RBY also underperformed based off his recruiting ranking lol
Willie Says Teske is Leaving
- Thread starter WEAREPSU_LI
- Start date
If that joke bothered you, you probably need thicker skin. There were some decent jokes in that thread, and that was one of the better ones.
That said, I continue to be amazed by the deep-rooted, corrosive bitterness toward PSU on the HR board. It's very unbecoming in one respect, but also somewhat fascinating and extremely entertaining. It's sort of like driving by a huge train accident - mass destruction but can't take your eyes off it.
The comments are interesting but the one "tough" guy that insists he name names or go away is...wait for it...a Rutgers fan. How ironic.
Also met her in Los Angeles. I was out shopping and she was with her kids. We smiled at each other, was very pleasant. Family looked tight.
I wish the powers that be would re-evaluate the weight system in wrestling. Having someone who needs to get below 125 pounds in the modern era makes no sense to me. People are bigger than they were even 25 years ago. How many kids in the overall population have the ability to walk around at a weight even close to 125 pounds?
I have two sons that walk around under 125. I was around 135 at 18 and I now sit at 205. They argue with me all the time that it's easier lose weight than it is to gain weight. They eat often, just can't gain weight..... yet. I've met quite a few adults that are on the lighter side, not uncommon at all.
And yet the international weight is 125.4 -- so apparently there aren't just enough kids in the overall population, there are enough with world class wrestling talent.

Kids grow, that's a fact. But the argument that not enough "lightweights" exist isn't completely true. While it's not the best data to make a case for college-aged weight, the data above suggests a larger pool than some believe exists. IF there is a weight change coming in the future, I suspect it will be an increase of a couple pounds for the lowest weight class (now 125).
Interesting fact: In 1904, the lightest Olympic weight class (bantamweight) was 56.7kg (125.0 pounds). In 2016, the lightest Olympic weight class was 57.0kg (125.66 pounds). Not much change in 112 years.

In 1904, the lightest weight class was 47.6 kg. 56.7 was the third-lowest. It has moved around a lot. Lowest was 60kg in 1920, then 52 kg from 1948 through 1968, then 48 kg from 1969 through 1996.
The lower weight classes are a feature of wrestling, not a bug. Very few sports allow the smallest athletes to compete at the highest levels.
I still remember watching Bobby Weaver winning his gold medal in 1984 and running around the mat carrying his baby son. That was at 48kg, or 105.5 pounds.
Nico’s curse. You can beat him in the room, but can you beat his curse 24/7?
Nico 0

Thanks for the correction. The source I used says lowest was 56.7...your credibility is high, so will try to understand the difference later...
No worries. I initially checked Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_and_Olympic_Champions_in_men's_freestyle_wrestling) which, obviously, not always trustworthy, but I knew there used to be a 105.5. I was able to confirm with UWW's database (https://unitedworldwrestling.org/database)
So out of curiosity.. is there any follow up on the Teske is leaving OP?
Interestingly, the same question was asked in an HR thread about this subject, after only 96 off topic messages. So, after 194 messages, no one has any idea if Teske is leaving or not.
Hasn't anyone gone on vacation yet this year?
In actual news Nick Nevills is signing with NLWC.. so there is that..
I went on vacation this year. Went to Minny for BIGs and the Burgh for NCAAs. But I still don't know what is up with Teske, but we did win BIGs and NCAAs and neither was close.
I haven't seen anything from Willie. So, he was likely scolded after posting the tweet. Perhaps we hear tomorrow on FRL?

I was curious enough last week to join that closed fb group, which is unsurprisingly pretty trashy and, in general, pretty tough to read or even scroll-browse, FB being largely unthreaded. The host dude who made the claim that Teske got arrested by Campus Police, claimed it was a 4 out of 10 on a bad things scale. He then spent a bunch of time reminding how right he was about Suriano & Teasdale and also making fun about new requests to the closed group. He posted screenshots of RBY and Teske's mom requesting to join, and joked about Cael sending in reinforcements (to try to refute his claim). RBY is roommates with Teske & posted a video of Teske in their room--by way of refutation of the claim that Teske was leaving. I presume Teske's mom (or whoever female name with last name of Teske) was joining to read the claims herself, but we never saw her reply or comment.
The original claimant dude scoffed at RBY's refutation with something along the lines of "just b/c he's there now or at practice now, doesn't mean he's NOT still going to leave in the future" or something like that.
I can't tell enough from all that to make a call beyond:
- still seems possible that Teske did get in some kind of trouble
- would be real tough to refute that with actual evidence
- he seems to be at PSU and attending practice still
I don't even know if that helps you, beyond returning to the OP from a bunch of tangents lol. Good luck!
In other news, Morgan McIntosh is homesick and is leaving Penn State.
Well, Teske's Twitter doesn't look like a kid planning on transferring...@BrodyTeske https://twitter.com/BrodyTeske?s=09
Pics or it didn't happen.
Still don't know how to take pics with my supposed Smartphone and even if I did I wouldn't know how to post them.
Regarding Teske's Mom.....Not giving any creedence to these comments, but....I'm trying to think how my Mom would have handled reading Facebook posts about me doing stupid things while I was in college. It wouldn't have been pretty.
These arrest matters actually make there way into the public record. There is no such record.
That’s a bad sign. It means it wasn’t regular police, but was Men In Black.

Search for Teske yields zero results.
Time fo squash the rumor. As for its source: caveat emptor.

Or that Cael used the slush fund to have the record expunged

That can't be accurate. HR says coach was behind the entire thing to free up scholly money. Oh......who should I believe?? I am so flummoxed.
In a broader sense, these wrestlers are human, with all the trials and tribulations that go along with being 18-23 year olds. All, or almost all, will have things to work through, whether it's academics or wrestling stuff, social stuff, problems they created, or even being homesick. The adults in their lives will help them.
They're a member of the team until no longer on the roster.

Clearly they (MIB) have more time on their hands with Nolf’s graduation. BT not the alien Jason was...That’s a bad sign. It means it wasn’t regular police, but was Men In Black.

Don’t sweat it, NoVa. I’m pretty sure that taking pics and stuff with smartphones is a tech fad that’ll never catch on.
Willie said he had bad information regarding Brody. He's not leaving PSU.
Straight from the Gout man's mouth.
He also says he's not a 125er.
