I don't think he's important enough to PSU to be scolded.

I mean obviously it wasn’t someone from the staff, but my guess is he gets some of his info from the wrestlers themselves or parents that talk too much.

I believe I saw someone mentioned an interview where Cody Sanderson said “there were no wrestleoffs,” but that could be just semantics in that they didn’t call it a wrestleoff.

Minnow’s posts definitely deserve skepticism and he often doesn’t have the full story, but I do feel like most of the time when he is wrong is when he does the “I’m hearing” thing.  He seemed pretty definitive in the comments about the wrestleoffs.

He may have access to some loose-lipped parents.  We know that there was a similar situation over at Iowa.  I do think that the guppy gets a lot of info just from perusal of message boards.

I agree he does that too, don’t believe it was the case here.  I do see a thread on BWI or whatever they’re calling it these days about “wrestleoff rumors,” not sure but it appears to be based off Minnow’s tweet(s).  He actually posted in the thread saying Beau Bartlett supposedly asked him to take them down

Didn't he break the news of Bartlett's signing with PSU before it was common knowledge.  Wasn't BB committed to Princeton at the time?  Or am I thinking of someone else?

Don’t remember, you may be right, I know he had done that with a couple commitments I believe, although I also think he has since stopped for the most part

I'm kinda thinking that he really can't do it anymore after last week!
