Best Case Line-Up

Outsider spin: I think Brands’ crafty experience wins him whatever weight he wants, beating either Arnold at 74 or Angelo at 84. If it’s 74, I’d call 84 a tossup between the A’s, unless Angelo sees the wisdom and wealth of redshirting. Stunned to say I believe Kennedy sits.
Disclaimer: Last preseason, I predicted Shapiro winning the 57 NC as a true freshman, so there’s that.

I think Nelson will win either weight, but I’d love to see a match between Gabe and Angelo, both are very hard to score on and funky wrestlers. I personally think Angelo would win.

The thought of Shapiro winning a title wasn’t crazy at all. He lost by a point in the quarters and beat the same guy for 3rd 10-4.
 
And so do recruits. And for people who say that a recruit would never be swayed by the rhetoric on a message forum, I think you’re wrong. These kids have a lot to juggle and will inevitably hit a snag or two in their careers. They would rather go where the community supports them through ups and downs.

Support meaning 15k fans in the stands or some critical posts on the most frequented wrestling discussion board for any college? Most schools don’t even have a dedicated online wrestling board much less being capable of putting 1,000 butts in seats. If this board is the deciding factor then the coaches don’t deserve to be in their positions.

If that’s your reasoning then we should be landing every recruit we are interested in.

Well, we can’t get them all. But don’t blame fans on message boards for lack of recruiting success by staff.
Especially when the posters are anonymous and full of trolling

A guy like @vhsalum tells everyone he wrestled for Iowa with Metcalf and JayBo. Most "believed" him until he was called out as a liar shortly after.

Message Boards should never be connected with a recruit. There were 40+ Penn State fans on here voting in a a poll recently. How many posters here are REALLY Hawkeye fans? Not as many as you think

@vhsalum is a better wrestling poster than most everyone who posts in forums. Whether he lied or not about his past is immaterial to that fact.

Hmmm? Not sure I agree with you here. This wasn't exactly a lttle white lie or exaggerting upon a simple accomplishment. Hard to trust the source. But then again, if you are someone who relies on a message board for reliable information then you better get used to being disappointed.

Or course a PSU fan is going to like him because he often sticks it to Iowa whenever possible. Truth is, if he were spreading rumors about PSU guys, how much they are getting paid (how come nobody ever talks about that), and then claimed to have wrestled with DT and Ed, he would be booted from BWI the day it happened. You know this is true.

You guys really are going to clutch your pearls on this one, huh? Also the truth is a bit funnier than you realize. but i digress.

The fact remains that vhsalum is a good poster in all forums. I understand why you are killing him, but at some point it becomes juvenile. Either get over it or become part of the problem. This is why this forum can't have nice things.
 
Not that this site is a bastion of honor, but yes it does change things.
No it doesn't. If he had never said anything about his past, you'd soak up whatever he said and moved on. Be honest with yourself. Whoever he is has no impact on the information he provides. This is all on you and everyone who thinks like you. You are choosing to discount his words despite the fact that he has provided valuable info to this forum. That's silly.
 
He’s not the first person to get caught lying on the internets but when your whole shtick is “trust me bro,” it does change things.
I get it. Lying about the level of team interaction is a big deal, but does he have to be killed over it? Can everyone just acknowledge his sin and remember it as he continues to contribute to this forum? That's my question.

IT completely undermines his credibility on everythign he has posted. He has had an agenda against TnT and tried to pretend he had inside information as to why.

Everything he has said in the past can be taken with a grain of salt - but yeah great poster

The ultimate gaslighting. Rabid fans bitch on message board because our coaches are getting out coached and to a greater degree outrecruited. Random poster blames fans for not getting recruits because fans are frustrated on message boards.

Let me guess, our offense in football was terrible last year because of fans complaining? We can’t recruit receivers because of fans bitching about offense?

Maybe if you would have said it this way first?

Your investment in his forgiveness on this board is creepy. Why would any poster care about another so much?
