You mean you're not handing the 2020 championship to the Lee/Warner-led Hawkeyes?

I agree Tim. Not so fast guys...We have Nick Lee and Berge who will both eventually be at 149 and Jarod is npot beating either one of the,,,IMO, He just got pinned in the Pitts classic by the USA guy. I think the match was tied or 1 point before the pin...Not sure what to think about this one....I am more worried about the 197 pound guy we just got last year from New York...I am wondering if we are not getting Beard now....Hummm

The house that Cael is building will be to the international scene what it is already to the college scene. DT-Zain-Nolf-CJ-Bo- and Hall are all looking very strong approaching 2020. And what kid coming up wouldn't want to be a party of that!
Gumby doesn't stretch this far.
I agree with Johnstown.
I'm beginning to get the feeling that a lot of these recruits are signing on because of the NLWC and who they get to train every day with and the quality of the academics. They choose to then take their chances that they will find their way into the lineup at some point to attain AA or higher!

Has anybody told the Hawks yet?You mean you're not handing the 2020 championship to the Lee/Warner-led Hawkeyes?
Hah....so you're saying that instead of cornering the market on orange juice futures, Cael has effectively dominated the market on wrestling futures?
This is exactly right. And if I had some advice for our friends over at HR, I'd tell them to go ahead and give a significant bump up on that $100,000 HWC goal they have a sticky on over there. Kids are now not only thinking about college but what they want to do internationally. Cael knew this and imo made the NLWC a huge part of his plan on building his program. He's a genius...
Other than injuries, I really have no idea how in the hell a Penn State wrestling fan could be worried about anything...
Or easier and easier depending on your perspective...WE ARE!!
Congrats Willie. It's little wonder Cael takes such good care of you during contract negotiations.

What's the chance they all survive the riggers of NCAA wrestling? 50/50 is my guess. They get in and they eat right, train right, survive the college transition and they still have to survive injuries and burnout. Everyone gets half scholarship and if they falter they transfer out (plenty have) or they focus on academics (some have, as well). With Olympic and Athletic RS available, it's a puzzle only Cael and coaches can solve.
Teasdale at 125, 133
Busiello at 133, 141
RBY at 133, 141
NLee at 141, 149
Verkleeren at 149, 157
JLee at 157, 165
Berge at 157, 165
Manville at 165, 174
Wittlake at 184
Beard or Hoffman at 197
Nevills at 285
Johnstown is spot on in that this is just as much to do with the Club as it is to do with the varsity. If you think you're good enough, get in for a year or two and find out.
Iron sharpens iron!

I mean if we are being honest.

The depth is insane.

Will be shocked if Teasdale ever sees 125. He just wrestled 126 lb for states, missed freestyle weigh-in for 55 kg / 121 lb (Ramos and Garrett made 57 kg 125 lb), and has a HS year left to grow before hitting a college S&C program.
The ONLY way I see it is if he goes as a true freshman, to afford Nails a shirt year ... and even that seems improbable given typical growth patterns.
Well, those concerns about in-state recruiting didn't last too long.
Or about as long as Teasdale and Verkleeren allowed.

It's just a matter of time that the FULL COURT PRESS brings Beard in too.
Gavin has no intention of wrestling at 125. Not happening... that's not to say he won't be encouraged to make it. No clue what Caels plan for him is but he would struggle to make that weight.

What do you mean nothing to worry about? I'm worried how Cael is going to manage all this talent
I'm considering making t-shirts that say "The Dynasty" on the front and "Just. Got. Stronger" vertically on the back. Navy blue shirt, white letters.
Suggestion for the front:
Head shots of the 10 projected 2017-18 starters on front with Keener in the center. The Dynasty underneath.
Sure, but we'll only be able to print those on XXXL shirts, considering that we basically would need so much space with all the studs we have and not knowing who will be the starters.
Guns gets his shirt 25% off since he came up with the slogan.
Are you going to put the starters on there, or the projected 8 scoring wrestlers that we'll need to win NCAA?
It would nice to hear the announcement that all sides have agreed to a contract extension.
I think Cael has been a little salty since OSU sent backups to Reno and won the title. So he's assembling a roster so deep that his backups could win nationals.
I really did not see Verk coming here, but happy he did, welcome!

That and PED use and hoping for another Bubba J type scenario where Cael "screws" another wrestler. This time it's "forcing" Cenzo to go 174 so Hall can go at 165. That's a new one on me
the whole mark to 65 thing was talked about by Mark, but I think it was more that they (parents) thought he would have more success at 165 than 174. Now with a NC sitting on the self and Valencia more than likely heading to 184, it leaves BoJo as his main rival for the next season. So maybe this isnt as big of a deal anymore.
Could you imagine the discussion about Cenzo being too short for 174.........thread after thread of him being too short.....the HORROR!!!!!
