Le duke Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I don’t believe he was not on Mizzou’s radar, given their history. Mizzou missing out on him not once, but twice now is perplexing to say the least. I wonder what the story is.

If anyone knows that Mizzou is perfectly capable of developing world level talent, it’s Coach Mesenbrink. Where he may or may not choose to train post college is not the issue. PSU’s fan base has been collectively annoying, but now that they’ve bought themselves a historic team, I can see it’s gonna become absolutely insufferable. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason HE gave for going to Penn State. He went to Cal Bap first because...as others have pointed out, they were the first ones who were really in on him. He wasn't a huge prospect until after beating Haines and some of the things he did his SR year. He choose PSU because he said that was the best place to accomplish his goals. That's not a story, and I'm not a PSU fan, that's just reality right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le duke Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Tyler Kasak (wearing Levi Haines' singlet) beat Vince Cornella, the #7 seed from NCAAs, to advance to the U20 65kg finals. DT was his corner man. I anticipate a RS and then a log jam at 133-141-149 for Penn State with three AAs at those weights in Nagao, BB and SVN, who have three, two and three years of eligibility left, respectively. He could take both an OLY and a regular RS, if he wanted to, to let Bartlett graduate and the weight open up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That argument about the level of recruiting talent...that was a debate that ends with this '23 class and transfers. I could coach Penn State to 5 National Championships with Jimmy Cinnabon's as my "inspirational speaker." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go train at the NLWC. Or Olympic if he wants to be in the room with the team, then take a regular RS, then get at it in '25-'26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CementMixer Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 Missouri wins 2 matches against PSU. So it's no threat dual wise. It also returns around 80 less points than PSU so it's also no threat tournament wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennsylvania is the Mecca of wrestling and has more fans than any other state. The reason it took Penn State so long to claim our dynasty is because of the atrocious athletic directors in charge of the University all those years.
