Sounds like maybe he'll do the NLWC Senior Year?
Levi not competing for Biglerville this year
- Thread starter El-Jefe
- Start date
Not at liberty to say much more but essentially yeah. Can assure you nothing negative.
Canner grapplers will have experience, but not returning champ as they enter season
For the first time in several years, the Biglerville wrestling team has a wealth of experience on its roster.
Cut me a break, another "I'm in the know, you're not" *Yawn
He meets the criteria to train at an RTC.
Will he be living in State College and finishing up HS there? That would certainly beat the commute from home to M2 and back a couple days a week.
I wonder what the plan is for him. 157/165 or let him GS/RS and then hope CS and AB move up?

I like the use of greenhorn in this context.
Now I’m thirsty for a Sarsaparilla after trailing cattle on the Chisholm Trail
This trend won’t shock me for the elite kids. Clearly you get a lot better working out and wrestling kids a lot better than you. If your goal is to win a NCAA tournament or Olympics, Hershey doesn’t mean as much, especially if your team isn’t in contention. The other thing I’m seeing trend now is kids are taking college classes as early as 10th grade at CCs. The idea that my 7 year old will go to 4 years of traditional college where we move him in Sept after his senior year of high school and May of his Senior year of college is very unlikely. He’ll either be in different parts of the world studying or out of his brick and mortar school in less than 4 years.
Ha, I started college in the Fall with 6 credits, 3 from an AP course and 3 from a course I took at a branch campus my HS senior year, and I still was there for 5 more years. Of course changing from Engineering to Business changes a whole lot of prerequisite courses. Also, I could have been done in 4.5 years but decided to cruise a bit my last year and go the full 5!
Of course college was a whole lot cheaper back then.
Greenhorn? LOL, good one! Actually been around a long time, since Plotit days. I guess as I get older and cranky I got tired of Tom's "I can't discuss what I know" BS. So now we have a different administrator and the same message. Oh well, if banned for an opinion maybe the new mod is too sensitive like Tom was at times. If we get banned for a dissenting opinion I guess I'll know what communism is like. Trust me, I'll still sleep good at night if I am and will still be a die hard PSU sports fan...."greenhorn" lol
If you've been banned previously, i think it might have been for taking personal shots at other posters, not just for having a dissenting opinion. Just a guess.
Professional journalist says he can't repeat everything he's been told, and you have a problem with that?
Levi Haines is in high school. Whatever Clay can't repeat, will come out before Levi wears the blue/white singlet.
Nobody should be getting banned here for dissenting opinions. This isn't HR (at least I hope that's not the direction this board is going).
Never been banned before, although maybe 25 years ago Phil put me in "timeout" for questioning one of his opinions. I did my time however! lol
Going to hopefully cut this one off at its roots. The Gettysburg Times (where I am also employed) wanted to do a story on Levi opting out and he said he’d prefer not to make it about him, nothing more or less. I’d hope we have the decency here to respect the kid’s privacy.
PIAA is not looking great right now. This used to be the Mecca and now people are choosing not to even wrestle. Best of luck to Levi and I can’t wait to watch him at Rec Hall.
Gibson and Crookham are opting out too
Gibson and Crookham are opting out too
This is different from the Lee brothers exactly how? Because it's PA?
Or from Mullen and Casale both skipping NJ states last year?
Or Snyder spending his SR year in Colorado Springs?
Or for that matter: when PA state finalist Seth Janney transferred after his SO year to Malvern Prep and therefore out of PIAA?
Who got banned for dissenting opinions? That is PSU210 whining. Personally I get tired of posters that "complain about Professional journalist that says he can't repeat everything he's been told" and seem to think they entitled to know everything about a high school (or even college for that matter) kid. Just ranting.
Serious question:
With Kevin Jackson no longer in COS, and the NLWC (+ M2) having Olympic medalists and/or national team members at most weights, is there any reason for a kid who has signed with PSU to go to the OTC , a la Aaron Brooks?
***Assuming that the Resident Athlete program starts up again in the future.***

I respect that Clay. I apologize if I came off as rude.
I agree NoVa; however, I was unaware he was a professional journalist. I completely understand his decision in that capacity.Who got banned for dissenting opinions? That is PSU210 whining.

Gibson is not opting out lol. He doesn't have a choice.
Not sort of. Eric and is a great kid. He has done several interviews were he discussed how important it was to him to win a State Title. If McCort was eligible, he would 100% be wrestling this season.
Not arguing with any of that. I was just separating the post season ban from choosing not to wrestle the entire season.
I have to go clean out my lacrosse helmet after forgetting him in that list.Oh boy, Mike Evans is really not impressed!!
Ed Ruth transferred out of PIAA too, albeit without the (toilet) paper trail.
Just a few posts in one thread, Roar. I’m not sure that displays of decency on the boards is something we’ll suddenly see a lot of in the furure. 😉
In other news, I like this kid already.
At University Park, and it's living with relatives in Centre County. Not necessarily parents.
I knew 2 sisters from Virginia Beach who attended PSU together. The younger sister never lived in the dorms -- she shared an apartment with her older sister.
Gotcha.
the point being… with only 9.9 scholarships, if your family can relocate and save you $12k on room & board… all the while you wrestle for the NLWC…
I have no idea whatsoever if that’s the case here. Just something I thought of when I read this thread.
And then hopefully (for him) a national finalist doesn’t transfer in.
