I have to disagree with you here. Many have won with no ACLs? Nobody other than Spencer has won with no ACLs (that I'm aware of) and only Nolf and Yanni that I can recall anytime recently have won even 1 title missing one. The only year Spencer lost was with two functional ACLs ironically enough. Now on the other hand, many have competed with one bad ACL and almost all came up quite short. Not confronting you here, just saying winning while seriously injured is absolutely not common.
Star injured???

It's telling how he seems to be going out of his way to lessen Spencer's accomplishments. Acting like Hawkeye fans are the only ones that had concerns with Zane being the guy. Poll the country and see who the majority would go with. Zane may not make the top 10.
I think west2east source is probably the same person who gave him the incorrect weight certifications. He may want to back off a little on his "facts".
What are we supposed to with this information
Obviously, it’s to make people guess what it means for the next 26 hours
Looks like a smile to me. I'm thinking healthy as a horse and ready to rock and roll. Let the games begin!
Spencer was so healthy the only he could make weight, was by not eating. It was also obvious he didn’t have the gas tank he needed. Why? Because his knees wouldn’t allow him to get the right cardio workouts. Re-think your statement.
No, I am not making excuses for Spencer.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why he wasn’t in prime wrestling shape.
That’s he’s in the room drilling.
You had to be on dope or blind to think he was 100% last year. Having his knees repaired and his knees being 100% recovered are not the same thing. Not to mention him being unable to train properly. Sure he was able to still win a lot but it was blatantly obvious he was lacking strength and maneuverability in his lower body.
You literally made 3 excuses for him and then said you’re not making excuses for him. 😂. Spencer had a great career but it’s time to move on.
It would be time for you to move on, troll.
Actually… As far as we know from that video, he’s only in the room sitting and watching.
Let’s hope he wrestles this year. I’d hate for folks to get strung along through B1G, up to the NCAA tournament & then see PSU MFF to start the event similar to 2017.
It would be sad to see some other hardworking athlete, deprived of a chance of a lifetime to wrestle in the NCAA tournament.

Brooks and Truex are both done. Starocci, Bartlett and Kerkvliet can all come back for their free year. Kerkvliet took part in senior ceremonies and Bartlett did not, but that doesn't mean anything.
According to dicemen99's eligibility spreadsheet, Brooks & Truax (and backups Ball & Heard) are out of eligibility this year. Kerkvliet, Starocci, and Bartlett have the extra Covid year if they want it.
How many wrestlers does PS have in their room? Men that are eligible to wrestle if needed? Is there any limits like football and basketball?
Why would you want to go there and know you’ll never wrestle but will be able to say they were on a National Championship team?
Football QB are smarter than that. They will sit one year and then go somewhere they can play!!!

Penn State has been crowded in past years, with guys accepting backup roles when they could have possibly been All-Americans at other schools. However, the group that is coming is going to take it to another level. There just isn't room for all of them. That fact, plus the transfer portal and NIL money will change things. There will definitely be guys who are squeezed out of the lineup who transfer to other schools. It is a good problem to have, but, it is unavoidable.
Sure sounds like it, unless he's just screwing with everyone....which would be odd in this case.
Let the bidding begin…. Dresser will be first in line and I don’t think Cael will be interested in a bidding war.
Doesn’t have to. They don’t need him and he can get more elsewhere. Or, he could just want to be done with school and go off to the UFC. Or, he’s just not getting any attention or is f-ing off on Twitter.
For as much shit as PK has taken this year, if Carter and Shane can't go or are limited severely in two weeks, a healthy PK can absolutely make the finals at 174. Yep, the guy who couldn't win 165 could be a 174 finalist.
word on bwi is he wanted to wrestle and Cael said no and he’s pissed. rumors swirling about him leaving maryland too.
Without Carter and Griffith, you can make an argument Kennedy becomes a finalist favorite.
I’ve heard for couple years it ain’t the smoothest relationship there…. I think he was gone either way.
This dude is such an attention whore. I fully expect him to wrestle and win his fourth in two weeks.
He'll be at NCAAs. I hope he loses there to Lewis, Griffith or Kennedy, but he'll be there and probably win. He's just trolling everyone to keep them talking.
Right on cue, Gobblin swoops in after the story unfolds. 🤣
Not only do the Iowa coaches call him when a Hawkeye is MIA, but apparently the PSU coaches have him on speed dial, too.
My guess is that he’s just screwing with everyone. That way when he wins it all he thinks it will make him appear superhuman. No way Carl let him go out there yesterday if he didn’t think he could wrestle in two weeks.
The ego makes me believe he will be out there, even if it’s in spite of Carl
ok so this is real. i kind of assumed it was another one of the troll things but i guess not
