Robbie Howard out with injury, Gary Steen is Penn State's 125

[VakAttack]

Per Carl, per James R. Carlson, per Willie Saylor.  Not sure if it's the whole year or not.

shame Howard can't seem to stay healthy

[ionel]

When did Penn St last have a healthy top ten 125lber? 

But am assuming he is "drilling" as we speak.

Nope, he got hurt.  Technically just last year Hildebrandt was healthy, no?  Last elite level wrestler at 125 for Penn State who was also healthy would have to be Nico, I would guess.  It is a bit odd.

And if Steen gets injured?

He didn’t.

But he was their last, healthy top 10 125lb guy.

One could argue Hildebrandt but his ranking was based off of the prior year, not his results in 2022.

They don't qualify a 125lb wrestler for the NCAA tournament.

And very likely, still win the NCAA tournament.

Looks like he’s out for the year. Feel for the guy, this news is pretty sudden. I wonder what the injury is

[PortaJohn]

Unfortunately for Howard he's been plagued with the injury bug going all the way back to his High School days.

[1032004]

Any 125’s still in the portal?

[MadMardigain]

Maybe Penn St just like the challenge of trying to win it with 9 legit weights and some random guy.

One of these days Cael's inability to get a 125lbers to NCAAs is gonna turn around and bite him. THERE ARE TEN WEIGHTS GUYS!

[AnklePicker]

Has it always been shoulders with Howard?  Feel for the kid. 

[headshuck]

It’s always shoulders with 125 going back 20 years.

Ok.  So there is a TBar impersonator.  TBar would never say anything negative about Cael’s management.

Robles was a 125 but his shoulders were those of a 149er.

Carl met a professor at PSU teaching a weird offshoot of common core math. It's a really weird concept where the premise is that 5 champs is worth more points than 10 qualifiers. I don't understand it either and when I tried to help my kid with his homework the teacher gave me an F

 

Also, Carl has a really good 125. He just happened to exhaust his NCAA eligibility at Iowa.
