Nothing against Maximo Renteria, he’s a D1 wrestler which is more than the overwhelming majority of wrestlers can say. But he has a career record against D1 opponents of 9-19. Has anyone had a worse in season loss during the year they won a national title (not counting injury defaults)? Just goes to show that anything can happen during the season and you can still win a national title. Oh and 125 gonna 125

Seems to be working OK for Penn State
-
Yeah I think only third school technically. He was initially committed to NC State, but don’t think he ever actually enrolled, although he only announced he was going to Rutgers a few weeks before classes
-
And Italy for freestyle?
-
Well after Burwikk we know Wisconsin guys won’t be missing that portal deadline anymore
-
Seriously, this can’t be a good sign for Bono
-
Could be wrong, but wasn’t Bailey in particular pretty high on the P4P list? I imagine he had offers from bigger schools to begin with, I’m sure there’s a reason he chose Little Rock
-
Yeah I feel like Facundo would’ve already hit the portal if he was going to leave
-
Did Mesenbrink really not know he was losing in the finals?

Similar thing happened to MJ Gaitan against Patrick Kennedy in the Cy-Hawk dual. The ISU coaches thought Gaitan was the one with riding time even though he was getting majored until there were like 2 minutes left in the match -
Or the same donor to make another donation…

Obviously a Cornell guy based on the OP, so looks like Shapiro
-
A bit dated, but here ya go https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/5068724-tax-forms-reveal-stunning-finances-at-nittany-lion-wrestling-club

Yes he is. I believe @Wrestleknownothing has shown the chart with average finish or something in the last 10-15 years and Iowa was well ahead of the third place team, which I think was Cornell IIRC.
-
I get what you’re saying, but he makes good money “selling juice and coaching club.” Iowa would need to make it worth his while, it’s not like he’s just going to be willing to uproot his entire life just because he wants a challenge. I don’t see them offering what it would take to get him, or even moreso, firing the second most successful active coach to bring in a guy with no college coaching experience.
-
He was talking about graduate programs. I’m sure a lot of these guys had no intention initially of going to graduate school at the same place they did undergrad if at all. But the free Covid year gave them the opportunity for an additional year of eligibility and to potentially get paid to wrestle while using it. People like to complain about the free Covid year, but encouraging guys to use it while getting a graduate degree is certainly one good thing about it.

So basically, if you consider Starocci as a 1 seed, PSU actually under-performed vs seed.

There needs to be a time limit for reviews

Original call stands -
I don’t think they are, just assuming he uses his redshirt if Bartlett comes back which seemed to be the plan this year before SVN got hurt, or goes 141 if Bartlett doesn’t come back which was also the plan this year before SVN got hurt.
-
Is Barraclough coming back?
-
I don’t think PSU offers him much TBH, they don’t need him. Michigan or Iowa though…
-
I thought that at first until I heard him talk about how Cael etc would have done it if they had the chance and he really didn’t seem to care about that. I don’t think he’s back, unless maybe he hits the portal
-
Why would 2026 be any better than next year without their 6th year seniors? They scored 69.5 with just Haines (26), Mesenbrink (19.5), Kasak (19), Nagao (3), and Davis (2), all of whom should still be on the team in 2026, plus Van Ness coming back and all of their top recruits. I’m not a PSU fan, just a realist
-
As mentioned he took an ORS in 2020, he also took a year off school in 2021 when the Ivies did not compete
-
I was wrong on my hot take of Haines not making the finals. I also thought Starocci was mostly healthy but apparently not. Honestly him raising the hand of the trainer might’ve been one of the cooler moments of the tournament
-
Yup and that was with a combined 6.5 points from Rogotzke, D’Emilio and Bouzakis. They certainly had a shot at 2nd
