BaldAt23 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It seems like all Penn state wrestlers talk about how much faith all the members of the team have.

jchapman Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Carl recruited Andrew Long twice, so I’d say anything goes at Penn State. Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul158 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Isn't it nice for a change to hear about young men who are hard working, very dedicated student athletes.
