PSU-only Recruits & Commits news
- Thread starter Ruby Tues
- Start date
That would be a great get. Kid is tough. My guess is Ethan Stiles
This may be dumb question but what did Willie mean by the Beau edit?
Beau does the graphics for a lot of kids commitments through instagram
I’m stunned, it is Sadulaev , he’s fleeing Russia with everything going on, will have 4 yrs collegiate eligibility n a sweet NIL deal
This is my guess. NJ 2nd in 2021, finished 3rd in 2022 at 215 while weighing 185. Probably a college 197.
Failing that, A Jordan Conaway or Shakur Rasheed type is just fine by me.
With that name he sounds like a PSU safety from the 90's.
That name would also explain why Beau needs so much time for the graphic.
"Out of left field" does not necessarily mean lower on the big board though, right. Christian Carroll would be out of left field as there has been no talk about him to PSU.
If it was him, I’d think there’d be a lot more hype in the hints
#84 On Willie's Senior Big Board. Not ranked in top 20 at his weight entering season.
state second and state 3rd. nj weights kinda made him a tweener. he's a 197
Nominee for post of the year. Dennis Milleresque!
After looking into things, and listening to his interview, it seems he was wrestling up a weight to a weight and a half the last two years. It's pretty hard to beat the very best guys when you are 20 lbs lighter. He now walks around at 205, and at least early in his career at PSU he will target 197. Then will be the first time in his career where he is optimal for his size with a normal cut.
This coming year looks to be the first where he is 'closer' to his natural weight going 215 while still a bit undersized not having any cut. If he ends up running the table winning the NJ state championship, one would think he will run up Willie's board within his weight class to top ten, probably top 5. It will be fun to watch it play out. From his video, he is clearly committed all in, a hard worker and a high character kid. Pretty much a perfect fit for our program.
Then there is the fact that we targeted him as well. I don't see Cael chasing a lot of kids who are not in the top 20 in their weight class. Given Cael's eye for talent, I think there is a lot more to the story in terms of his potential, and despite his lack of top credentials, I get the sense he may be a diamond in the rough. Brings me back to those car commercials from the 70s, where the car is driving down a cobblestone street, with a diamond cutter in the back seat cleaving a priceless flawless diamond. A big tap with his hammer, while the camera zooms in on the tires bouncing all over the place. The interior remains riding smooth. A look through the jewelers loop, and he calls out "perfect" !"
Despite some early assumptions from me and others, I don't think the intent here is a room guy. Cael is a man of many talents. Most don't realize he is also a world class lapidarist.

Holy shit!! I didn’t even know we were in consideration even though I feel like every top recruit at least considers PSU. This is a huge pick-up. Kid is really good and only getting better. Setting up a 1-2 punch of Barr and Ryder should continue the upper weight dominance by PSU. I’m really excited by this commitment
Would not be shocked if Princeton were the choice here for a handful of reasons.
Oh well, announcement coming soon in March, to here's my top 3 in October. I guess that's progress.
Lilledahl and Forest on deck.
only a special kind of person would pass up a princeton education to go to penn state...
