Let's see, When was the last time the ACC got 2 huge recruits out of PA. And how many NCAA titles did they win. And how many times was the school on the podium? Does anybody need a hint?
I can see not going to Iowa, because nobody has gotten any better there in recent memory. But I think the reason they bypassed PSU and Ok State was simply because they wanted to be the only ones in the room with the spotlight on them. That wasn't going to happen at Penn State or Oklahoma State.
Haines was a lot smaller than Hamiti, and about the same size as KOT. He struggled to make 157 last year. I’ll bet he didn’t have to cut much to make 174. And I don’t see any acne on Haines.
Admit I am prejudiced, but caliendo didn’t take a shot for the first 6 minutes of the big 10 championship, or for the first 6 minutes tonite. And no stalling calls either time.
Tell me know one can see 184 being decided by a riding time decision in OT. That will really draw in the casual fan, not to mention some derisive comment by 47.
I guess I would be real surprised if the penn state kids did not go into Philly with realistic expectations. All 10 could win, but they know they are seeded 3, or 4, or 8 for a reason
