I think Rojas beat Barr, 3-2, in a dual meet at 171 about a month ago. I believe that was Barr's one loss this year.
PSU-only Recruits & Commits news
- Thread starter Ruby Tues
- Start date
Iowa commit running from a PSU commit hmmmmmmMI postseason preview. Davis is a clear favorite to win states.
Barr has a major obstacle -- 2x 189 champ and Iowa State commit Manny Rojas has dropped to 171. Rojas took 3rd at Illinois Matmen (aka Son of Midlands) this year. That may be the best postseason matchup at any weight across the country.
Michigan high school wrestling power rankings heading into 2022 regionals
See how the state's top wrestlers stack up heading into Wednesday's team regionals and Saturday's individual tournament.www.mlive.com
DISAGREE IF YOU CANT WRESTLE WITHOUT IN INJURIES THEN YOU CANT TRAIN THE YOUNGER ONE USUALLY DIDNT NEED A WHOLE MATCH TO WIN!!LOL
that'd be an ISU commit dropping to take on a PSU commit
After running from a PSU commit the previous 2 years
I have a pretty good insider on some D11 kids. I might see him in next week. I'll ask him about Kasak. He's the same guy that told me Crookham to Lehigh was going to happen. I'll let you know if I get anything of interest.
IIRC Willie said a few weeks ago that Kasak is down to PSU and Nebraska.
No announcement yet means there likely won't be one until after states. Most kids put recruiting on the back burner during the postseason, eliminate distractions.
That's probably good news for us. Once the season ends, Kasak's weekend commutes to M2 will resume.
I agree Jefe,
but Nebraska is truly a threat here, Bryan Snyder (Willies best friend) is always working on these D-11 kids , great assistant coach and recruiter with the deepest of lehigh valley connections obviously. He got Labriola to come to Lincoln from the Golden Hawks
and Condomitti from Northampton, and PInto from Stroudsburg. No doubt a threat with D11 kids.
Jefe who were those brothers who came out of northern Lehigh back in the late 90s they were pretty good. I guess all the small schools with a couple great wrestlers are now losing them to beca and the like
Drawing a blank ... maybe the Hluschaks in the early 2000s?
Some degree of that but overall seems cylical to me.
The places where this is less cylical are the long depressed rural areas suffering population loss and having less resources. The Allentown area is growing outward considerably and there's tons of talent; the nearby schools will have their turns over the years. North Schuylkill may never be what it was with the Cesaris.
Clymers were later than that. Ben now coaches Faith Christian Academy.
Herzog brothers. Remember watching them at states back then. Miss hearing about the smaller schools in that district. Northern Lehigh and Penn Argyll. Penn Argyll kids used to come into states with eight or nine losses and then toss kids around. Remember a dad from that school told me all his kids losses came to the other big district eleven powerhouses back then which were Easton Northhapton and Whitehall among others. They also had the best singlets at states hands down. Black with green four leaf clover lol
The Hluschak's went to Northern Lehigh. I think there were 3 brothers. They also played football and were on couple of teams that made states. Their coach on football team was Hall of Fame Jim Tkach, who's son Bo was good friends with Hluschak's. Bo committed suicide, and for the people that know the whole story it truly was a horrific event for Coach Tkach. The Coach became apublic speaker on youth mental health issues.
One of the Hluschak's was hired as teacher and assistant wrestling coach for Bangor. He left a few years later for another teaching job.
Sometimes Northwestern Lehigh gets confused with Northern Lehigh. Northwestern had the Snyder and Clymer brothers during that time.

Pen Argyl had a nice run on very talented individuals. Jim Santo along with a few other very solid coaches ran the Pen Argyl youth program for a number of years. They had a great feeder program with a few State Champs. Mikey Ricciato being a 3 timer.
Pen Argyl and Bangor had lost some talent to Pius X (ex.Sasha & Communale) ,before it was closed by Allentown Diocese. Now that talent is going to other Private schools.I believe BECAs Nate Desmond lives in Wind Gap and most likely would be in Pen Argyl District. The LaPenna kid for Notre Dame GP would be in Bangor District.

Nebraska is putting together a good run here. Not saying they are at our level but would love that some teams have stepped up their game
Current picture? Would be weird for Barr to be out in PA like the week of the state tournament.
Don't think so. My opinion is pat is stirring the pot.
And
I routinely oblige him.....
I'll say it again......If young Gibson is not wrestling 125 at this height......he is not starting for PSU. So.....your goal is clear........get taller
Very talented but that height scares me. I bet Hildabrant is 8-10 inches taller than himI'll say it again......If young Gibson is not wrestling 125 at this height......he is not starting for PSU. So.....your goal is clear........get taller
The wall enables an easy comparison: Levi's chin is even with the top of the wall. Mason's head is above that line (not including hair height).
The average adult head is 8+ inches tall. For Mason to be under 5 ft, Levi would have to be below 5-6.
Who here thinks Levi is below 5-6?
