Wrestling Mitchell Mesenbrink Commits To Penn State

I’m really excited about this one. Definite roster issues on the horizon but man oh man did we get a good one. I think he is a high AA from the jump. Absolutely love how he wrestles and competes. A motor like SVN but better leg attacks. The team being built is possibly one of the best ever
This describes a very few guys. Hopefully Mesenbrink lives up to that.
 
GIve up on Nagao?
My opinion..I believe Nagao already visited. Normally once a kid visits PSU they are all in. Since he hasn’t committed I think he’s looking for NIL money to make his decision and from everything I hear, PSU doesn’t even bring this up with these kids. So if he’s concerned with “the bag” good luck at Iowa or somewhere else where it’s rumored they are offering bags of cash. That’s not Cael and I’m happy he’s not into that.

My opinion on NIL..get here do your thing on the mat and then I’m sure their are opportunities (RBY, Bartlett). I’m 100% fine with that. But to pay someone to come here? Forget about it..I don’t want any part of that

Spoke of growing up watching DT and Ruth. Those two still paying dividends.
I bet the goofs uttering the words, "once Taylor and Ruth graduate" never imagined a decade later Taylor and Ruth would still be delivering championships to PSU.
A thought along the same lines, not getting a 4th title from a beaten and battered Spencer is going to cost Iowa some serious future championship points.
 
It's got to burn HR's ass to hear kids are recruiting Penn State, not the other way around.

The spinmeisters have their work cut out for them.
It's been going on for a long time and hasn't burned their ass yet.

@bniccols has already declared the playing field is now level. How does he explain the last 2 days? Besides AN and Cannon I would say we the inn is full. They may get our left overs or the ones that clearly don't pass our non wrestling standards.

He cracks me up. Fields level but PSU got a head start. His words..
What I was thinking is that since he publicly states his belief is Penn State and Cael cheat and he guarantees the playing field is now level, the logical conclusion is slum lord Bob is heading up Iowa's attempt to cheat.

Unfortunately for Iowa, there’s not very many weight classes that benefit from drilling with a 125 lber. (On top of that, all reports are that his health status doesn’t allow him to even help those near his weight).

I was struck by his comments about his total trust inCael and the coaches to do whatever is best for him. One of the main reasons he's coming. What a nice young man.
He is a smart young man. Given Cael's success as a wrestler and coach; 10 team titles a bunch of national champions and half the US Senior National Team is trained by Cael...to not put your trust in Cael means you are stupid.

No idea what will happen with Nagao. But based on info in the first post of third thread, your fundamental premise appears flawed.
