Kosak replied to someone on X about it. Seemed genuine to me..
Pyles dancing around like he did trying to do damage control was weak sauce.. Just own it and move on.

Hey, weaksauce is my word of the day too.

Glad to see Kosak did the apology--I can't see a world where he intentionally leaked that info. He seems like a good guy, for sure. I doubt the Blaze family is all that worked up about it. It would have been a much bigger deal to the Bassett clan, methinks.

Ultimately I think Pyles is probably an OK dude too--but he's definitely not a great public spokesman for this kind of thing.

No, the more damage control he does the worse it looks..

 

[BrockBronson]

Maybe this was why blazes mom looked so p!ssed in the pic. Ruin his moment.

Never a good look for a company to lecture its paying customers or potential customers

Let's be careful with the predictions. If I recall correctly, another Big 10 school landed a top ranked recruit who was predestined to become GOAT but somehow fell a bit short of his goals. Of course if he had selected Penn State, the outcome very likely could have been much different.

Yes -- Bo Jordan thought PSU practices weren't tough enough.

IIRC Iowa also had some guy who fit the description.

If you aren't wearing a shoulder brace by your junior year, you aren't training hard enough.

Tom and Terry still going at it:

Looks like Marcus is doing some AP work today:

Now I had to dig this one out, and it delivered.

What stood out to me, other than the 3rd period butt kicking, was not seeing reactions from Marinelli’s wife after every stoppage.

Marcus into the semis fairly easily, don’t recognize any of the other names in the bracket. Dude’s a badA

The kid he has in the semis is in HS. Ryan Kennedy, Spire Academy in Ohio. Decent kid, has a win over Mutarelli although Mutarelli was up like 6-0 before wilting when Kennedy didn't roll over for him. Blaze should handle him with ease.

The fact that his foe is Kennedy in the semis tells you all you need to know about this tournament. I'm guessing this is mostly D3 and Juco kids. Doubtful Blaze will go 7 minutes in any match.

No nonsense, strictly business. Sees himself settling down in State College after school.

He’s pretty good

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure he wrestled other HS kids in the quarters, semis and finals of that tournament.

LOL I can't believe Pyles still has a job!
