Mark Hall

Makes sense. I was under the impression that Hall wouldn't be shirting and would wrestle from day one. Zain '49, Cenzo '57, Nolf '65, Hall would wrestle off Rasheed at '74 and Bo would go '84 and wrestle-off Cutch

If Rasheed ends up not making the lineup, that's alot of talent wasted.

I'd imagine he would transfer. It's not "wasted" if someone else is just better. When they took him he was far from a known quantity and you didn't know about Hall coming
 
Rasheed 197 in 2 seasons? isn't he taller than McIntosh?
Very possible, he could pack on the pound. But even then it's not guaranteed that he can beat out Cassar at 197, depending on how his shoulder heals up. They also really like Kellan Stout as a possible future 197er
 
Believe or don't believe matters not but silent verbals were given weeks ago.

Some accepted some didnt. But to respect the announcement is why it was quiet.

Plus I'm pretty sure cael etal would laugh at waterboarding as means to pry secrets out of them.

There is a saying by Benjamin Franklin which goes something like this..."Three people can keep a secret if the other two are dead." It was true then, it's true today.

Yes. For example, Nebraska recently getting Beau Breske, and whaddayaknow, Tanning Bed U. just got Elijah Cleary.


Those were two who I guessed ( only a guess ) made the final three. NU for JB and TBU just because they are on a mini-roll. I have liked our chances for months now...not because I have any inside info. Our college team matches up with anyone. There are a bunch of great non-college guys to work with. There is a strong and growing focus on freestyle....with success to back it up. Sanderson has built something which has it all.....for whatever your aspirations may be.

We will know soon enough. Hope he signs with the good guys in Blue & White.
 
Somewhere in these 10 pages is the Live Stream link, would someone be kind, please repost?
Thanks
 
The Moore brothers are both taller than Smack and they wrestled 133 and 141.
lol. good Point.. So I guess we just figured it out. Rasheed should go 141 after Guillibon Graduates, Problem solved

Is this free to general public?
 
Some Q&A (not exact quotes, but I did my best):

Q: What was it that set Penn State for you?
A: Talked about Wisky. So many relationships I made. Going out to Penn State, it felt like a home to me. All the places I'm visiting, I'm going to have to live here for 10-15 years (and maybe longer if I'm coaching at the school) ... I have a lot of friends here in Minnesota, it will be difficult to move away from them ... Penn State felt like home the minute I stepped on campus

Q: Have you thought about your future?
A: Many people want to be 4X Champs, or be part of National Champ teams. I feel that at Penn State Coach Cody and Coach Cunningham will help me to do that. Also talked about becoming a math teacher, and growing to become the best he can.

Q: Is it a weight off your shoulders to make your decision?
A: It was a weight off my shoulders when I went to Penn State and it felt like home. It's been somewhat of a weight to keep the decision a secret.

Q: You're on course to the most successful wrestler in Minnesota high school history. How do you want to be remembered as you move on to Penn State?
A: I want to be thought of as the face of Minnesota wrestling. I still have a job to do this year, and will be working at it with these guys (the Apple Valley team)

Again, these are combos of exact words and summaries of what he said.
 
We are getting an elite wrestler and from all indications a fine & humble young man!

WELCOME TO HAPPY VALLEY MARK!
"WE ARE".......
 
Love this thread...Over 58,000 views so far!! Very fun reading the first page too... ;)

Did he say weather he is going to the OTC next year or coming to Penn State this coming summer ?

Agree that Fix is likely headed to Stilly for the reason listed. Disagree that Fix excludes Lee from Stilly. They'll be at different weights.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Lee comes to PSU, just don't think this is evidence.
 
I read this article and the writer thinks not only is Hall ours to lose but so is Lee. Nolf, Nickal, Nevils, Cortez, Suriano, Manville, with Hall and Lee big leans. How are things in Iowa my hawk friends?

They got Lee, Teasdale, and Murin, so they're going to be great at 125, 133, and 141 in the near future.

We got Nick Lee though, so we'll counter there good with better at 141. We have Suriano, who is the last kid to beat a healthy Lee, and we have Cortez, who hopefully will be healthy.
 
174 title match.

Late in the 1st period.

After the BoJo shot and Hall scramble, right before the stalemate in the mat -

What move was Hall trying to hit when he has his arms locked into BoJo and tried 2 or 3 times to flip over his head ?
(Sorry - thats the best I can describe it )


Looked similar to Ed Ruth with the flip attempts, but it definitely wasn't a cradle.
