SVN to PSU!!

2022

125 - Howard - rFR
133 - RBY - rJR
141 - Bartlett - rFR
149 - Nick Lee - SR after Olympic Redshirt
157 - 1 of the 4 B’s (Boone, Busiello, Berge, Baraclough)
165 - Joe Lee - rSO
174 - Starocci - rSO
184 - Brooks - SO not sure if he ORS or regular RDS
197 - Beard - rSO
HWT - Kerkvliet - rFr after ORS. I’m assuming he gets last year as a redshirt.

Not a bad lineup.
The other great thing about landing Van Ness: Cael is now possibly back into Luxury Recruiting mode.

Barring health issues, the only question is how long Howard can hold 125. Otherwise there are zero recruiting needs in 2021 and 2022 -- only opportunities.
 
Honestly, and don’t kill me, I was a little turned off by the instagram video and especially the rap music. One lyric in the background was about a guy getting out of jail for manslaughter. Give me a humble Aaron Brooks or Jason Nolf any day. I get its a different era with all the social media and I am happy for such a great commit,but I was afraid Suriano was a mistake,...getting the same feeling with that video. Blast away!

Here’s to hoping luxury recruiting mode can entice Figs to jump on board. 😎

Its only music yo. Some people need that outlet of release. Me included in some people.
 
Van Ness and Bartlett back to back is just gonna be unfair.

WE ARE!!!
Welcome Shayne! Wow! Beast program lands Beast recruit! Super education, super wrestling program, on top of that, it’s the best time you’ll have in your life x 100. There’s just something magical about that school

Nothing wrong with you disliking rap music imo.

But, Hundreds of years ago, some folks were more than a little turned off by the artists of the day who were producing nude sculptures and paintings. The critics claimed it would lead to moral decay of the artists and the public who were admiring it. But Michelangelo and his peers, the other Renaissance masters turned out ok. Not trying to compare rap and Renaissance art, just making a point.

It’s Ok not to like rap music. By it’s art and culture (even if it’s not for everyone). So why condemn it and lump those who listen to it as mistakes or as morally inferior?
 
With Cael pulling in all these blue chippers, does he realize that the wall space in the Wrestling room is out of space for any more portraits of National Champs? Am I going to have to go into the adjacent student exercise gym to look at the wall there to see these upcoming champs? It is starting to get concerning.

Tikk on another thread asked about a good wood worker in State College. Tikk there is noone available, they are all busy making Cael thropy cases (Hodge ones included). This Get of SVN is only going to compound these problems.
 
We’ll remember to give you credit when he is a bust for calling it on a count of a song lyric about a man getting out of prison for manslaughter. Note taken

Murders row begins at 125 and doesn't end until the team is back on the bus.
 
Murderers row is a lot more violent than manslaughters row so I imagine some people might be a little more upset about that than a lyric In a rap song.
Agreed that both are highly inappropriate in today's society. I am suggesting we call them:

"The Ten Young Men Who Will Leave You Severely Chaffed, Bewildered and So Filled With Consternation That You Question Every Decision You Have Ever Made In Life Row."

I realize it might be a bit wordy and will need to be explained to Iowa and Rutgers Fans......but it does not suggest ending someone's life........just ruining it. :)

Bo Nickal pinned Sammy Brooks twice in less time than it takes to say that.

Gives Cael time to "rebuild" the "slush fund" ;);)
 
Possible benefit to unclogging the Blair pipeline - Marc-Anthony McGowan is coming down the pike
 
If SVN is the #1 overall recruit , where is Facundo? For some reason I thought he was #1.

Facundo was at one time, but is now #3 behind Van Ness and Figueroa. I think he dropped when he lost to Cam Amine in 2019.

Van Ness and Figueroa are both street names. Facundo needs to get a street named after himself.
 
Wasn't Carson Manville #1 in 2021 at one point?
Just inside the overall top-10 mid 2018, before hanging in the 11-14 range, then dropping out ... I believe. He was the second highest sophomore in tat timeframe.
 
Gnat's eyelash separates a bunch of guys in the P4P rankings. I know there's several grade levels represented, but PSU now has 4 guys (Bartlett, Facunda, Howard and Ness) that were ranked in the all-grades top-10 P4P rankings early 2019 and after.

As soon as we landed him Flo dropped him just to make things look fair. In time we might see Facundo, SVN, and Richie Figs 3, 4, and 5 ;-)
Flo isn't that bad -- unless they recently hired the guys who used to do the Goofer Rankings a few years ago.

I don't know. If Figueroa picks the good guys, moving all three to the 3, 4 and 5 spots would probably prove to be excellent click bait.
 
I remember seeing Nolf at a women’s soccer game his freshman year and thinking man, this kid doesn’t have his priorities right. I wish I wasn’t serious. Turned out ok for him on so many different levels and virtually has every intangible you’d ever want from a person. If someone thinks there is a negative about a kid because he had some rap music on his Instagram, get with the times.
