Mark Hall

Thanks Tom and El-Jefe that makes sense then if that is NLI day...I did not realize that was also on that day
 
Wait, what??????

You slipped that in there and most people here are snoozing. That would be awesome. Hope you are right.

SMH..."Bet the house...Hall to PSU!"is what he just reiterated.

Hall is visiting Sparky this weekend.

This is very interesting. I totally get the concept of 'bring the best in, THEN sort out the lineup', so how would Zeke sort this out?

Will someone please explain to me how the "connected Ohio St" guys knows more about Hall's decision than anyone else does?

From another poster there: "This will come down to Ohio State and Penn State — the nation's top two recruiting staffs.. Ryan vs. Sanderson. High Street vs. Happy Valley. Ohio RTC vs. Nittany Lion WC." Hawkeye Report just self-immolated. And Tognetti technically isn't on staff at Okie State.

Pierce is a RS SO. If Hall grayshirts, then redshirts, he slides in right after Pierce graduates. Or one of Pierce/Shields gets bumped for a year. Or the Valencias move up, bumping Benick (who may be at ASU instead of Minny because he lost to Steveson).

If Zeke has committed as much money as everyone thinks he has, he may have to have some carefrontations down the road, and not just because of Hall.

S Quatsch ... hilarious!
 
In regards to the Oh St guy, I don't see it so much as he knows with certainty where he is going, but rather it seems like Oh St is now on the outside looking in for whatever reason. Unless Zeke pulls a Pitino this weekend, PSU seems like a distinct possibility.

The OSU guy has only narrowed the field and feels that if Hall leaves the state it's to PSU.

Pressure to stay home is mounting.
 
2 months ago I was 226. A diet of breakfast shakes, no fried foods and more vegetables than I care to think about has my weight down to 199-202. Would like to see 184 again, but that may take more discipline than I care for.

I hear ya Dunk. After my wrestling career ended I shot up from mid 150s to Heavyweight pretty quick. Got back down to 184 (natural weight) but it takes effort. You can do it!
 
I will agree with Kid.......I caught till age 30 at 185 and by 55 I was 230 and some thought I carried it well. I didn't think so.....and I became more aware of what I was eating and just as aware of how much. Today Igo to bed at 187-90 and will weigh about 185 before dinner. Just can't bend down to catch nor throw for crap!! :(

Then I picked up golf and now "I digress" even more.

Bottom line if you got to 199-203 you can do it.
 
Eat away. Nevills needs more workout partners.

Seriously, I'd bet you could reach and sustain 190 (and then, after that, maybe reassess 184). I've never been above 10 lb or 1 in waist bigger than college. I'm far from a food nazi, have 30 sweet teeth and am Italian By Marriage (BTW, every Italian food stereotype is true).

Can't say I watch what I eat real carefully, just try to not graze or gorge. I don't drink liquid sugar (including very rarely fruit juice), never eat wings, eat only a little fried food, and drink maybe a beer a week (am a far cheaper date than when at PSU). I do have good metabolism, but can't sustain exercise plans thanks to some injuries.

I'd like to be in better shape -- actually, a lot better shape -- but have avoided a double chin and Dunlaps Disease. A lot of days that's plenty good enough.

From THIS ARTICLE from The Arizona Republic:

"Second-year ASU coach Zeke Jones expects most of the freshmen in his No. 1-ranked recruiting class to redshirt with the exception of Tanner Hall, who wrestled at the Olympic Training Center out of high school before going on a Mormon mission.

"He's 23 and chomping at the bit to compete," Jones said.

Anthony and Zahid Valencia, Lance Benick, Josh Maruca and Josh Shields will redshirt then begin their ASU careers in 2016-17. Anthony Valencia is qualified for an Olympic redshirt (different from NCAA redshirt) because of his top-eight finish at the USA Wrestling World Trials."

Shields and Maruca may take a bit of time but pretty crazy that the other 4 could be title contenders from day one. Benick may struggle a bit but not much. Squatch could make noise this year
 
I don't know, but after seeing the talent in the stands at the ASU football game the other night I don't know how any 18 year old can turn that place down.
 
Flo message board has a great post from an embittered Buckeye fan re: Hall to PSU rumors he's hearing.

I hope the increased chatter of Hall to Happy Valley is correct.
 
There is another one just a bit down from that stating Hall has told Ryan he is heading to Penn State. Also, the tOSU board is already talking about alternatives for recruiting. Wow, lots of smoke at this point; things looking really good.

I just can't allow myself to believe it at this point, but boy what a coup if it happens
 
So Hall is telling a college coach where he is going? Wouldn't that take some of the interest out of his overly-hyped FLO announcement?
