Been rumored for a little while that he'd be heading back to California for his college career. Trained with NLWC this year

LP is probably floored by this.

Make perfect sense for him to follow his dreams. Outgrowing 197 made PSU a pretty difficult choice given his brother(s). Wish him nothing but the best!
...a good beginning for the reborn Fresno State program...
...a fine young man from a very supportive family...

Good luck AJ! Does anybody know if that means little brother Seth is coming to PSU? Would make a lot of sense, probably the only chance that Seth and AJ actually meet is at the NCAA tournament.
I am guessing Cael will schedule a dual with Fresno State one year.
I give a lot of credit to the parents. I've spoken with Nick, AJ, and Seth (i.e., 3 of the 4 brothers). Each one is easy going, very relaxed, looks you in the face and is serious in their responses, etc. In short, based on my interactions, they really are nice people.
I wish AJ the best of luck. He certainly deserves it.
So that would make 2 of the brothers going to college in CA, and 1 going to college in PA. To keep family balance, the Mississippi flowing properly, etc., it would be appropriate to have the 4th brother go to college in PA.
(Offered in good humor. I refrain from offering opinions on where an athlete should go to college. That's their decision.)

Best of luck, AJ! Makes complete sense.
On a somewhat related topic, does anybody know how Jan Johnson is rehabbing, and whether he'll be on the roster next year?

Casey was apparently *not* engaging in coach-speak at the PSWC prematch before the Maryland meet. Seth coming east to State College would make a lot of sense at this point.
Seth coming east to State College would make a lot of sense at this point.Honestly, AJ is a pretty good talent. Better than I thought he would be. Undersized and beat some good kids this year. Mike Rogers the most notable of them. Hope he does great things at Fresno State with the Hokit bros.
Can only hope that this is a strong indication that Seth is coming to PSU. I believe that Nick's decision to come back to wrestle last season was influenced, at least in Part, by his desire not to have he or Seth in competition for 285 his senior year.
I think the wrestling program is fortunate to be involved with the Nevill's family and I can only wish A.J. the best moving forward.

Wait, what? I thought I read a very adamant post that said any talk about AJ transferring was just bad trolling ala RUCreedo
Just kidding, and best of luck to you AJ!

My takeaway from Casey's prematch briefing before the Maryland match was that AJ was probably going elsewhere but I didn't want to speculate beyond what I knew. But it was a strong impression. Probably best for all parties.
Good luck AJ!

My bad, must have been unwrapping my Wonka Bar when he announced.

You're 100% correct. That is a very close family and the parents definitely deserve much of the credit. I'm sure that being close to home is another factor that AJ considered heavily.
