Which non-PSU wrestler from the last decade do you most wish went to Penn State?
Non-PSU Wrestler I Most Wish Went to Penn State (last decade only)
- Thread starter mcpat
- Start date
Edinboro guys. Schopp & Port
For future recruiting purposes. Bobby Telford
Would have to think if Spencer went to PSU then Iowa doesn’t win any titles during Cael era and Basset probably follows his idol to PSU too.
Sammy Sasso, then he would likely be safe and sound, and an NCAA champion.
Provided the context is “if PSU didn’t have the guys it had at the time” . . .
IMar all day
Honorable mention to Zeke Moisey
And going back 2 decades — Chris Fleeger and Jake Herbert

He was in there as an option, but I had to eliminate one to create “other”.
Ah, that's a better way to look at it. Yes, if Penn State didn't have Nolf or Cenzo, I concur with your pick of IMar.
Knowing what we know now that’s a tough one. We take the 21 title, but have to give back the Ramos semi and aftermath. Let them have one
Mikey Racciato for numerous reasons. On the mat he was very similar to Nolf in High School. He almost pinned a kid using a leg scissors move in States . He visited Penn State, chose Pitt. Who knows where this story would of ended. 🙏

Just imagine GIA if Matt Ramos were at PSU when he pinned Lee.
But the correct answer is Snyder.

Keegan O’Toole. I think his style in the PSU room would’ve been fun. I’m quite happy with who we have instead though
Jake started college wrestling around the time Cael was finishing. Hypothetically had Cael coached Jake, do you see a way Cael could have coached up Jake to beat Ben Askren in the NCAA finals? Ben was the top dog back then!
I was torn between Kem and Carr as both are such class acts. I voted for Kem only because he’s a PA guy and I like the story line of Carr being at ISU like his dad. Wrestling accolades didn’t factor in for me because, honestly, PSU didn’t need either one
Oh, but of course! 😉
Askren would be a good pick, too. My criteria were:
(1) Excellent wrestler
(2) I was a fan of their work at the time
(3) I can remember them off the top of my head on a Friday night after a long week of work rotting my brain in front of a computer screen.
Askren fell a little short on #3, lol.
I'd go with Ben Askren. I liked his creative wrestling style and it'd probably be a lot fun playing disc golf with him.
But, the main reason I selected him was because he's done a great job developing kids. It'd be pretty sweet if PSU had always been the primary hub for his pipeline of kids. That could have added a lot of talent to the line-up.

The moment someone planted both feet out of bounds and picked Askren ...
Clock is now ticking, just a matter of time until multliple people pick Schalles.

Bill Koll's ghost says, "Goddamn right, Schalles. Only time I ever ask for an academic exemption."
Chris Fleeger used to whoop my ass back in the day.
I’ll stretch the time boundary just a little. Agnostic to who we had at the weight range … Chance.
I’m surprised no one has said Dean Heil or Will Lewan yet.
Hard to say, but Spencer or Snyder slotted in perfectly for areas of weakness but all the others named are great wrestlers as well. I would have also enjoyed seeing Darian Cruz in the blue and white

No one said Dylan Ness, I think he's still in the last decade. I think Cael could've gotten a championship out of him, and he was as entertaining as anyone.
I’m sure you do wish he had wrestled for PSU!
Nope. Glad he left.
Kinda left a hole in our lineup and it certainly would have make things interesting for Lee at 125
Yea, but too much of a nut job. And it kinda all worked out for PSU anyways
He also won his first title at 133, so keeping him wouldn't have solved that problem.
Glory would've been better, though he allegedly wanted nothing to do with PSU. So maybe Vito, until RBY graduated?
