Nevills

As reported elsewhere, he practiced Friday. He eventually got out from under Gingrich who is 270. Ging is going to get him ready to handle the really big guys. If you are reading the football roster, you are simply using out-dated information. He wrestled 195 without cutting....and did a back flip after the match. Franklin loved it. Remember he was a quarterback in high school....granted he didn't throw much. He also didn't lift much. Didn't need to.

He needs to be 230 in March.....not against Lock Haven. Not to worry. If there was somebody else who was a better option, we would be talking about that kid right now. Trust Cael.

Now, now, just pointing out that the projected lineup even without Nevills is looking very competitive. Losing a starter could sometimes mean a death blow for the team race.
 
Any other year, if we were going into the season with a projected line-up of ~7 AA's with 3-4 of them potential finalists/champs --- we as fans are stoked and in the team fav convo.

As it is now, we went from 10 to 9 potential AA's and still have the 3-4 finalists. It sucks Nevills is out, but................... PSU is in good shape.

That is a great spreadsheet....but it won't fully load for me due to technical issues with my work computer. Do you put it together? If so, thanks.

Bet! Yeah, I've built them for the top couple teams the past few years. It's been so fun ever since I garnered an understanding of the three flavors of Team Points. Would love to evolve it into a basic database with built-in formulas that spit out Team Score Breakouts from simple NCAA match results. I suspect that the Niebels are very close to how I'd like to present it, but behind their scenes I can't tell how much of those calcs are manual or auto.

Didn't have time to score out Anspach & Cummins, but Lawson only managed 9pts this year from his 6th place finish.

I didn't go back and actually add up the points. I just shot from the hip because the minimum you can score finishing 6th is 8.5 points. Cummins finished 4th and 2nd and Anspach 2nd so there is no way they can score fewer than 10 points. The minimum (using today's scoring) for 4th is 6 consy wins for 3.0 advancement points plus 9 for placing 4th for a total of 12 points.

I'm a huge advocate of hip-shooting, myself, sir!

This sounded right, so I looked up Eli's last matrix; he's got us at 82 total schollies used during the 2015 season, with only 1 (at this time) available for the 2016 season.
Okay, you cannot use only one left. We're currently at 82. You have to factor in kids leaving early and leaving the program. The guesstimate is 22-23 for next year, but that could increase. For instance if Anthony Johnson leaves, which he probably will, that opens a scholly. It can be very fluid. The main thing is, there is room this year anyway even though he won't count against the 85, unless Cael gives him money.

Haha, of course. I didn't elaborate enough on the parenthetical "(at this time)," but of course you're right: many factors will most definitely be at play to make that current 2016 situation much more fluid by the time the season begins. Thanks for the feedback and the free pint!
 
Well that wasn't very nice ! Don't know how I got lumped with that rep. I guess it's the people like NEPA that made me stop posting, Too bad... a lot of interesting things going on in the room right now. Oh well !

Lmao... Exactly why i left ! Really just a bunch of guys on here that don't know anything about what's really going on with the team... Or about wrestling over all. And if you haven't noticed yet tiger... I do stay away. But I do occasionally stop back to read a little and get a good laugh at the nonsense most of you think are facts or what our guys are doing. Carry on gentleman and keep patting each other on the back to the guys in your "click" and keep shunning the new comers who can bring some substance. Can't wait to hear the replys to this. I need a good laugh this weekend !!!!
 
Well at least they don't waste their time playing the "I know something you don't know" game. Bet dropping your "insight" on us lowly PSU fans felt empowering. Johnny douche, leader of a fan club of 1.

I hope to see Jan Johnson at the Binghamton Open, but I don't know if the coaches will want him to see live action so early.

I hear you JD, I reluctantly shared the info that started this post and instantly got berated by amalone as if I had no idea what I was talking about and was a second rate citizen. That being said, I do believe most posters on this board are good individuals, unfortunately the few ruin it for everyone. Thanks for the info you have posted in the past, I do appreciate it!!!

It was really unfortunate that you were ripped for the original post, Plant. You were clearly passing along a piece of info you had that the rest of us didn't.

Doe is a horse of a different color. He posts info we don't have and are happy to know. And he makes silly predictions that he claims are based on his knowledge of what's happening in the room.

In exchange for his solid inside information, he wants us to make believe that his silly predictions are gospel. And if we don't, he threatens to take his ball and go home.
 
Delusion must be what it takes to be excepted on here. Go back and read my post on predictions. I made fun of myself for looking only thru blue and white glasses. This is like dealing with a bunch of menopausal women ! Geeze !!! Too funny !
 
Last time J Doe posted (awhile ago) he was saying he was misunderstood. You and me should hang out, it's not there fault if they don't know what's good for them.

That's flat-out inaccurate. I can look up what people post, and that's not the last thing that JohnDoe posted. What a surprise that Togs would make an inaccurate claim.

JD, Tognetti, and Jammenz should hang out. The three stooges of BWI.

IMHO, that's an absurd statement. Togs and Jammies are fans of Oklahoma St. and Minnesota, respectively. Whether they bring valuable info to the board, or mostly provide comic relief to the board, is for you and others to decide. JohnDoe is a PSU fan, and has brought a lot of good info about PSU wrestling to the board. Whether you like his style or not is, IMHO, not all that relevant, but I don't see how anyone could lump Togs, Jammenz, and JohnDoe together, or could consider JohnDoe a stooge.

It's unfortunate that you seem to let a few posters get under your skin. I suspect that 99% of the PSU fans on this board appreciate everything you bring to the board, and appreciate whatever info you post about PSU wrestlers, and the PSU wrestling program.

Those responses to you from amalone were unfortunate, for sure. My guess is that in his opinion, you had not established yourself as a reputable poster (you haven't posted much in this forum) and then out of nowhere you post that the presumed starting heavyweight is injured, when there was no independent confirmation of that info at the time. I take a wait and see approach with most new or very infrequent posters, as their info may or may not be accurate, but it rarely takes too long to determine which. Your info was confirmed over the next few days, so you ended up looking like a valuable contributor. Hopefully, you won't hesitate to share info with us in the future.

Can we get back to talking about a heavyweight?

Hopefully so. I felt it necessary to address several things that were posted in this thread in the past 24 hours that were taking the discussion off track. It's possible that this post will keep the focus on issues other than a heavyweight for a bit, but IMO the issues needed to to addressed.

Tom...You forgot this one by JD:

I bet all the name callers and haters wish I was still on here to tell you all what's up with Nick and how long he will be out and when he might be expected to come back. And who will take over until then and other shifts in the line up that are taking place. But as they said... Its all about my ego and not about me just caring to share information with the 95% of the best fans in the nation. It will all be out soon enough. We are still gonna be number 1. Bet on it !!!


I respectfully disagree with you Tom. As an outsider, I watched the whole JD saga unfold. A few guys got after Doe and he said he's taking his toys and going home. After Nevills's injury, he comes back on to basically rub his insider status in the board's face...basically doing a "na-na-na booboo" at the lack of info over an injury. Now, I value inside info as much as the next fan but but JD has put himself in this position because of multiple posts demanding folks kiss his backside.

Thanks Fish, I understand your take too.
