Potato, Tomato. A duck is a duck and you have done nothing to convince me otherwise, regardless of what case you are trying to make. Everyone knew I meant Robert even if I made the mistake of saying Ryan. He started and did what? They are both 0.500 against common opponents in Heinselman and Medley. McHenry holds a 12-6 all-time collegiate record where Howard holds a 7-6 all-time collegiate record. They are comparable. The biggest IF in this entire scenario is IF Howard is healthy. It could easily be argued that because of McHenry's lack of size and comparable results that he is a better wrestler. I won't make that argument. I will simply state that they are on the same level due to their actual results right now. I have high hopes for Davis, although I think he may never see 125. That should be taken with a grain of sand. Using any of the four true frosh down around that weight would be more apt, I think. As far as Steen goes? If Howard is injured (still)... which he has spent more time injured than he hasn't... and McHenry doesn't adjust well to the room... I think there is action to be had there. I do agree though, that if Howard is healthy he is the clear option now. They wouldn't have brought in McHenry if he was the clear option, though... I assume.

Semantics at this point. Of which we are allowed to disagree.

A free year is a year in which they are allowed to develop while not eating up any of their eligibility clock. Greyshirt, Oly-shirt, deferred enrollment, etc. Those all count as free years when you look at the grand scope of things in regards to development. They were given a free year of it without eating up eligibility. I am okay with gents getting a 6th year if they had some sort of serious injury that would have prevented them from competing when it mattered most. I would have even been okay with Spencer being given an injury redshirt the year he tore his ACL in the B1G finals, despite him winning NCAAs. Those make sense to me.

Penn State while Haines redshirts? HAHAHAHA

Josh Humphreys is in the portal for Lehigh as a Grad Transfer after being granted another year.

I think your take is much more realistic than mine. Mine is a 'If they focus purely on OTT as a priorty' sort of thing. They would still easily win the title, too.

I think he cares about having fun and setting up for the NLWC to dominate OTT. That makes me on the fence at 50/50 for Stalrocci. If he believes 74 KG is his for the taking, he needs to take the next many months properly preparing for a decent, or already doing so. Hell... even a drop to 165 would better prepare him for that than wrestling an entire season depleted at 174 with the entirety of NCAA D1 wrestlers targeting you and your 'style' of wrestling. He needs to feel that weight before OTT. If he thinks he can give Dake all he can handle because his 185lb self is giving Dake a handful, he needs to understand what a 170lb Stalrocci performs at. I also think many of the other gents will be focusing on that so we could see some what appear to be 'depleted' rosters if there are large international events that his gents want to taste. In my perfect world, because I believe a better Penn State is better for USA Wrestling, that means that they do put a primary focus on OTT for everyone. 125 - Howard, McHenry, Sheen, Davis (other frosh) - Wrestler by committee. Let the best wrestler wrestle, period. If a true frosh comes in and blows everyone out of the water... let him go. 133 - Nagao - Easy one here 141 - Bartlett - Easy one here 149 - SVN - Easy one here, although I don't know what that means for a 65 KG freestyle for him... I am all for it, but he has grown. 157 - Bearclaw, Lee, Lee - Let Haines (Oly?)-shirt. 165 - Stalrocci - Mesenbrink and Facundo Oly-shirt 174 - Barr - He can redshirt next season 184 - Truax - I think the NCAA champion will come from one of him, PK, or Munoz. Whoever is opposite the other two at NCAAs will have a huge advantage. 197 - Brooks - Thicc Brooks is going to be lethal come OTT. 285 - Kerkvliet - I have him as #1 even if some people want to forget that the American Hero lost to him at NCAAs last season. NLWC is going to be potentially jacked at 74 KG and not all will qualify, but... Dake, Stalrocci, Nolf, Mesenbring, Facundo, Haines, (? Barr, Kasak ?). Add in former NLWC gent in Joseph and it gets 'fun-fun' real quick. Even with a 'depleted' lineup sans Haines/Facundo/Mesenbrink and Stalrocci dropping these guys run away with it upwards towards 150 points.

Hey now. Someone got shit on for saying that it made sense for a guy from two weight classes down move up last season. Same guy also wants it to happen with Caliendo as well. He is less crazy for that?

Kurt McHenry has a legitimate chance to start for them this season. Ryan Howard has done nothing that should convince anyone otherwise. Also incoming true frosh Braeden Davis (really any of their four lightweight true frosh) as well as incumbent starter Gary Steen are both well in the conversation to be the starter by season's end. If they have a hole, it is at 125lbs.

Negatory Batman. I am already reaping my winnings. No takesies-backsies.

Swafford isn't that large. They basically have three 165lbers there and I think Caliendo at 184 gives them their best peak performances.

I want this... 165 - Kennedy 174 - Swafford 184 - Caliendo

You legitimately just explained how I was correct. Thank you.

Um... Dean got a free year. I wonder how that could be possible. It is as if there is or was some sort of loophole?

Silent heroes.

That is a fair assessment.

That's all fine and well. I never said I agreed. I simply said I was using Wrestlestat and I did with success find a team, Team Bread, that would beat Penn State, Team Filling. It was on criteria, but a win is a win. The 49ers beat Broncos 55-10 in SB 24 and the Giants beat the Bills 20-19 in SB 25. Their trophies don't say "These guys only won by 1 so they are lesser of world champs than the last guys who won."

I will take my coach of the year honors via PayPal or Zelle. Thank you.

I am going to go with Cornell and Mizzou in a dual. Here is what I have, using wrestlestat where applicable. 125 Surtin over Howard via DEC 9-5 Team Bread 3-0 133 Arujao over Nagao via DEC 7-5 Team Bread 6-0 141 Bartlett over Cornella via DEC 4-3 Team Bread 6-3 149 Van Ness over Mauller via DEC 6-5 Tied 6-6 157 BUMP-MASTER SUPREMO Shapiro over Haines via DEC 12-6 Team Bread 9-6 165 Facundo over Ramirez via DEC 7-6 Tied 9-9 174 BUMP-MASTER SUPREMO V2.0 O'Toole over Stalrocci via DEC 6-5 Team Bread 12-9 184 BUMP-MASTER SUPREMO V3.0 Foca over Truax via DEC 8-5 Team Bread 15-9 197 BUMP-MASTER SUPREMO V4.0 Brooks over Elam via DEC 6-5 Team Bread 15-12 285 Kerkvliet over Elam via DEC 6-4 Tied 15-15 It comes down to TOTAL MATCH POINTS, in which Team Bread outscores Team Filling 65 - 55.

My mistake. Do you see either of the latter two also going for an additional year post-Cornell? There were rumors circulating on Fernandes during the season this last year.

To be clear, Brain said it. Minnow is just using that information.

I bet Michigan would pay a pretty penny to get him for the next two seasons...

In any situation it looks as if the 2021 free covid year will be the year he is utilizing (which correct me if I am correct, the Ivies did not recognize...? Weird times those were). That said, FYI the site put a red squiggly lines under Covid above as well as that one, too... so now it isn't a word. Anyways... interesting that is what he is going to be able to utilize. I like it. I know Arujau has already said he won't be doing that. Fernandez and Loew might be in the same boat, as it were. Since he is a grad transfer what is actually stopping him from going now? He already has his degree from Cornell, correct?

Seeing ASU as a landing spot., too. I could see that.
