Pat Mineo

So does this mean Mineo has turned the corner in the last month or so? Is he now considered reputable?? Or still taken with a gain of salt?

EDIT - Nope. He's still the same POS.

I would say the big picture of what he says is most likely reputable while the specifics should be taken with a grain of salt.
I.e. koll going to Stanford vs Koll making 500k a year.
The guys definitely has his fair share of inside info.
 
I feel this is a copout but anyone see JC in Steen? Strong kid, positionally sound and a grinder. Won't blow it open against anyone but will beat a lot of good guys that way and won't lose matches he shouldn't.

Not knowing much about Steen, how would you compare him to other Reynolds’ products? Mason Beckman and Cole Matthews, for example.

IIRC, Beckman was an elite prospect (like Top 10 PFP) and his career obviously played out very well (2x AA) ... idk as much about Matthews as a recruit but he gave Eierman all he wanted at NCAAs this year. From what I hear, Reynolds kids are very often just the "grinder" mold.
 
Hey noodle heads..

Mathews is Steen's cousin.

Steen now holds the all time win % record at Reynolds.

Ironman Champ and 2 x Powerade Champ.

-Beat Ungar in finals at a Ironman.
-Beat Arizona State recruit Carter Dibert two years in row at Powerade 🤠

Also teammate of C-star and has worked with a huge # of D1 kids from across the country! He's no stranger to the big time!
 
What happened with her and Mike Grey’s wife?
Actually, nothing. Sorry for misleading you. I was just referencing a dumb unrelated joke (about why everyone is leaving Cornell). (I almost deleted my post for fear of accidentally starting a rumor, but it already got a like, and I don’t like to delete a liked post, for fear of disrespecting the like.) :)
 
Mineo seems to get it right more than he gets it wrong; so when he reports it, it at least creates a buzz.


The only issue I ever had with him is a debate on whether or not Spencer Lee had red-shirt year still available.

He was a little egotistical and dismissive when I, along with 2-3 actual current/former DI wrestlers stated that Lee still had one since you only lose it if you use it...

He was adamant that once you burn a RS, it cannot be regained (incorrect).

At some point, he realized he was wrong and rather than owning it and apologizing for calling us uninformed, he just delete the entire thread.

I thought that was kind of a bitch move!

Aside from that, no problem with him.

Wow that is a bitch move. Also shows that he doesn’t know shit about college sports even tho he’s somehow found some contacts in wrestling.
 
My guess is Mineo just threw a guess out for Penn State and Wick's mom or Cael DMed him to correct him. In the screenshot the OP posted, he mentioned he talks to Cael. As unbelievable as that seems, Cael DOES follow him on twitter so I might actually buy that.
 
I believe he just reported today that PSU will be getting another so-called big name transfer. Some guy named Sadulaev. Can't find his name on any college roster. How good can he be? But Mineo swears he can be a low AA :)
 
If only I could see what he tweets. I was blocked a few weeks ago for calling him out on making stuff up. That aged well, at least. He’s a Herbstreet fanboy. I think he got played and his last tweet was his only play so he didn’t have to admit it.

Mineo is a shitbird who will play both sides of a story, hit sometimes and miss others, but will incessantly fight with people on twitter who call him out when he misses or sits on the fence and tries to take credit after the fact. He is a troll, and trolls are the lowest form of humans that exist on the internet because, in their minds, they "win" when you interact with them, whether your post is positive or negative.

As for Cael following him, he's like Michael Jordan. An insane competitor who not only takes actual slights to the Nth degree, he will sometimes concoct or exaggerate what people are saying about him or his program if it can remotely be perceived as a slight. Hence him taking umbrage with the Teasdale Scuffle thing years back, even though his entry in the tournament was substantiated with e-mails and being in the bracket the night before. Hence him logging onto twitter after like a 2 year hiatus to comment on Askren's "Sanderson Steal" comment. There are many more examples, both public and private.

Because Mineo is a shitbird who has no scruples as it pertains to being a "Big J" and only wants attention, he has no formal affiliation or media employer. So since he has no boss the only way to contact him is directly. And Cael will, directly or through a backchannel, communicate with people who he feels are doing harm to his program, because he is the greatest winner ever associated with college wrestling. So him talking to Mineo is not really that crazy, especially given how small the wrestling community is.

I will take an Ironbird........might be a bit of a dipstick.......but even he doesn't steal a kid's and a families moment of pride and joy from announcing something to the public of which they are so proud. To do that.....in my opinion.....is lower than Squid Sh!t. The squid that live in the Marianas Trench :)

Ironbird is as big a piece of s**t as they come. The guy has accused kids of taking steroids...he has accused parents of taking payoffs to wrestle at certain programs and has no problem spreading bullsh*t about coaching staffs and programs cheating to win with not a shread of evidence. Hes a straight up dickh**d...plain and simple.

While that is all true, it is 2021 and I usually don’t bother with him because they, you know, may still be holding him back a few grades. We’re supposed to be above picking on somebody for that.

So you are saying Mineo has a scuba partner in the Squid Sh!t? :)

If he goes HW, and if Gable returns, then he’ll just have to settle for second place then lol.
