PSU-Only Recruiting News

Your headline is totally misleading. It should says something like Flo thinks he'll go to PSU. CP clearly states he doesn't know where Blaze is going but he thinks it will be Penn State.

Fair. But your reply is misleading. CP said he thinks because he "heard" from sources (perhaps) that Marcus Blaze will go to Penn State. So it was not his opinion only.

Where do people see Blaze? 141?
At Penn State, that's the most likely spot. When Desmond comes after next year, then they'd have

125 Desmond
133 Lilledahl
141 Blaze
149 SVN

Then that leads into the Kasak/Haines/MM/Duke/Ryder/Sealey/Barr/Henckel/Asher/Facundo logjam from 157-184 leading up to the Mirasolas at the top of the lineup.

Davis? Have we given up on him already?

"Given up" is the wrong word when comparing against that caliber of competition. I don't think he will be able to hold 125, and I don't think he'll be able to beat the other three potential world champion caliber wrestlers (assuming we get Blaze). He certainly will have a chance to prove himself, though.
 
We're doing ok on the mat, but it's getting more clear by the day, Cael needs to improve the achedemics side of this program.

We need our kids to start graduating in 2-3 years just to make room for the inbound. It's becoming a real problem.

Except that the logs keep volunteering to join.

So who is it a problem for?
 
Iowa will NEVER figure this out.
Even if they figure it out what is their fever and impassioned pitch, come to Iowa and win a couple AAs.

Getting nothing from Kemerer, Eierman, Warner and Woods is just kicking their ass when it comes to recruiting successfully the elite kids.
 
The recruits went 21-2, 18 tech falls, a pin, 2 decisions & 2 losses, at U20's today.

Lilledahl 3 techs
Desmond 2 techs & 2 losses (Desmond's out)
PJ Duke 3 techs & a decision (No byes for PJ)
Sealey 3 techs
Ryder 2 techs & a decision
Henkel 2 techs & 1 pin
Connor Mirasola 2 techs (*Bye to round of 32)
Cole Mirasola 1 tech (*Bye to round of 16)

*The upper weights had significantly fewer competitors.

Blaze should look at that and commit immediately. If he wants to reach his goals PSU is the clear choice

Someone said blaze is there. Why isn’t he wrestling I wonder. Or is it crazy Forest, Luke are wrestling it.

Lightning knows how important it is to win the us open. That gives you a bye to the finals at WTT.

More the latter. Compete at a SR-level ass-kicking contest, then fly cross-country to compete in another ass-kicking contest with several more rounds? Good way to get injured.

It made some sense when it was Bo Nickal already being a 3x NCAA champ.

Makes a whole lot less sense when it's an incoming HS senior.

PSU recruiting Marcus has nothing to do with Joey being at Purdue.
My mistake, apparently.

This is what happens when undefined pronouns are used; i.e., no room for "his" brother. Who is "his" referring to, the brother wrestling at U20 or the brother not wresting at U20?

It's been a source of recurring confusion in at least a couple threads.
 
PSU Recruits at U20:
57kg- Luke Lilledahl takes 1st Place
57kg- Nate Desmond DNP
70kg- PJ Duke takes 1st Place
74kg- Joseph Sealey takes 2nd Place
79kg- Zack Ryder takes 1st Place
79kg- William Henckel takes 3rd Place
92kg- Connor Mirasola takes 1st Place
97kg- Cole Mirasola takes 2nd Place
