I agree with the first part -- that he needs to step away and work it out with family.  But why call him a piece of crap? The state I live in this isn't even an issue, and I believe it should be decriminalized everywhere. I've heard some saying he's often preaching morals to people, so he's called a hypocrite. I can't speak to this because I'm not in the know here. I do see how this is no doubt devastating to his wife and kids, and I feel for them.

Because of your last sentence

Lot of experience on these here boards.  

Unfortunately. 

He needs to take a step away from wrestling and fix his life and focus on his wife and kids. As others have said, you don't just go out and do this one day out of nowhere.  There is a build up and I'm sure its not his first time.  What a piece of crap. His wife is now going to have to get tested for all kinds of terrible things. I hope she leaves him and takes him for everything that he's worth.      

Is there a thread about this on Penn State's discussion board? If there is, I can't find it.

That’d be more exciting IMO than winning 1-1 on criteria from 2 shot clock points because the ref felt it was the other guy’s turn to get hit for passivity

I mean, if you look at it in a certain way, the Welsh situation beneficial for everyone *except* Ohio State, if its' true he's going to PSU.

Pre-transfer, two of the top 184s next year were Ryder and Welsh.  If Welsh transfers, that means one of the two is benched.  That's one less obstacle to qualifying for NCAAs, and one step higher on the podium that the 184lbers of every other school can get.

The more talent that PSU hoards on its bench, the better other schools can far vis-a-vis each other.

good point!

What Blueblood program isn't in trouble right now that isn't Penn State.  Oklahoma State just because they got David Taylor.  The big issue is that most everyone wants to wrestle for Penn State and while I don't blame them, it sucks for the sport.

If Ryan gets canned before Bono, I will riot.

The entire state of Wisconsin is putting out the best in-state talent EVER and he is the reason why they won't go there.

Bono HAS to go.  Does the AD not care about wrestling or what?

If you don’t see the problem that the kid created, not by getting “paid” but the manner in which he did it, then you are clueless and hopefully not procreating or raising or mentoring boys to be men. 
 

Your demeanor speaks volume.

I think kids should do what's best for them.  And I won't tell this kid what's best for him based on my rooting interests or what I think is best for college wrestling.  

agreed.. coaches will flip and take a higher paying and better job so why not the athletes.

That is a back half that could rival/beat Penn State.

AJ is going to be Penn States heavyweight next year.

It was choreographed to perfection. ......and the Oscar for the best theatrical performance of a gold meda world champion giving up a take down with 25 seconds left goes to................>>>GS......

All they need was for "I am a real American, fight for the rights of every man. I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life" to blare over the speaker right after the win.  Then hulk Hogan walks down with an American flag and a chair.  He hits Gable over the back and then rips off his shirt and raises Wyatt's hand.  Then trump comes onto the mat and rips off his shirt.  They get on both sides of Wyatt and raise his hand. The crowd goes nuts chanting "USA, USA, USA".   While this is going on, Gable comes to and picks up the chair.  He walks up behind Trump and hits him in the back with the chair.  He runs off while hulk and Wyatt tend to trump.  We've got our next year long story line heading into wrestle mania which will be Gable managed by Paul Heyman possessed by the Iron Shiek and Chad Gable managed by Kurt angle to decide who the real Gable is. Which is obviously Dan Gable. 

He seems to want to compete but not at what he is best at.  Seems like he is burned out on wrestling.  I think/hope he ends up going into coaching college wrestling.

Heavyweight is easier anyway.  Didn’t he have several wins over Kueter?

I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised.  And yeah, heavyweight is cleared out now finally.

He had some personal issues that he was dealing with during his college selection process - and those that were not his fault at all.  I am really rooting for him to turn it around.  I remember him scrapping with Feldman back in the day

I followed him here in Indiana. He switched schools here multiple times.  Lost a year of eligibility due to it.  Then he's senior year he started out at a school and then decided to not wrestle high school that year.  From all accounts, he's a great kid.  I'm with you. I'm really rooting for him. 

I think 197 is too small for Carroll.  He's a tweener for sure but that seems like a brutal cut for him.

If you watched any of Steveson's WWE work you would know how horrible he was at staged/scripted wrestling which is all the proof you need to know that Hendrickson's win was 100% legit.

Or was he so good at it that he was able to convince you that he was bad? 

I'm surprised Wyatt didn't raise his eyebrow and hit Gable with the peoples elbow with how staged that was.
