I hope its Stutzman although I'm not sure if that boat has sailed or if there could be appetite for a reunion. I don't think we need to worry about it being a repeat situation. And if so, they both did well together. But "a man never walks in the same river twice. He's not the same man and its not the same river"

To add a little more color in case folks around the country weren't following the PA college scene: To benefit from economies of scale, the state colleges of Pennsylvania are due to consolidate into two: 1) Pennsylvania Western University (Penn West): Edinboro, Clarion, California 2) Commonwealth University: Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, Mansfield There was originally talk about the campuses maintaining separate athletic identities, but knowing administrators and bureaucrats, I could see them being consolidated as well (this is pessimistic speculation so don't mind me)

I'm passing on some excellent knowledge from @gimpeltf that I had saved down on my desktop: "1. Back in the day (40s-50s in particular) the top 4 wrestling colleges in the state sent their coaches out to local high schools to give clinics as the sport was in its HS infancy. Those areas where the colleges were became the states hot spots. One might surprise you. In no particular order- A. Western Pa (WPIAL)- Pitt (Rex Peery) B. North Central Pa- Penn State (Doc Speidel) C Eastern Pa- Lehigh (Sheridan/Leeman) D. South Central Pa- F&M (Believe it or not- they were among the top teams in the country back in the day) (Uncle Charley Mayser) 2. The State College system. Used to be known as the State Teachers Colleges. Several of them have dropped over the years. The PSAC was never a qualifying conference but the league tournament was one of the best in the country. So what would happen is that a kid would wrestle in HS, go to one of these colleges to wrestle and to become a teacher. Would get a job as a teacher and a coach and the cycle would continue in an upward motion." Really goes to show how PA became so good at wrestling in the first place and how PSAC (State Teachers Colleges) deserves a cherished place in wrestling history as a conference.

My rationale for hoping this thread is moved to the non-wrestling board: 1) Its not about wrestling 2) I can hear idiots argue about this stuff anywhere I go and the points mentioned here are identical 3) It has made me think worse of people who I otherwise respected from conversations about wrestling. (not because of their political opinion, but because of how quickly they are willing to abandon decorum when alternate views are presented). 4) I make a decent effort to avoid thinking about things I don't want to and this thread keeps popping up in a place where I don't intuitively expect it. I will otherwise just keep trying to unsuccessfully ignore it lol

Yes I heard he and Molinaro interviewed. And that there was some speculation about the possibility of New Jersey native James Green. Otherwise, no clue.

Molinaro?

I've watched the industry of investment management transform in such a way where executives openly talk about taking the weekend to eat a couple gummies and sink into their coach to relax.

So Lock Haven may be open to guys for second chances (similar in a way to Rider, and increasingly, Northern Colorado) but they have also demonstrated at least one example of discipline for bad behavior. In last year's MAC championships, Lock Haven HWT Isaac Reid threw punches at Terrese Aaron from Northern Illinois. (https://getsomemaction.com/news/2023/3/4/mac-suspends-lock-haven-wrestling-student-athlete.aspx) The following season (the one that just ended in March) he was demoted to backup in place of struggling sophomore Ethan Miller, who went 5-22 on the season as Reid exhausted the last of eligibility as a backup after having been a national qualifier in 2022. Anthony Noto was accused of making racially derogatory remarks to teammate Donald Cates and was sent packing by Pop. We don't hear reports about whether people are making progress in that regard, so I don't have any indication as to whether he has been on better behavior (or even the validity of the event in the first place). He did have a blow up at Pop in the matchup against NC State two years ago. Long way of saying that Lock Haven may not be the place for the Ferraris though if they are not borderline bad boys and are actual criminals.

I don't have a very good idea of what kind of school it is honestly. I can see that they have Justin Phillips who transferred in from Virginia which is another top school academically I think on par with Duke

Ariel Waldman from LIU to Oneonta State

most definitely

cheap tilt is a cheap term. if you can't defend it, you deserve it.

Indiana at 165 - Tyler Lillard vs Derek Gilcher. Lillard has nothing left to cut and could not make 157 without removing a limb. I hope Gilcher can do it

It's not performance enhancing. It has practical uses in pain relief and diet simulation for those undergoing cancer treatment most especially.

I can only speak for myself and I am completely satisfied with the service

I get my best wrestling statistical analysis from ex-swimmers

i'm not laughing at you - but with you. If you ever stepped on a mat with the likes of Lewis you are likely many levels above the best version of me.

Lesbos is a Greek island and goat cheese from that island is known as Lesbian Cheese I believe

As a reformed internet political arguer, I am much happier posting about less divisive things like sports and stuff

Spencer Von Savoye from Cal Baptist to Duke

Lock Haven has been a decent place for those on a redemptive path with a few notable others

If that is true, I might expect Facundo to enter the portal in the fall, with Michigan as an ideal landing spot

couple updates to wrestlestat lineups: Levi Haines listed as started at 174 with Mesenbrink at 165 again and Kasak up to 157. Luke Stanich on RS with Sheldon Seymour off redshirt and sliding back into starter at 125 while Stanich grows into 141 (or Crookham does) Rylan Rogers down to 174 from 197 Evan Bockman listed at 184 Jack Maida back up to 133 for American with the ferocious Max Leete taking a senior year redshirt Isaac Trumble at HWT with Trephan riding the pine and relative unknown Christian Knopp starting at 197 for NCST

Yes at a minimum depending on how you define it. This will be his fourth school over the course of seven years. But one piece missing in below is that he had also originally agreed to transfer from Buffalo to North Dakota State and then redirected that transfer to Oklahoma along with Kish. So he has been committed to at least five schools while attending now four.
