Thumper Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Lilledahl was a H.S. Freshman in 2021. So he won't be a H.S. Senior until next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacknGold Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Does this commit hurt PSU chances of landing the Nagao transfer? It happens to be during peak of transfer season! Interesting. Now he would have Gibson and Lilledahl to compete with for starting spots in multiple years. Wonder if this could be a deterring factor. Nonetheless PSU fans should be excited about the commit regardless, Luke is elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckshot Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Nagao has three years left and LL doesn't graduate until next year. As I see it LL redshirts Nagao's Jr year and then Nagao bumps to 141 for his Sr year to make room. I also think it LL won't matter with Lagao because LL looks like a career 125 guy, it's the other guys like Howard, Davis and Gibson who will be battling for a spot. My prediction is: 2023 Davis-Redshirt 125-Howard 133- Nagao 2024 125-Howard/Davis 133 Nagao/Howard 2025 Gibson and LL redshirt 125-Davis 133-Howard 141-Nagao When you factor in the inevitable injuries I think they'll be able to make everybody happy. A lot hinges on Howard and if he can ever get healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacknGold Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Nagao has 3 years left, Lilledahl and Gibson will both be there his junior/senior year. There isn't enough space for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Having an excess of talent doesn't seem like too troublesome of a problem. Cream will rise to the top. I doubt PSU has interest in recruiting the type of guy who is worried about being recruited over. Even in a game of musical chairs, they recruit people that expect to win and act accordingly Edited April 10, 2023 by flyingcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 College wrestling is no longer a team competition. PSU has the title wrapped up for the next decade or more. It's participation trophies and hoping your team can get a individual champ for all the have nots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't enough space for everyone Grey/Red...they figure it out. And maybe Lilledahl wrestled 125, Gibson 133, Nagao 141. Whatever happens, I'm sure they'd figure it out. PSU is recruiting on another level right now. Just the amount of talent between 57-97 coming in... A LOT of these guys will very possibly end up AAs elsewhere.

LJB Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 i feel compelled to say this... my younger son has had his ass kicked all over this country and this planet... luke is hands down the best wrestler he has ever been beat down by... more importantly, luke comes from one the best families i have ever encountered in this game... if you all want someone to get behind, this is the kid... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scourge165 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) He's a stud...and he's a kid, but what the hell happened with him and Basset in the elite 8 duels? Looks like he lost his composure a bit. Shit, probably another guy who's going to be a future teammate in Beau.

Eventually top tier talent will have no choice but to go other places as well. I think it's possible this commit hurts the chances of landing Nagao, but we will see, I'm just speculating in theory and of course it's still up in the air. The timing just seems like it could be relevant to transfer rumors. I mean, top recruits don't just commit to colleges on any random day. Everything is well thought out and calculated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
