Interview with Carter Happel

[MitchL]

MitchL, I'm starting to dislike you! I have never posted on that class, what they have done or didn't do on any board. Also grouping me with Amalone is almost fighting words in my book. I even went on the PSU board and defended Iowa when Amalone was running his mouth like he usually does. Rookie get your facts correct when you use my name

You should forever be in my debt. Don't know how long you've been around, but back in 2012 I had a personal wager on your forums with a guy called "AlphaPoke". The bet was regarding political predictions and if I won he agreed to cease posting on the wrestling forums for a year. He lost and I think he disappeared forever. He was an obnoxious douche.
So... you're welcome. And sorry if I grouped you with that Ped State guy. I guess no one wants to be associated with that. Maybe I got you mixed up with one of your other screen names.

I think it was PapaBear (who obviously has decent insight into Illinois High School wrestling) posted that Turk moved up to 145 to make room for Dylan Duncan. Turk looks like a 141 as does Happel. I don't see either one of them as an option at 133. Also everything that I've read indicates that Brandon is a career 149. He looks perfect for the weight. He looks strong, quick and not at all sucked up. Kemmerer's frame looks like he could hold 157 well. I like Turk/Happel at 141. Then Brandon at 149 and Kemmerer 157. Solid.

Close.
Turk did make a move up for the team. As did Duncan. They accommodated 2 other wrestlers with 1 of the beneficiaries becoming a state finalist. Turk moved from 138 to 145 and Duncan from 126 to 132. As good as Turk is, I think Duncan (probably career 133) will be a higher regarded prospect when he graduates next year.

OK, Papa. Send Duncan on over, too. We'll sign him up.

Yes. Mike is a good guy. Amaloonie is a fulltime DB. Other than that their similar.

I'll agree with that statement!

Hey, don't run Mike off. I need someone to rib. Actually Mike is a welcomed poster.
