Probably should include first name for Nevills
. Assume you're referring to Nick here while Snacks Redshirts.Agree ... ESPN wanted to feature the 2 Olympic medal winners and 2 guys going for 3 in a row, but once Cox and Snyder left center stage PSU was the only story left to be told.
Don't underestimate David Taylor's impact on recruiting. He was a rock star for a lot of kids in youth wrestling 5/6 years ago. Seeing him now as our biggest fan has to impress.
IMO, after Cael, DT remains the face of PSU wrestling. By giving him the stage ESPN unintentionally became a recruiting tool for PSU.

I hope Cael is thinking hard about how to keep DT in the fold long term. He is a tremendous asset to the program. Not sure how to accomplish that but that's what Cael gets paid the big bucks to figure out ;-)
God help ya, if you're using Spyker to back you off the RBY ledge.
Sorry Spyker, you know I'm kidding.
Yes. From what I am hearing they will be at different weights....Great opportunity for both...Great workout partners too !!!! Any ELITE wrestler would be a FOOL not to wrestle at PSU plus get a world class education !!!!God help ya, if you're using Spyker to back you off the RBY ledge.
Sorry Spyker, you know I'm kidding.
I think we've already seen DT's effect as an "unofficial" recruiter. I firmly believe he will become, ultimately, college's top recruiter - and hopefully at Penn State.
Hearing Minni is and may have already been the front runner since the Stevenson commitment.
Could be but i have not heard anything yet.....Teasdale will be great and so will Roman Bravo Young....
Just my personal gripe, but I don't like the overuse of nicknames (or initials, for that matter) on this board. Not everybody knows who the discussion is about, especially when brothers are involved. We're all fans here, and would like to follow the discussion, but sometimes simply can't identify the wrestlers by initials or nicknames.Probably should include first name for Nevills
Sorry -
There's no room for draggin' on this squad.
Fly High and Stay Fired Up
Like a Drag..
Oh, wait...
Never mind...

Aww, but nicknames are fun! No need to use formal names just because Clay can't keep up
Minn..Wow Lizack was sucking a pile of weight this year !!!! Think he moves up next season...
*Clears throat...inhales*...Get bent. Goodbye and goodnight and everybody!
For whatever reason, certain folks over at HR are claiming RBY to Goofers is a done deal. Not Chief, however.
Attention everyone! "Royboy" does NOT like the use of nicknames on this board.
This being the case, his real name must then actually be "Royboy".
That said, the question is - who names their child "Royboy"?
We'll wait for "Royboy" to respond.
At this time I'd like to remind you that Wildturk is not my amigo. He is, however, a huge Ohio State fan.
You truly have some issues. I have no idea how Tom continues to put up with you. Good God man
I'd guess the sarcasm was a retort to perceived 'board policing.' But I don't see any harm in his retort, or in your post about nicknames.
The lack of naming conventions on wrestle boards has caused me confusion before too; I never understood why truncations were so popular on boards with no character limits. Off the top of my head:
- use of 'AA' for Andrew Alton; AA to me always meant All-American. I did see 'Dylan' a lot more than 'DA'
- 'NQ': used both as Non-Qualifier and National Qualifier
- 'Jimmy', when both Gulibon & Lawson were on the roster at the same time (+2-3 characters to avoid confusion)
- 'Bo', for both Nickal & Bo Jordan. Less confusing this year in different weights, but +3-4 characters for clarity
- 'Nick', for both Suriano & Nevills (+3-4 characters for clarity).
- 'Nevills', for any of them really. Especially muddy in posts about future lineups.
- 'Dean', for both Gabe Dean & Dean Heil. Not sure why you would ever use a first name, same character length, when a last name is so much more unique.
- Coming up, 'Lee' for any of Spencer, Nick or Joe
- Really, any use of two-character abbreviations to rep first & last names. They always distracted me from the poster's point, when I'd have to break and go 'wait, who?'
Maybe it's left over from when board software didn't have specific comment reply features? When you would just post a blurb to a thread, and it only had context to the thread title?
In any event, I feel ya.
Just wait until Cael Happel graduates from HS. Multiple Happels and multiple ... nah, there's really only one Cael.
Are you implying there was a time when threads stuck to the topic? I would miss those days if I could remember them!
I believe it is Carl happel now.
Agree. Would still love to have them both. From what I've seen, RMV is excellent (cool name too). For non-wrestling related reasons though, I'll take the PA guy every time if it comes down to one or the other.
Oops - for the most part I was trying to be funny with this, but then the other side of me is truly wondering - Is this your real, birth certificate name?
If so, Why the effort to modify other's behavior by asking them not to use nicknames when we're all using them on the forum?
Not my real name.
Poster names or "handles" are generally nicknames. How many of the regular posters here use their real name? -- a few, but not many
Perhaps your given name is dropster, but I'd be surprised.
I won't add any more to this discussion...jtothemfp laid out my thoughts pretty well in his post above.
Back to celebrating PSU's victories on the mat and in the recruiting world.
He had off-season shoulder surgeries after each of the past two seasons. I think Cael indicated that he returned to the mat early in 2017. I doubt that there was ever a wrestle off with McCutcheon, but I don't know that for sure.
Or Bael Happel if he picks a college out of state
NJNICK
TEX or RECBO
GuilbonWONDEAN
OHIOBO
BIGNICKY
IndianaJOE or INDYNICK/JOE or for Spencer the one who got away Lee
wasn't Lawson LAWDOG
Maybe someone should run a poll on nicknames and we can settle this democratically
I guess "Champ" would be too confusing.
I just came up with a nickname...for your handle nickname - "BB12". From now on everyone needs to refer to Big Blue 12 as BB12. Okay? This will help keep things more interesting
