My point was never about what room a wrestler came from. Check the title of the thread... “Recruiting vs PSU.” My point is if you’re a kid that has been told all his life he could be a champion, he wants to go where the champions are. That’s current PSU, regardless of weight.
Huh.... I could have sworn that the Hawkeyes were the current champions.
I have to be honest. PA makes no sense to me. How/why their HS Wrestling is so great is a bit of a mystery. 1st off, you do not seem to have the right kind of people in the state. 2nd, their knowledge and understanding of the sport just seems to be very low as a whole.
Maybe it is just to much of a sample out of the fools who come on here? The state though, just seems to be overrun with corruption, and those living a lie!
I mean they just keep saying the same stupid crap!!!! IOWA was on a 3 year run before the f*** dodge ball bael teams run. Why weren't ALL the recruits beating down our door? If you look back at history. you can see many teams that went on a run, but never a line of top talent coming in like we are seeing at happy place. We are on another run now. 2 years of domination, and will be ranked #1. When should we expect ALL the top talent to come?
More than likely, it had to do with common sense. Top recruits and all others look for the best opportunity and offer.
The team
The coaches
The School
Cost
Location
Program or field of study
etc, all play a role.
Obviously if one school can offer more then all others, the field tilts in that direction. 660K "camp expenses" seems to indicate that is certainly what is taking place, because you would think that part of the reason to run camps is to MAKE $$$$$. Why anyone would run camps and have to dip into their slush fund for $660,000, just does not seem to make much sense? What happened to all the money they took in on top of this amount that they took out?
So once again, PA/F*** state wanna be wrestling fans etc.... Just be honest and say. The great saelsman, found a way to beat the system. So far, no one has said what is going on is illegal.
As far as champions. Someone posted they, the bad guys, had 10 age group national or world champions in just the last handful of years. Not sure how many they have had in the kael era? Lets just say 15? Now out of that, how many went on to win world/olympic titles again? Not too sure that if I "wanted to win" that these numbers and odds make me say. "Yep, i'll give up $100,000s to play dodge ball with you!?!?!?
