Penn State Roster

[neweruser69]

They ever going to post their 2026-2027 Roster or is there some kind of secret here? Seems like every other major team has updated. 

Also looks like Mendez IS on the OSU 2026-2027 roster @ 149 which is...interesting.

Off topic of the post, but I feel like going out on that loss didn't tarnish his legacy...  one of the best to do it. 
Coming back, up a weight, or struggling to compete with Bassett (who knows if that would happen) seems like it would change the perception of him, maybe not, maybe just to me.... I'm sure there's financial incentive but I feel like he left college with his "legendary" status intact.... but what do I know. Throw another hammer in at 41 or 49... definitely makes March more interesting

It's been Penn State's policy the last 4-5 years not to release their roster until their first date of competition, not the first date of NCAA competition.

He's also been dealing with an injury from what I was told. But if I knew anything I'd be rich.

I'm sure he wants another crack at Vega.

Why is it when I looked at this I saw Penn St Rooster er chicken?  Maybe its all the double letter problems we've been having on the board or the fall schedule.

Blaze or Davino or Forrest, somebody needs to bump, I feel like they all have Olympic aspirations, wonder if we will see them all go up after this season (or you think Davino can make 57kg?)
I expected somebody to do it now, and I really expected that somebody to be Blaze...  

133- Ono/Desmond 
141- Blaze

Just seems like it benefits everyone

I have no insider info, just feels like 57kg would be a hell of a cut for Davino, but maybe I am wrong. He would be a monster down another weight class

Yet Davino is the only one to confirm what weight he is going, and that weight is 57 KG.

I can't wait to find out Davino was up a weight to make room for Bouzakis....

It’s super common for non Mormons to take a year off school for a “religious mission” right ?   Especially without their twin brother right?

[Gene Mills Fan]

Is this a way to get the rest year when its not your first year? this is too blatantly obvious.

 

Military Service, Religious Missions and Similar Service Commitments

Time spent in active-duty military service, on an official religious mission or in a similar service commitment may be excluded from the five-year period if the student-athlete does not participate in organized competition during that service.

Carl had to pull that one from deep in the playbook.

Religious mission lol. What a joke.

[1032004]

I’m sure Cole’s religious mission will unexpectedly come to an end if Connor gets hurt. Will they still be allowed to practice with NLWC?

I know for BYU, Utah, etc. there can't be any athletic competition or training at all during their missions for it to be a valid NCAA exception.  If a BYU basketball player even picks up a basketball and shoots in their driveway, that burns the year.

Those are LDS rules not NCAA rules.   These two aren’t lds they’re Catholic.

one of them took 8th grade twice already too

At least Brock Hardy and Mike "missionary is the only Christian position" Brown had the conviction to commit to their missions before stepping foot on campus. Now you can have athletes announce an eligibility preserving mission in the middle of the semester? How is this not a scam?
