    Brooks to PSU

    What exactly do you mean with “decimated by a crazy gambling scandal”? From my perch, Franek-Caliendo-Kennedy-Riggins is not much different from Siebrecht-Kennedy-Brands-Assad, and Cass would not make up the points needed to make the last two duals (and expected Nationals results) swing to an...

    A social experiment

    This is just a poll. Social experiments are much different.

    Okie St is undefeated and just soundly beat Mizzou ....

    That’s a whole lotta edging. I’m not sure what to think. 😳

    Penn State Dual

    Regarding the angst over the Cassar special . . . I don’t see it so much a story about beating a freshman phenom that was destined to be a future Olympic Champion (that’s the Hollywood aspect) as much as a story about a classic wrestler success story realting to the classic wrestler mentality...

    Anthony F enrolled?

    Well, it sounds like the precedent has certainly been set by others. I had forgotten about Suriano. Otherwise, my thought was “of course universities let revenue sports do it, but why bend standards for lowly wrestling?” Either way, I agree it is BS and makes yet another mockery of the “student...

    Anthony F enrolled?

    Presumably he is graduating before next season. So, you’re saying he can apply for, get admitted, and start grad school in spring semester so that he is enrolled in school, and then blow it off and just drop out as soon as the season is over? And get a huge $$$ payout in the meantime. I’ll be...

    Anthony F enrolled?

    Ha, not really. I have no emotional or other real interest in his decision. It should really be a nothingburger to both you and I.

    Good, enjoy yourself in that. But it is more than just plausible that RBY and Dean were emotionally ready to move on and felt pressure to stay that last year to help ensure another team title. Whether directly from teammates, coaches, fans — or just indirectly by perceiving others’ unspoken...

    He and Mike are diverting the western PA pipeline to Brown. 😉

    Yeah, unfortunately, they are kind of a team you go to see because some stars are in town (e.g., from Cornell, Princeton). I don’t feel good about myself for it, but it’s the truth.

    Nice! I actually have the ability to attend Brown duals — I’ll make it a goal to shout some “Grandpa Mikes” for you guys.

    I get why you would say that, especially since RBY was doing something similar (suggesting he would not be back for 2022-23). Starocci’s vibe seems different, though, and unlike RBY’s situation, Starocci could move on knowing the stable is loaded at his weight. No chance of a guilty conscience...

    That’s what I was thinking. If not, then nevermind what I said about 197/285. Having one of Caliendo, Kennedy, or Arnold sitting next year seems criminal, though. And I don’t see Caliendo or Kennedy as a 184. But if Arnold is top dog, he has the right to call his shot.

    Mich/PSU

    I wasn’t trying to make a case for Griffith beating Starocci. Rather, I was saying that you shouldn’t imply he is crazy for thinking he can, and that his performance against Bearclaw in no way illustrates his ceiling. He’s a damn good wrestler and former champ. He didn’t get there by saying “I...

    Mich/PSU

    Just about every wrestler that has even a hope of competing at this level thinks this way. And what you saw from Griffith last night is not “who he is”. Traditionally, as someone may have already noted, he peaks in March. Plus, Bearclaw may just be one of the most frustrating guys in the NCAA...

    Anthony F enrolled?

    Yeah, that seemed like an odd view. PSU can return the following AA-level candidates: Davis Nagao Bartlett Kasak Van Ness Haines Mesenbrink Facundo Kerkvliet Technically, they can return Starocci, but he has been pretty vocal that this will be his last season. Even if Bartlett and Kerk move on...

    Where are they?

    Is Ybarra still in the doghouse? Or injured? I see he’s still listed on the roster, and with all the hand-wringing over 133 results, I’m kind of surprised no one has even mentioned him as an option (as far as I’ve seen). I get it that depth at 125 is good insurance, but 133 is there for the...

    Brands interview

    Hey, good job. You had a chance to stop, take a breath, think, sleep on it, live your day, think some more . . . and voila, you decide to start up again. I wonder why that is?

    To show just how important the 2023 recruiting class is and producing similarly at least every other year:

    So, what you’re saying, is that steel makes better joints than aluminum?
