total jerk. Id pull for anyone else.... Ramos, Metcalf etc I hope Dennis pins every one of his opponents .... I remember being out at a bar in Manyunk watching on tv pulling like hell for Tom Brands to win gold. But I've seen enough of Dake to realize he's not someone i would want my son to emulate. So why root for him... just because he's American? Again, Not saying I definetly would not root for him. But it is certainly not a given ....
Totally agree,Kyle Dake is the exception to the rule,don't care if KD is American
If you go this year, you'll get to see both Lee and Teasdale. Barring injury, both will finish as 4x state champs, and PIAA will hold a brief ceremony honoring each as they claim their 4th.
Just be sure you buy tickets to the entire event, because they're in different classes (Lee AAA, Teasdale AA), and also because PIAA has these wacky non-seeded random pre-drawn brackets where the best matchups sometimes happen on Day 1 -- see Pletcher vs. Sasso in this year's quarters.
Exactly.
If in the olympics he acted the way he did against cox, why should I pull for him?
Id rather say to my 6 year old that he should act like the Iranian (or whom ever ) that showed respect to his opponent
None of the names mentioned are in the same class as Spencer Lee. My thoughts are to set focus on recruiting other weight classes, that ship has sailed.
My guess is that Lee won't win one match against Penn State. In fact I think he was scared he couldn't beat out suriano. U can't run in college. Truth is ... Cael didn't really care if he came here ... And Teasdale wasn't even a thought. High school great doesn't mean college anything. Spencer isn't the only man who made a mistake if following the p....y. Hate me if u want... But I am right ! Dumb decision spencer
This is exactly what I was thinking, not in a snarky way as an Iowa fan, more as a compliment to PSU. Iowa NEEDED these commitments to qualify for the race. Penn State is still the favorite, but Iowa can now at least pose a threat.
Again, not good that we lost Lee to the Hawks, but GOOD that he isn't in Scarlett and Gray. Now, if we lose another kid to Iowa at another weight class(this does not mean Teasdale as he is in the same class as Lee, or very close to it), then we will need to regroup.
I think everyone saw the writing on the wall, so up front an apology to anyone who I didn't treat right after they called it. Sorry fellas.
Big loss though, this one hurts, bad.

Ah now I am super bummed he is coming to Iowa. I thought he was really good but I guess the two time world champion is afraid of competition. Pack it up boys, apparently Lee wasn't ever any good
Yes, this puts Iowa back into the top 3 in my opinion....not this coming year, but as of year one for Lee. Right away, Lee is a serious contender for 4 time champion. He is special.
This mother stings way more than Marstellar did, way more.
Lee is a good high school wrestler. But he never beat good college guys. Remember Marsteller beating college guys as a 8th grader. Lee... Not so much. Good for Iowa... Not so good for Lee. He is about to learn a big lesson... Welcome to the big leagues. And Teasdale .... Who cares ?
not m4e. i know it's sour grapes but i don't care.i hope neither one of them ever wins a collegiate match.
Wow John Doe is back and ready for action!
Hehe...Oh man those grapes are sour. On the one hand, Spencer is scared and we didn't want him anyways. On the other hand Spencer, it was a dumb decision.
I wouldn't want Teasdale either...who wants a Sophomore that TF'd the field at states and is a two time cadet team member? I wouldn't think of it either if I were Cael.
Not to mention, how dare he not beat top college guys when he weighed 113 pounds!
JD -- As an insider, you may want to revisit your source inside the PSU room regarding Lee's ability to beat good college guys.
Anybody downplaying the skills of these two is delusional. Congrats to Iowa and good luck to Spencer and Gavin.
Fix is a lock at OSU, Gfeller still being worked on but leaning our way. Jacobe Smith 165/174 coming to OSU (2 time NJCAA Champion at 174). High recruit that will AA right away if he can get in the lineup. Chance Marsteller heading to Lock Haven

Just love a little JohnDoe (big baby) in the early morning to make my day. Is this the time he takes his toys and run home and tells mommy that Spencer won't play with him?

Are you guys going to get that mystery heavy you need for next year?
To clarify. Not rooting for anyone who is AT Iowa representing the U of Iowa. I always root for all USA wrestlers competing against the rest of the world. Will be rooting for Dennis like crazy this summer and hope he brings back the Gold.
Wow! How can you make a statement like that. PSU would have loved to receive commitments from these 2. Spencer Lee could wrestle125 in college now and be an AA. This hurts PSU from completely doninating everyone, but it is good for the sport and will make the team races very interesting in the next few years.
I know Teasdale is only finishing his sophomore year, but it will be interesting to see which guy goes 133 since Gavin wrestled 113 and Spencer is lucky to walk around at 125. There is no doubt Spencer dominates 125. If neither grows anymore, 133 could be challenging for both. But that would be the least of my worries at this point.
Funny how everyone wants a recruit until they commit somewhere else
