If you got out of your own way, you might start to understand why kids want to go there. Being an all american or an accolade doesnt define you as a pesron. Fans love it and cant understand the mentality because for most of them, being an all american, would be life defining. Listen to interviews with PSU wrestlers and coaches. Its about being the best version of yourself, growth and what lies ahead in life. Most cant recall who was an all american from year to year. If the true goal is to be a national champ, then psu is the place to be. If you can beat the returner or upcomer in the room, then your on your way. If you tranfer because you cant, then your walking away from the best to get beat by them down the road. If being an all american is your dream, then transferring would make sense. The type of guys in that room and the ones that want to go there are not built that way. The Tom Ryan story of going to Iowa is an example of this mentality.
