Robert Howard tweets he’ll be in attendance this weekend. Tried posting the pic of his tweet but couldn’t get it to work for some reason.

And we know Braxton Amos was in for a visit -- though his plans to drop to 195 next year (to prep for college 197) might not be good news for us.
Also gotta think Cael will go after a 174 next year if Starocci goes elsewhere. A couple good 2020 candidates would be Thayne Lawrence (if he can grow) and Gerrit Nijenhuis (if he can hold 174). The next big prize is 2021 Alex Facundo, but he might be hard to pry out of Michigan.
If he follows Masons trajectory, 165. Man would it be a shame if we dont get him, he will be #1 PFP as a senior. Insanely talented.
I really like this quote from Raptor.....think it applies to recruiting and why PSU has such success and very little public drama
Facundo is going to be special, I think, but a lot of ties to Ann Arbor. The guys I want most are the guys our coaches want most though.
For me, it's the other way around...the guys our coaches want are the guys I like to see commit and wrestle for PSU
.
Isn't that what I said?For me, it's the other way around...the guys our coaches want are the guys I like to see commit and wrestle for PSU
Ok. It's not just me. I thought you two were saying the same thing.
Kinda sorta, hence the smiley face...just playing, and it wasn't intended for you. If there is an ounce of difference, it's directed at those that think they know better than the coaches.
you mean we don't know better?
Penn State needs to do the right thing and save this young fella from having to spend 4 years in some dumpy midwest city with a crack monkey assistant coach who likes to be tossed after big wins
Squad is loaded. Focus on Howard, Ferrari, and Amos as Juniors now. HS Sophomores Facundo and Manville fit in real well! Dominating the globe is paramount....
Realize this has already been said, but...
I'll take Aaron Brooks, Michael Beard, Seth 'Big Snacks' Nevills, and Joe Lee over anyone else's incoming class for next year.

You’re the best Lemon. Don’t ever change. Love your personality on the board
Exactly. Cael changing the game once again and these other fans don’t understand. Doesn’t matter what year recruiting class. It’s a matter of what guys come in each year to fill needs and space out things.
This year they needed the lightweights so they bring in the little guys. Next year they need to fill in the upper weights and they bring in the big guys
Stable of studs on the sidelines just chomping to get in. Love it

The theories on other boards about our light class this year are humorous
Thanks, bud. I've gone a little soft with age, but I still keep a panic button on hand. Always ready for the next meltdown.
Another classic one: Cael will offer Howard but the offer is contingent on not visiting Iowa, like Cael does with every recruit.
Yeah, just like what Cael did to Lee, Cenzo, Teasdale ...
Yep, and this pretty much pulls the rug out from under all the cheating, slush fund, summer camp payments rhetoric out there. With 9.9 you need to be judicious and Cael has pretty much proved beyond argument he is the best.
Over the past 5-6 years we have seen some very stacked teams top to bottom tOSU last year OSU the year prior - one might start showing concern how they can fill a 10 weight team 1-2 deep with only 9.9?
Cael's formula seems to recognize 2-5 national champion caliber kids who deliver high bonus trump's 8+ mid-AAs in both duals and at the tourney.
Cael basically passed on this class due to the talent level, team need and balancing the 9.9.
I think we will find he pulls in 3-4 elite kids from the 2020 class because it is loaded with talent and all the old hand wringing will ramp up again on the other boards.
All hail Cael, he knows exactly what he is doing
I heard that we don't have any big board top 100 recruits and times are changing. It's good to see other boards optimistic,
He does seem to bring a healthy dose of reality check to this board at times and keeps things in perspective, even with the sky is falling mentality. Can't fault him for that. I respect someone who's honest.
Lol. Many may disagree but you’re underrated or even under appreciated around here. Funny stuff.
I really hope we land him. I’m starting to miss the “Cael is cheating” belly aching from our friends out west.
Hey, if it’s written in the 3” binder it’s not theory, it’s gospel truth.
Me thinks whomever gets the big Ferrari will be getting another in a couple years. I can't imagine a single school that won't be fighting hard for that pair... Ferraris aren't cheap..... Where can I donate to the slush fund?
Pyles just tweeted that a big recruitbis committing on FLO on Tuesday and the two early comments speculate Howard...he has visits planned and mentioned taking his time, I doubt it’s him.
Any other guesses? I have no clue, but curious of course...
