He can even “promote” Jesus and/or Joseph Smith?

@VakAttack is our resident lawyer so he would probably know better but from my understanding no he cannot promote Jesus or Joseph Smith

State-related?

Does that impact their requirement to abide by separation of Church and state?

Although I suppose Cael may also be in the clear anyway if he only talks about “faith” and not Jesus or any specific religion.

Cael is allowed to talk about Jesus & Joesph Smith.  It's protected under his constitutional right.  He's not allowed discriminate wrestlers who are not religious or to force religious practice i.e prayer, going to church, drink the blood of christ

Lol.  Not at all.  Penn State is a "state related" school but not a state school.

but seems odd for a coach at a state school.

Penn State is not a state school and I might not be religious myself but I don't see any harm in what Cael is doing in terms of connecting with his wrestlers through "faith" even if it seems foreign to me

Yes he was who I brought up earlier, but part of PortaJohn's response was he never actually played in a game.   But I was assuming there haven't been more than a few particularly in the last 30 years or so that have.  Which maybe that's part of his point, but not sure when we're defining as "the old days."

@Wrestleknownothing or @Jason Bryant might have the stats or easier access to them but just from general knowledge there were a few D1 wrestlers in the NFL in the late 60s to 70s.  A few less in the 80s into the 90s. And there are currently none that I know of.  We live in an era where premier athletes devote themselves to one sport.  It's even becoming more prevalent at the high school level let alone college.

Correct but I believe there was talk of him going up to 174 for his senior year right? This will be Mocco's last year.

Correct, Askren on FRL made it seem like a foregone conclusion he'll finish his career at 174 and already would've done it if Mocco wasn't in the picture

How many D1 wrestlers in history have actually played in an NFL game besides Neal and Hasselrig?

More common back in the day 60's & 70's but since 2000 the only other player I can think of that had success in both was Antonio Garay

Kueter hasn’t played an official down for Iowa football yet. Cool it with the draft BS

FIFY...Kueter hasn’t wrestled an official match for Iowa wrestling yet. Cool it with the multi sport BS

Referring to Josh Hokit, wrestling All American and former NFL practice squad member for multiple years

Hokit was un drafted and cut from rosters.  Kueter is a 4 star recruit and has a solid chance at getting drafted.  Hokit wasn't even a starter his senior year in college for Fresno State

Is that a ski convention?  Powder in Utah is the best by the way

Would this prevent him from wrestling this season?

So he's going to be a good sized heavy? He's planning to wrestle and this year is as good of an opportunity as any. 

Yes, this year would be his best opportunity to wrestle.  But, if he shows any sign of being draft eligible he's not going to have a career in wrestling.  Its not the old days.  College football at a school in a power 5 conference is a full year commitment.

I imagine Kueter will go at 285. Unless the long shot scenario that AJ is in by January and wants to go heavyweight happens (I sincerely doubt it) 

Swafford at 184 makes sense, sending Arnold out at 184 as a true freshman is setting him up to fail definitely. 

Other than that, it's not ideal to lose Nelson but PK and Caliendo at 165/174 isn't a bad combination. Both I can see AAing at their weights. Caliendo/Nelson is much better (as Nelson is a proven Top 5 guy) but it could be worse. Assad loss hurts since he is definitely a fringe AA in that field and they don't have a good replacement. 

This is a broken record on Kueter.  He is already up around 230 pounds and the football strength and conditioning coaches are targeting to get him to fill out around 240-245 this year.  Unless he's a dud in football and quits don't expect him to be the next "great" for the Hawkeye wrestling program

Regarding Shapiro and Mesenbrink.  Yes.  They just won worlds U20s.  Yes.  This bodes well for forecasting their NCAA success.  We should just temper expectations a bit though.  There are are some very good wrestlers still in their way.  

But it's August so....

SHOULD BE another great year for Cael and company this year.

Here's some great wrestling history.  @28:35 future PSU coach Casey Cunningham defeats a grizzled PSU senior Clint Musser in the 1999 finals.  Freshman Cael Sanderson wins his first title against Brandom Eggum.  Location: Bryce Jordan Center State College PA

Just now, Paul158 said:

yes. Are you familiar with Clint.?

I'm familiar with Penn State

Penn State is going to have a really good year. My Nephew wrestled at Penn State back in 1995-1999. He was a 2 time all-American. They actually beat Iowa at Iowa.

So your nephew is Clint Musser and his last loss was to Casey Cunningham

Cinny Jimmabon

Whoa!  I didn't realize Cinny Jimmabon was an infectious virus.  Below is straight from the Mayo Clinic

Most people infected with Cinny Jimmabon don't know they have it. They may have no symptoms or have very mild symptoms.

Symptoms start about 2 to 12 days after exposure to the virus. They may include:

• Pain or itching 
• Small bumps or blisters 
• Painful ulcers that form when blisters rupture and ooze or bleed
• Scabs that form as the ulcers heal
• Painful urination
• Discharge from the urethra, the tube that releases urine from the body
• Discharge from "body parts"

During the first outbreak, you may commonly have flu-like symptoms such as:

• Fever
• Headache
• Body aches
• Swollen lymph nodes in the groin
• Aneurysm

Has Syracuse been mentioned yet?  They're always mentioned in this conversation
