Teske in the portal

He stated it as if everyone knew already. First mention for me, other than past rumors.

Edit- I mis-remembered his comment, he actually said something to the effect of "I am not sure if this is out there yet." And that Meredith's results may have been part of the reason.

We can't keep any high quality 125s lol. Suriano, now Teske. Why is he in the portal? Would love to know.
 
Did it say to where..Thinking it might be Northern Iowa or maybe Iowa State?
It was a comment from Cael and I doubt he would say if he knew, which he probably does. He just said he entered the portal today and said that he assumed people already had heard. Paraphrasing quite a but on my end.
 
Looks like Meredith the rest of the way.

I hope this is because Meredith won the job, rather than some family emergency back home.

And RH is coming next year, who he has rolled with during visits?!?!?!?.......

If that's a driver, then Caels pursuit of a 2021 guy (Poulin or other) would be another.

PS, I assume you know Brett M., super at Shik. He just passed yesterday. Way too young. Sad.
 
Dude.... he specifically said “I don’t know if this is out there yet or not”
Dude, seriously? I thought he said it the way I posted, is it that big of a deal? So I mis-remembered. I forget what my wife says all the time. Next time before I post I will ask you for a word for word transcript.

Yes we were.

I had lost touch with him since HS (moving away will do that) but remember him being down to earth, just a regular guy despite being the HS QB and 3 sport star.

Such a shame.
 
Man. Wish him luck wherever he ends up. I was still holding out hope for him just today when he was listed in the probables.

Pretty crazy that our original assumed lineup will have at least 3 different guys in it at the end of the year and could easily be a 4th at 149.
 
Can one assume that Busiello won't be eligible to compete for Penn State until next season? I haven't followed the kid's PSU to ASU to PSU saga, so I'm flying blind here.

There hasn’t been much of a saga, at least public wise. No idea why he left ASU, only had a simple instagram post saying something like broken dreams. Now the first official confirmation he is at PSU.

aalion can correct my paraphrase of his instagram post.

IDK about his eligibility to shirt, but starting this year seems very unlikely.

He wrestled 138 last year in HS, so 125 appears out. He won't start at 133 or 141.

If he can walk in and start at 149 as a true freshman, up a full weight from HS, being away from college practices and a college S&C program for 2 months ... he's good but he's not Zain. That would say more about our current 149s than about him.

Was he certified for a specific weight at ASU?

Would love to see us nab Richie Figs. The last I saw was a premature Instagram post with him in Buckeyes white and red but I don't think he is a100% commit there yet. Any news on his status?

Don't know. Guessing he was certified at ASU -- NCAA requires schools to load certification weights on Track on/before Nov 1. He left just a few days before that.

I don't have access to Track's weight mgmt features, so I can't look up his cert weight. Track lists him at 157 on the PSU roster, but those listings are notoriously 1-2 weight classes heavier than wrestling weights -- nearly every guy on the roster is listed heavier than where they compete.

So I would guess Busiello certed at 141 or 149, but that's purely a guess.
