PSU - Navy Match Thread

The list of those kind of wrestlers is longer than you think! Drew Foster didn't win a high school state championship even. Ronnie Perry qualified for PA states once and finished 7th before finishing up as a runner up at NCAAs his last year.That's just off the top of my head. I bet if we go deeper and dig into some AA's background, we'd have a much longer list.
Those guys are the exceptions and not the rules but it just goes to show, every champion/AA has a different paths to get there. For Penn State, with how we recruit, for the most part, our champions will be the "highly touted" recruits but our champs have different paths as well. Some had star written all over them from Day 1 (DT, Zain, Nolf, Bo) but then we have our Anthony Cassar.
We're blessed Cael has the ability to identify and develop both type of champions.
he certainly didn't like the grip and tie up the kid gave him... too bad he didn't adjust to that..
Funny I was thinking the same about the quality of your posts
So Beard is better than a high podium finisher? Yet Beard did not win the Clarion open. I have to think about that for a bit.
no. Wait. I don’t.
You don’t get on the top steps of the NCAA podium by luck.
Conel wrestled like nearly everyone in their first match in the blue singlet at rec hall. Gassing. Lol.
Ed Ruth never won a PA state title. I think he took 3rd twice. He turned out to be a pretty good college wrestler too.
Phil Davis finished 4th and 5th in states but was a 4 time AA and national champ in college
You don’t inject dianabol, it’s an oral steroid. Jus sayin...
Pat Cummins didn't qualify for states until he was a senior and then didn't place and was a 2x AA and a finalist. Lots of stories like that. Neither of the Moore brothers ever won a state title either.
Hey, I didn’t sign a photo release for this picture of me.
He is 1-0 this year in Division 1 Wrestling. What was your Division 1 wrestling record?
Give him a chance and be supportive. He is a young kid who I am sure is doing his best to get better.
As a member of the class of '69, there are no 69 jokes!
Not until next year anyway, based on my math.
Hi Tom, I mean no harm, but I can’t resist repeating a comeback I once heard somewhere:As a member of the class of '69, there are no 69 jokes!
“What? There’s no mirrors at your house?”

I did not see any of the matches. That said, listening to Byers' comments on Cenzo, his complete annihilation of the 11th ranked kid, and his post match interview, is it fair to say Cenzo is on an absolute mission this year? Look out Marinelli!
Someone else said the hammers looked like, well, hammers yesterday. For me, Gardner was also a very pleasant surprise. But I'd be careful extrapolating too much from one match, whether for Cenzo, Gardner, Teske, Conel or anyone else on the team. It's a long season!

Coaches were looking for effort, and across the board they got what they wanted in the first action of the season. Plenty to improve on, as wins and losses (all wins on this day) give the wrestlers and coaches lots of information to build on.
The PSU guys tend to improve as much or more than any team's wrestlers throughout the course of the year, with one singular focus...peaking at the right time. I'm not making too much or too little from an 11/10 dual, with 4 months of wrestling ahead of us.
Just continue working hard guys, your best days are ahead...

Fair enough, but certainly not FUN to discuss!
Yes, he wants to make a run at the Olympics after the season, Byers said that was a big motivator.
Can you imagine a forum for true enlightened Buddhists? There would literally and correctly be nothing worth saying!
#thepriceofwisdomNope--no mirrors--that way I don't have to look at myself!Hi Tom, I mean no harm, but I can’t resist repeating a comeback I once heard somewhere:

Not sure I heard him right in his interview but he mentioned him and some others not going to Army to wrestle at the Farrell. Did anyone else hear this?
Yes--he said himself and Tony will be going to Bill Farrell and not West Point. I was suprised to not hear Mark listed there honestly. Plus former/non starters like Nolf and Brooks, of course.
Confirmed, he's going to the Bill Farrell.
How about Hell? Or did he leave that in Columbus?

Huh, here I thought 34 and dreaming just had nothing important to discuss
Well, the truly enlightened have no need for material things such as food.
