Carter has wins over 6 of the 2025 AA's. The only one he did not wrestle this year was Foca. That seems unique, but maybe it isn't. 3 were major decisions or more(he beat Jaxon Smith twice - tech and major but only counting for 1 of the 3). I voted for Carter.

It's not a fair accusation. I was trying to say that there are no good accusations. I listed off all the recent guys and how they aren't suspicious. Reading your response to my comment made me see that I did not word it about Kasak very well. Oh well, maybe chill out because I also said, "I just do not get it. And we have Warner and Marinelli being whiney bitches online about it." Not sure why you're piecing up my comment and misrepresenting what I said. Gun to my head, who from Penn State has done steroids? I would go with Taylor with low confidence. I think failure is a good motivator to do steroids. I'm not a journalist or on television. Get over it. David Taylor is my all time favorite wrestler.

So who besides Kasak is a fair accusation? I can see why people say Kasak. He has acne and he grew. But who else? Haines was cutting his ass off and went up to 174. Not suspect to me Cassar grew but not a suspicious amount Barr is a small 197. Not suspect Starocci not suspect. Brooks not suspect Kerkvliet grew naturally into heavyweight. I just do not get it. And we have Warner and Marinelli being whiney bitches online about it. There is a connection to Colavita's Treigning Lab with multiple Penn State guys, but Dillahaw is the only one who went there are popped, but that was EPO. And then Downey accused DT of steroids, which honestly is the only good accusation. He grew a lot and he failed for long enough making the team that I can imagine he would be willing to do it.

What in the actual ***duck**. I am tired of talking about AA threats sitting on the bench at Penn State.

So weird to me that he didn't go 86kg. Never saw a legitimate reason for why. Him going 97kg at one point so bizarre, especially considering he was gonna give up wrestling after Olympics.

Ludington is that option

They literally have a statue outside the arena with Dan Gable holding up the stall call. They are insufferable.

This is who Iowa could pluck from currently ranked 197s. You can add Connor Mirasola and Rocky Elam if you consider the redshirts who could have reasons to move like lineup issues or money. Literally everyone thinks AJ Ferrari is the most likely.

Is there a club the St. Ed's kids go to? They had a streak of NCAA All Americans from like 1982 through like 2019. I do not know if the streak ended. I think it did. Can we point their success back to someone? Caveat, I think they get a lot of move ins but I don't really know. I never lived around there.

Are you just saying that, or you've heard something?

It's an interesting point made about Sealey having been demoralized in the room. PSU has more depth than ever. But I would guess that he does well this summer in freestyle and it's just freshman looking like freshman. It basically happens to them all. Also, Sealey is going to have less than 4 years in the starting lineup. When he committed, it made sense. A lot has changed since 2022. He committed like early on in his process. Messenbrink wasn't a thought. Kasak wasn't supposed to be this big. I'm probably forgetting something.

Where are these quotes from?

Why are you putting "losing" in quotations?

Sealey straight up missing a year no matter what if he stays. PJ Duke or Messenbrink will need to go 174 or else PJ Duke is missing a year. Cunningham in same boat as PJ Duke. I understand why you just take in all the best guys. I do not understand why wrestlers would stay and lose eligibility. Especially for a guy like PJ Duke or Connor Mirasola.

I think a rash guard and shorter shorts would be great

How long has this guy been giving to the program?

Honestly Bo narrowed it down to these schools because he legit fits into the lineups. I'm not sure if long term his brother fits in at Penn State.

That matches up if he is at a new school in a few days. Otherwise this has nothing to do with this season, although his feelings might be hurt that the coaches might've told him he would be heavyweight next year and now they are going back on that.

I hope he finds a place to wrestle this season. Maybe he needs to be quick drive away from his parents. Anyone see any reasons for why he gave up on Iowa State?

You missed Indiana.

If Teemer is back, Buckeyes are gonna have a hard time winning. Kharchla over Patrick Kennedy does not seem likely to me either, but if the Buckeyes win at 157 and 174, then I think think the Buckeyes will win.

Thanks for sharing those dates. They seem accurate. But Hamiti was in Stillwater the day after NCAAs. All of these guys visited OK St before anyone knew about Taylor going there. It just feels like all these transfers mind's were made up ahead of Taylor getting there. You can go ahead and restate those dates as an excuse to make your point about Taylor/OSU/Transfers, but I think we all know how it actually went down.

So is Kaleb Larkin at ASU or not? Is he practicing with the team or the RTC?

I was very high on him going into the season for the same reasons. He had a very tough schedule to start the season, but his loss to NDSU is a head scratcher that I will chalk up to being "freshman moment." I think he will come around by the end of the year and at least make R12. I thought he was a top 6 type guy before the season started.
