So true, need him feeling good at whatever weight because he’s dynamic and entertaining to watch. Not saying the others aren’t.
Parco
- Thread starter GableBeer
- Start date
He didn’t look like he had 8 pounds of fat on him to loose. M star looked better at Iowa after he jumped up a weight, as have many others.
I agree it's better to jump a weight than drop.
Then I'll say it, the others aren't dynamic or fun to watch.
Perhaps Cobe can jump levels and Gabe cracks the lineup, then perhaps we can add those two to the "F*n List"
*Edit* I hope Parco can also slot into this. I'm excited to see what he can do.

This is outstanding news and great job by the staff for making this happen!
If I was Mikey and 57 was easy I’d go whatever weight Mitchell does not
He’s a proven AA. Something those mid weights are struggling to do. Upgrade all around. If it means someone’s gonna move up, well that’s just more competition at the next weight. Best guy wrestles.
Unless he actually does fit that weight.
How likely is it Cass gets to come back? I’d pencil in Kueter until the Cassioppi news is broke.
Parco? Blocks gonna be a redshirt freshman a year removed from a knee injury and 0 mat time. Parco is a solid AA.
let me preface this by saying it all might be a moot point if ryder can make 141 but the chatter is he may not be able to. if he can’t make it, then a solid aa doesn’t move the needle when the gap is so wide.
they need to recruit and develop guys who can compete for 4 years. ryder is a top 25 recruit. if you don’t even give him a chance to win the job instead of wasting resources on a 1 year rental then what is the point in even recruiting him?
I am hoping Cass gets to come back. I think Hawk fans would like to see him wrestle in Carver one more year. Keuter should fill the spot well, if we don’t see Big Tony.
He’s a proven commodity. The best part is he’s only a one year rental. I hope block lights the world on fire but he hasn’t competed so he can still develop.
i would love to be wrong about it but it’s just my initial reaction. i’m sure it will work itself out in the long run
Parco is a stud 3X AA (8th, 4th and 5th) He notably beat our own Max Murin in 2023 and beat number 1 seed Ridge Lovett. He finished 29-7 last season.

I get it. But Block is a ? Coming off redshirt and injury. Maybe he doesn’t get in and gets a medical to keep 4 years. They’re like candy.
I wonder if Estrada is going to certify at 141 for depth. Also, possibly Kale Petersen grows into 141 for much needed depth. Hopefully Block can make the cut but if not those 2 seem like our best options.
Any word on Cannon in the portal? I assumed he’d be Rutgers but he could possibly compete at 141 for us as well.
KP had a late season knee injury. Not sure how much we can expect from him at 33 or 41.
That is one massive hole we have brewing at 41 if we don't get Alirez.
Wish I was as confident as you COBE and Zach are AA. I bought into Zach being sure mid to low AA last year, won’t be fooled twice. I’m not even convinced COBE will be in the lineup.
So no one thinks Kennedy can best Arnold? I actually do.
Hate to say it because I'm a huge PK fan, but my man has had his opportunities, despite the injury bug. Hope he can break into the lineup and finally AA but I'd rather keep a rocking Caliendo vice a shrunken version just to get PK in the lineup. If a lighter Caliendo is just as good then I'm up for whatever...
Concur, there wasn't much about our team that was fun to watch last year. Even the wins weren't all that fun to watch because most were nailbiters with almost no offense. Ugh!
When in doubt about what to say and not look pathetic and intellectually limited, just go for it. Pathetic and intellectually limited. Well done!
you think he is going to beat out Gabe?? Go back to your own board
Maybe 1 out 3 at best. With another year in the room the gap will widen as Arnold's ceiling is simply higher than PKs due to his strength and athleticism. And I really like Kennedy but this is how it goes if you want to compete for championships.
Why worry about PK?
In reality, he's the weak link. Hopefully he finds a home.
This is the PSU way on a much smaller scale. For a long time I was a big get PK into the lineup guy because I still had hope he was that top 5 pfp guy we were so excited about. But after 4 years in the room, is he really going to make a significant jump? If Anthony F joins the team and looks even better at 157, probably his ideal weight, do want PK in the lineup still instead of getting a younger guy like him with a higher ceiling some experience for the future? Best we can hope for next year is 2nd, so I go with the younger guys if I thinks they can also get us there.
If the rumored Haines/Mesenbrink swap is happening, I really want Caliendo at 165. I think he can hang with Haines.
I wonder how big Caliendo really is. He's always had Franek below him at 157. Maybe he's a career 157 at a different school?
