So we got Jarod Verkleeren or is this a joke ? Would be a HUGE pick up...Not sure what weight ? If true....

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Dunno, but I'll assume a joke until proven otherwise. Verkleeren probably projects at 149. With Nick Lee and Berge already in the 2017 class, doesn't seem to be much room for another guy around the same weight.

 

[ptomaselli]

Yeah. I'm hoping the next shoe to drop is Beard or Hoffman for the good guys.

Check today's date.

Party pooper.

Berge will be 157 to take over Nolf's spot....

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Possible. Also (very) possible he starts at 149, after Retherford is gone.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

1 year at 149 and then up to 157 sounds like a solid plan. Should be no pressure replacing Retherford and then Nolf in the lineup either

Which one? Sadulaev? I heard Cael took a pass on him - getting low of 'ships.

Arujau, if you believe our hyperventilating poster.

Would they take Verk and Joe Lee? If so, where do you see Joe fitting in?

i think Joe has always been solid depth guy - think Zach Beitz

Joe Lee probably projects at 157, and maybe could grow into 165 down the road. That's with or without Verk. Have to wait and see if he (Lee) can break into the starting lineup.

If the price is right, sure. Of course Lee can't get an offer until 7/1, but he knows what his brother got ... plus he's moving to State College this summer, so he can pick up his in person.

At this stage, whoever gets Verk is probably getting him dirt cheap, at least for year 1.

And, no, I don't believe he's coming to PSU -- at least not based on his brother yanking his chain.

 

[PSUBluebird]

No spot for Verklereen on the roster.

 

[tikk10]

More early-April breaking news

 

[Ja1339]

Still think ISU was a good option for him, JMO

Think Seth Nevills would forgo his Sr year like Nick and Joe are doing to get an extra year in the room ? He could do on line like Nick and Joe...Heck he has nothing to prove going 37 and 0 with all pins....As he seen today Cali has weak comp at HWT....It would be a win win situation....Plus get in our weight training program where he and Nick both need to be at right now....

Ok I'll bite. Seth has an opportunity to be a 4 time undefeated California State champ, no he does not forego his Sr. year IMO.

 

[El-Jefe]

Just in case this is still a question:

I'll just be happy to hear that Seth is coming to PSU. Call me superstitious, but it seems very premature to be discussing how soon he's coming.
