With Assad to Iowa ...

Great get for the Hawks! Future is bright!
But Wildthing, how are you going to afford all those out-of-state studs who are good enough to demand full rides. We all know kids never look at the school, the program it is always about the best deal.

Just say congrats man. Filter out all the BS and call a spade a spade. I have done that many times here
 
With every new stud they get, the hysterical conspiracy crowd on HR look more foolish by the day. Fast forward a few years to when if they don't win a championship, they will spew a different kind of hysteria. It should be a fun ride. I think Cael manages an every other year heavy recruiting class strategy. I am really looking forward to next year's class, and optimistically I think we get at least 3 from the Howard, Bartlett, Hilgass, Lee, Ferrari crowd. That combined with our last class and grey shirts looks just plain scary.

HR is just a random anonymous message board Goggles. Same as here. The wrestling message board contingent represents a small number of the actual fanbase. Remember that!
 
Nice get by Hawks. He was ranked #11 for the class of 2019. PSU is in on #2 Kerkvliet, #4 Kharchla, and #9 Anderson. Already have #3 Busiello in the fold.

Ive been hearing Lehigh for Anderson but my contacts are wrong a lot, so that’s good news
 
I heard the Brand's bought 1/2 dozen dodgeballs and after every Friday practice they watch a Three Stooges marathon. Anyone who doesn't laugh has to do 20 minutes of monkeys. I think we are in trouble now.

Looking through neutral glasses, I think the style and personality of Anderson are a much better fit at PSU. A lot of programs could suck all the f*$ out of that kid.

Kid is certainly a bull, never backing up, heavy hands. Carson Manville almost stacked him, but otherwise he dominated last year. He’s a Jersey kid training with a Lehigh dominant Club
 
PSU being in on Anderson is kinda surprising. He's a great talent fit and possibly the best attitude fit ever (which is saying something).

The problem is the immense talent overlap at his likely weights.

Last I had heard, he was looking at NC State, Iowa State, and Cruiseliner U. (Can't imagine a worse attitude fit than Anderson at Fight Club.) Though more schools (esp Lehigh with proximity and contacts) shouldn't be a surprise.

Of all the other schools, I'd like to see him at NC State. I think Pop wouldn't rein him in too much. But I agree with the "best attitude fit ever". PSU and Anderson would be such a great synergistic match.

Wonder what Gable thinks of that word, almost.
Doubt he'd like that word because it implies less than championship expectations.

But he's smart enough to recognize how Cael disrupted the sport. And Iowa's recruiting has improved lately.
