- Start date
Good catch. I saw that yesterday as well on Twitter. Don’t know anything about him. Hopefully someone can chime in and give some background.
Welcome Terrell!
I am confused by the team results discussed at the end of this article.
Layton (Barraclough's school) had 9 total finalists with 6 champions - out of 10 weights. Yet somehow they only got second. To a team that had 1 finalist and 0 champions.
Anyone have any insights here?
If only we had connections to Utah, or a former Utah wrestler having success at PSU, we'd be all set.
Not much out there on him. InterMat still has Terrell as an Army commit, and I found a December 2017 tweet from Nomad that suggested he was impressed by him at Fargo (though I didn't go back to look at those results)...and other than what's been posted here, not much.
Still, the Utah kids that PSU has recruited have overall been solid...and good fits to the program. Best wishes to Terrell.

Upon further investigation, schools could also enter more than one wrestler at a weight. Pleasant Grove took full advantage of that, getting 2 in the top 6 at 4 different weights.
Pretty impressive showing by both schools.
Bethlehem Catholic would have to double its recruiting budget.
When I coached in AK we had multiple entries worked great.
one scored per weight at the 1st qualifying tournament everybody scored at the state meet. When team mates met in the tournament, full bonus was always awarded to.the winner (pin points) so nobody would throw a match
In Idaho and Utah you can qualify 2 kids at each weight for the districts (Regionals) and state tournaments. As I understand the concept is was to allow kids to compete at a more natural weight instead of moving up or particularly down to get on the mat. Idaho still has a 98 lb class and one year twin brothers were competing for the championship. In some ways it is good but it has made the state tournaments all about the number of qualifiers. Especially when you have 4 divisions and a state population of less than 2 million. If you are going to be competitive in Idaho and Utah you better have a deep JV lineup.
And we would have dozens of committed 5th graders.
That's message is Vodka bait.
Cael,Cody, and Boalsburg Allen are all from Utah, cmon man everyone knows THAT.
You forgot sarcasm face
I prefer baiting the hook, and following up with Jim Gibbons afterwards.
Two can qualify per weight in Washington also. I'm pretty sure that's the case in Oregon so must be a NW thing.
