Spyker said Suriano was teaching a parkour class just yesterday on the roof of his dorms! Here's the proof!
Fake news, Suriano always wears two gloves and is a dark sweatpants kind of guy. This is an imposter.

More what should be fake news, Intermat moved Suriano to #6 behind 3 wrestlers that he has beat.
I felt like defaulting out this weekend would impact his seed, now we may know how much.
Maybe they are trying to predict seeding? Makes sense if he drops to 6 in seeding, basically the same as getting 2/3 seed opposite Gilman
I can't imagine them not dropping him due to not wrestling in B1Gs
The feeling is that he can't go, and even if he does, he won't be effective. That's natural. I can understand the drop.
Thanks for finding this, looks totally different from all the limping descriptions I heard.
Before the injury I thought Nick was going to beat Gilman. Hobbled I no longer see that, but if he is capable of wrestling semi-finalist is not far fetched.
The video I saw was from Track, and it shows Nick walking off the mat with a pretty obvious limp, at least in my eyes. This view, Nick is partially blocked by the ref as he walked off.
I think what will be needed for a title, will be a Low AA, anywhere from 5th to 8th. That's what I am hoping for.
You need 8 scoring wrestlers to win a title.
Now, IF he can't go, then we'll need a great tournament from Gulibon.
The only thing I think you missed, is the part where all of Brands wrestlers, hate the sport so much now, that they are refusing to wrestle at Nationals and in fact the team has now talked Spencer into decommiting.
Depends on the severity of the sprain, and we don't have that information available.
You and I disagree on this. As I tabulate it if Nick does not earn a single point I believe we win by somewhere around 10 points.
Geez! That was a much weaker core of 7. What if Cael had wanted to swap out Zain and Nico for two we had. It's not the absolute number per se, it's who that 7 are.
2012-13 Penn State @ NCAAs
1st Place - National Champions
123.5 points
133 - Conaway, DNP - 3.5 pts
141 - Pearsall, DNP - 1.5 pts
149 - A. Alton, DNP - 2.5 pts
157 - D. Alton, DNP - 5 pts
285 - J. Lawson, DNP - 0.5 pts
125 - N. Megaludis, 2nd - 18.5 pts
165 - D. Taylor, 2nd - 24 pts
174 - M. Brown, 2nd - 20 pts
184 - E Ruth, 1st - 26 pts
197 - Q. Wright, 1st - 22 pts
"8 scorers is a MUST" isn't a rule that holds true at NCAAs
I don't agree with this at all. For the sake of argument, does a scoring wrestling equate to an all American?
Here is what we've had when we won:
2011 - 5 AA, 3 Finalists, 1 Champ
2012 - 6 AA, 5 Finalists, 3 Champs
2013 - 5 AA, 5 Finalists, 2 Champs
2014 - 7 AA, 2 Finalists, 2 Champs
2015 - 5 AA, 1 Finalist, 1 Champ (we lost)
2016 - 6 AA, 5 Finalists, 2 Champs
Looking through these years, the non AAs scored insignificant points
Why this year do we need 8 scoring wresters?
In my opinion, even without Nick, we have 7 guys, all capable of AA, 5 have a shot at the finals and 4 have a shot to win.
Somehow the group of Conaway (8) Gulibon (5) Brown (1) McIntosh (3) Lawson (6) Beltz (1-2) and Cutch (2-2) probably didn't strike the fear in the opposing teams that our current lineup from 149-HWT does
Sorry, did not mean in any way to disparage this bunch. After all, they did finish 6th .

Only one time in the last six years has a team needed 8 scoring wrestlers to win the title. One other time a team needed 7 scoring wrestlers. And, in the other four years, it was 5, 5, 5 and 4. I'm just not understanding why you are so set on 8 scoring wrestlers.
Our 7 scorers if they perform as expected are far better than anyone else's core scorers. The other qualifiers don't NEED to contribute much. Would it be nice to have Nick go and Jimmy finish strong?? Sure, but even if not we are in good shape.
Well, we scored 123 points with only 6 AA's last year,....130 is achievable if 49, 57, 65, 74, 84, 97 and HWT all AA wrestling at or higher than seed and hitting their bonus potential. 130 is more than enough to win as neither daO$U nor the Pokes are likely to eclipse 115.
Because people keep responding.
21 can defend himself, but all those years are different. Obviously.
The difference this year is that Ok St could have 8-10 AA and tO$U could put 5 in the finals.
This year will be fun as a wrestling fan, while the fan of a particular school might be a case of what might have been. this includes us.

First honest and truthful post I've seen on the topic. Well done amigo. (Not Turk, as he refuses to be my amigo, nor anyone elses amigo, other than maybe Ohio State).
"Ohio State could have five finalists". Now, see folks, I said the same thing. I said they have four locks and one possible(Martin). Also, yes OK St could very well have 8 AA's. In fact, I think they get 9 AA's.
And finally, yes, EVERY year is different, and that has been my point: THIS is that year, in which you need 8 point scoring wrestlers in order to win, due to the top heavy nature that will favor a 9 wrestler team in the Cowboys, and a possible 5 finalist team in Ohio State.
Now, UNLIKE hating fans, I don't care who wins between Ohio St and Oklahoma State. If my team does not win, I don't care who wins. Right Turk?

Dont make us into kissing cousins, you still owe me a night out. After that maybe we can be
Oklahoma State: A possible 9 all amerians, and yes some will bonus
Ohio State: A virtual lock for 4 finalists, with another possible and yes, they will get bonus.
For the 1,000th time, THIS YEAR you need 8 scoring wrestlers.
THIS YEAR
THAT MEANS THIS YEAR. GOT IT?
Guns you have become internet message board toxic waste. A true EPA reclamation project 20 years from now. You present as an engaged guy but the urge to threadjack has become downright MK like. The other guys on this thread have a lot to offer. Maybe let them have a little space? Thanks bro.
I used to enjoy reading this site. Kind of hard to enjoy it lately 21guns. Place should be renamed 21guns illustrated.
+1000
I gotta say I'm at the point where I might just need for another place to talk about PSU wrestling. There are two members here who have no respect for others and/or dominate threads with complete drivel. Tired of it.
Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call El Jefe's posts "drivel."
Ladies and gentlemen, our first certified graduate of Jammenz Troll Camp!
(Seriously, thought that was "drivel" crack was hilarious.)
About the only thing I remember anymore from Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Successful People: you can't control what other people say or do, but you can control your reaction to them. (Not that I always remember that lesson.)
Suspect the pain source isn't just a poster or two -- it's the constant back-and-forth with them. One way to cut that off is to not respond. Of course others might still respond, maybe they're not as offended.
If a particular poster says things that are too dumb or too angry or too obstinate or too whatever, that you can't just roll with it ... the Ignore button can be your friend.
Whatever option is chosen: roll with it, get offended, ignore it ... it's a choice.
I don't understand all the attacks on wildturk jumping ship to tOSU. You are the one proclaiming BoJo, Moore and NaTo as locks to make the finals and not recognizing that Penn State has 5 that can legitimately make the finals. Have you jumped ship? It's ok if you have. The tOSU forums could use more posting volume.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Good luck with the first half of that sentence.
