Was there and manville earned that match, it was a close match wiith manville being the aggressor. Only issue i have with BEECA kids is they wrestle like okie st . Get a 1-2 point lead and stall ride. Kasak is a great pick up but unless he opens up offensively in folkstyle its gonna be alot of 1-2 point wins and loses. He’s not gonna see better competition in college.
Tyler Kasak commits to PSU!

I don’t think that’s at all fair to say about all BeCaHi kids. It certainly wasn’t true about Ryan Anderson and largely hasn’t proven true about Kasak. The Cruz brothers weren’t that way either.
I think it's been said but Cael doesn't really press for kids who he thinks are win 3-2 wrestlers. That apparently was more or less why Pletcher didn't get offered scholarship money. All reports are Kasak was a pretty high priority kid so he obviously thinks he can teach a very offensive style and turn his rides into tilts in college once he gets in the room. Especially since he's a DT kid.
People forget how good Mason and Carson were early in high school. Carson I think was hailed as a #1 PFP forever. Carson's injury definitely took a huge toll on him mentally and physically. Mason to be honest I think just realized he didn't care about folk anymore when he had no shot into the PSU lineup long term. Bottom line both got burnt out. I'm actually very optimistic about Pierson's long term trajectory. He's good but not TOO good yet ...
One thing I’ll say for Mason, and I think it’s helped Pierson a good bit, is that he’s remarkably supportive and protective of his brothers and I think in turn has tried to make sure Pierson doesn’t end up burnt out the way Mason did.
I recently watched Kasak's last-second loss to Adams at 2021 Fargo. Kasak was very aggressive on feet, and better there. Not surprised he overcame Adams this year at Trials.
But what caught my attention: on the mat, Kasak repeatedly lifted Adams' leg up by the ankle or knee, to turn him from there. It wasn't like a lace. It was someone with a natural aptitude for the bow and arrow but not trained on how to use it.
That will likely change in the PSU room.
Yup - not worth training someone to use it when it's illegal in high school. We saw how quickly Levi learned using it in the PSU room this year. He's a DT kid, transition turks is just in his DNA.
Off topic a bit, but has anyone looked at that 2020 106 bracket Kasak was in? I counted 5 future state champs, Kilkeary, Van Dee, Kasak, Church, and Watters. Briar Priest was another state champ who didn’t make it out of the WPIAL.
Other names of note: Repos, Nasdeo, Hohman, Carson Wagner, and Hayden Cunningham.
Has there even been a bracket as stacked as that one?

Offhand, Cenzo's freshman bracket also had Kemerer and Lizak -- 5 NCAA finals appearances.
I’ve been absent for a little while, super busy lately. But, this is one of the commits I hinted at a few weeks back. This was the one I was sure about. Talks with the other commit have seemingly gone cold. Like I said back then, I’m not totally sold on my source for the second commit and now that he’s told me talks have gone cold, I’m thinking it was a reach. I did confirm he was on campus, but I believe as of now, that’s as far as it’s gotten. He hasn’t committed elsewhere, so we shall see.
Is the other commitment Carter Neves? That one has been discussed kind of. I think the kid is strongly leaning PSU to the point you can consider him a commitment but he's probably going to go through the process and see what happens with some other moving pieces. Also, he's just finishing sophomore year and moving to Blair so plenty of time left to decide (for both sides) what the best move is.
In other words, what @PatMineo22 said in post #2 of this thread, 3 days aago.
Yeah and I'm posting another collaborating source from a credible poster, what's the issue? Pat also didn't say it was final, only "word is"
I wasn't before but try to be fair, and whatever issues have been largely if not completely cleaned up. Nobody's perfect, but in the past year or so he's been right far more than not.
The apocalypse is near.....
The Larry Saga surely softened most of us to Pat at least a little.
Pat learned to equivocate and postulate in order to rectify the falsity of his equivalence
My reconsideration was well before the Larry Lee Files.
funny how that is....truly. I and others would post his tweets and people would get a little worked up about it. Lord only knows what was said and not typed.
Maybe its a little bit of....the enemy of my enemy is my friend?!?!?!?
I actually heard on the radio
Today that he might be training at M2 or NLWC and the radio sports guy referenced mineo as the source lmfao. I spit out my coffee all over my dash I was laughing so hard apparently these people don't read this forum or they would know this days ago
Thanks man! Every day is a day to learn and get better!
Being on the Slush payroll to post anti-hawk propaganda made me a big fan. Also appreciate the guys that do it for free
I think "expects" is maybe a little bold, from what I heard he might consider NLWC.
