Penn State's next two recruiting classes are crazy loaded.

[Threadkilla]

With 2024 Luke Lilledahl, Zack Ryder, Joseph Sealey, Connor Mirasola, Mason Gibson. and Cole Mirasola. 

and 2025  Will Henckel. PJ Duke, Dalton Perry, Asher Cunningham, and Nate Desmond.  

 There are absolute hammers in this group. Can't wait to see PJ Duke at the next level.  his style reminds me of Kolat.

Not everyone will make this team, period.

I assume there will be a gray shirt or two in there. Some kids going to the OTC.

It would be wild if a guy like Haines or SVN got bumped out of the lineup at some point.

It's looking like a logjam from 157-184.

Super classes.  But is there a 125 in there somewhere?

I think Braeden Davis is going to be really solid at 125.  I think he's top 15 or better this year as a true freshman.   4x Michigan Champ. A top 40 recruit.

I don’t see Penn St. losing in the next four or five years. So much talent currently and incoming.

Desmond and Asher Cunningham (Caseys kid) just won powerade.

As my cousin’s Italian/Portuguese-American grandmother Loretta used to say, Asher Cunningham has *grinta*.

I'm pretty sure that all of the PSU recruits with the exception of Gibson 4th and Dalton Perry 2nd, won their post season tournament.

I don’t know why anyone thinks Haines will get bumped out. Undefeated and an absolute hammer for the last month. Reminds me of Retherford and Lee.

Yes the similarities are obvious.

I'm glad Cael will finally have talented wrestlers to work with, unlike the putzes he's had up to this point.

Lilledahl been wrestling senior level this year, and that isn't h.s. seniors it's senior freestyle. He will come in hot and ready.

He'll be more than ready if they send him at 125; he beat Brandon Courtney recently. Whoever loses between him and Davis will RS, and the winner will be a very likely AA threat.

A year from now they might be title threats. There seems to be a precedent at PSU.

Yes.  Going to be very tough to beat, perhaps even tougher than currently.  Some of those guys will never wrestle in the post-season.  Going to be interesting to see if they get them all to stick around.

Davis is obviously a title threat now.  If he wins today he should be a top 3 seed.  With an argument for top seed.  If he loses hes top 5.

I heard Davis only weighs 110 lbs and they can't get weight on him.  Any truth to it?

He wrestled 120 as a junior and 126 as a senior.

At the very beginning of the season he certified between 125 and 133.

I think Davis  should be the top seed at NATS.
