  1. could be revenue driven. Cornell might demand a home and home. Have no data but guessing the gate at Cornell home duals are disproportionate - and probably less than Lehigh at Stabler.
  2. I was actually kidding as that resume is off the charts in achievements that illustrate his readiness for high level NCAA accomplishment.
  3. You are wrong and your ego is in the way of clear thinking. NIL existed back then but the NCAA rules (that unlawfully and unethically) prevented athletes from profiting from their own names, images, amnd likenesses. No defensible analysis of the morality of recruiting parctices and culture from that era can ignore this sad reality from the past. Universities and their governing body were oppressing the athletes and essentially misappropriating the individual athlete's rights to monetize their own individual name, image, and likeness.
  4. ok - so he has had some early luck past results are no gaurantee of future performance
  5. Disagree. The ethical duties and code of morality you sugguest are hard to reconcile with ethics and lawful right to harvest and maximize individial NIL opportunities/rights. Athletes having the freedom to profit from their own NIL - this has its own ethics as well as legal protections. These rights tend to Trump NCAA rules and the NCAA recruiting code of the hills you urge as "moral standards." Not much moral to me from the old system where the schools got all of the benefits and Athlete4s essentially lost their own NIL opportunities.
  6. As Big Red noted, Ivies do not particpate in national letter of intent and so have no NCAA barrier to lock away athletes based on that commitment.
  7. ok - but not all. For example, Carter Starocci, Ferrari, Suriano and many others appear to have maintained their own unique styles of communication.
  8. Did Bill compete back in the day?
  9. It is a very pretty campus. Could be like a remake of Risky Business with Bo as Joel and they could film the whole four or five years for streaming and NIL $$ to the Bassets. I like it!
  10. I think Facundo beat Haines (freestyle) and F may not be thinking that he will not win a spot in the PSU lineup from his time in the room. Kasak redshirt may be as likely as other redshirt scenarios. No disrespect to Kasak who was excellent and was big time in the consi bracket at NCAAs. No doubt K and F are ready for prime time.
  11. Yup - there is a chance!
  12. With those splits, I think he has to be top 10!
  13. who is at 141 and 149 after this year? Isn't BB done and VanNess pushing 157?
  14. Lilledahl gets all the breaks.
  15. Did I miss that Keck is out of eligibility or redshirting? Didn't Keck handle Plott?
  16. 125: Howard (Lilledahl RS) 133: Nagao (Davis RS) 141: Bartlett 149: SVN (Kasak RS) 157: Facundo 165: Messenbrink 174: Haines 184: CStar 197: Barr Hwt: Kerk This lineup could score some points at NCAA's!
  17. Not that I don't love your energy on here, but not sure there is connection in that the All Star classic is an "exhibition," no? Do not think it counts as an NCAA match - if memory serves. I've been hit in the head once too many and it may not.
  18. Vito!
  19. PSU roster for this year not yet posted. Rob Howard was listed as a shophmore last year. Is he still on the team?
  20. The Board of DireCtors of Wrestling Logic has approved this analysis!
  21. Zach Glazier won me over and I hope he whupps his Iowa opponents next year.
  22. Folkstyle Wrestling is Superior - you are correct sir! Not that close.
  23. RTC depth, strength, and success will wax and wane. But isn't the bigger issue for success at the NCAA level going forward relative NIL war chests for recruits and transfers? Not saying RTC does not matter, but RTC are becoming a secondary consideration to NIL. Just a guess of the direction and likely destination in the next 5 to 10 years - I have no actual knowledge how its going other than PSU has been killing it at NCAAs.
