How big of a commit is PJ Duke?  Any comparisons to current wrestlers?

I believe he has a win over Stevo Poulin if I’m not mistaken

I am too new a fan to know the answer, but did Iowa ever have a recruiting run like this under Gable?

Gable had some pretty good pickings in Iowa, plus he was able to develop raw talent like no other.

NCAA should have rules about this.

If you name is the same as a University you have to go there.

Basically Cornella did.

But if he went to https://pjuniversity.org/ there's no wrestling there!

That was his breakout win, at least the one I remember.

or JMU should be forced to re-start their program and PJ can wrestle for the Dukes.

I would absolutely love that!  They have plenty of my money, the least they could do would be to re-start the wrestling program.

And if you have an arena name you should only be allowed to wrestling in said arena, eg Gallagher. 

Clearly Paddy was as confused as MP, he thought he committed to OSU.

Wow, how insightful.  

That's a nice tool all Nittany Lion fans can use throughout different areas of their lives.  Rather than coming up with any thoughts of your own, just say "I'm quite confident that Cael and company will have a plan."

I managed to get the secret plans of Cael and some other coaches from Spencer Lee's dad-saved from his recruiting trips. 

Cael's Plan:  Get the best wrestlers on your team. 

Ryan's: Only practice neutral. No mat wrestling

Smith's plan: Driver's ed assistant coach

Koll's Plan:  Bigger house

Ayre's Plan: Smaller house

Brands' plan: Draftkings NIL sponsorship for transfers

I wonder if this still remains fun for normal Penn State fans.  Not the winning titles on the mat, I'm sure that's great but just how often top recruits pick them.  At some point does it become old hat?  We've never seen anything like this.

Should I ever run across a normal Penn State fan I will ask

Don't forget the "Iowa the was the only program that Spencer was recruited by that didn't trash the others."

Rarer than Normal is finding a Penn State fan pre Cal they really didn't exist on message boards back then.

What is this pre-Cael concept you speak of?

My quick google search wasn’t very successful.  How has PJ done in the big freestyle tournaments?  Fargo?  Made a world team?

You have to lool small.  He was 113 just a couple years ago, I believe.  Lost to someone like Lilledahl or Kilkeary at S32s.

My favorite relative of his, George Duke.

I'm more amazed that the guy named after Dan Gable didn't wrestle for Iowa and the guy named after Cael Sanderson isn't going to wrestle for PSU.
