PSU Board previews RU wrestling
- Thread starter Chickadee34
- Start date
What I've learned from that preview, they still have asshat's on that site. Matter7172(from the start I always knew that guy was a dick) and @pawrestlersintn loves to come on here all nice. Then runs back to his dysfunctional circle jerk board to degrade. Guy is like the comic book character Two Face.
Not sure why the OP felt the need to even post that on here. And agree if Matter is let back on here, the moderator who lets him in should lose his job.
Those jerks don’t even know Turley is going to 165.
Agreed.
And the funny thing is most wrestling fans on here do not usually bash PSU wrestling.
There is no doubt that Penn State is an outstanding team, have a great coach, and their record over the last 10 years maybe the best ever.
Unfortunately, many of their fans are classless. They love to bash other teams. Be it Rutgers, Iowa or Ohio State on a regular basis. What are they afraid of?
What's the definition of a cult? A misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular thing.
A cult describes many Penn State fans. It's sad especially when they can show class and win with dignity.

Hey Bill ...who is impressing you in the room so far ..assuming you are a regular there as in the past
Alvarez and Vulakh are my picks. Every day someone else steps up and flashes.
Here are links to the other previews that Cali has done. Lots of good info. He does a nice job, but can't possibly know everything about every team. When someone passes along info like Turley going to 165, he usually updates the preview.

Welcome to college sports message boards.
- Never realized they were meant to be nice. If you think that's bad, you should spend time on national level football boards.
- Yes, I jab RU from time to time over there, but only because if you jab them here, you get put in timeout.
- Every message board has asshats.
By the way, I'll add that i think you've taken a huge step with the creation of this stand-alone wrestling board. So much better than wading through that other board just to find wrestling stuff. Nice job by the moderators.
What is your anticpated starting line-up after seeing practice with the new guys and Suriano's Olympic redshirt? Also, I just went from buying tickets for 2 matches a year to season tickets.
Good for you Husk. Lineup pre January is still up in the air. 225/33 has a bunch competing so that is hard to tell. 141 Lipari has a good mind set not thinking about who he wrestles but just go out and wrestle. 149 is a scramble also with 3 or 4 guys battling. Same with 157. 165 could be Donner or Turley and 174 Grello or Scott. 184 is Janzer or Scott and 197 is Pagano, Lightner or Correnti. Colucci is 285. Sorry could not be more specific
Is Glasgow that small that he could make 149? I do not see that happening but I could be wrong.
I am very high on Vulakh - He has the grind mentality and can absolutely make some noise.At least we have options as he could wrestle right away or redshirt.
Wasn't our recruiting class ranked 4th?
Yes it was. Recruiting is getting a big jolt after us having 2 NCAA champs. Kids want to come here and all over the country. The new facilities is the cherry on top of the sundae.
This year will likely be a down year. Need to keep the recruiting momentum moving forward though. We are very close to becoming a hot program and making the jump to the top ten on a year in year basis. A couple surprises this year would help. Must continue to recruit better though. Last year was a great start.
Yes, by 1 site, but you need more than 1 class, as we missed on 3 straight classes from 2015-17, and 2018 is trending similar to 2016. Thankfully, Suriano transferred in greatly improving the 2016 class. Which of the 2019 class are guaranteed 3x or 4x AAs and national champ contenders, like Suriano and Ashnault were? Maybe 1 and expecting all or most of them to pan out and contend for AA this year or next year is unrealistic. We need 4 of them to be multiple time AAs and can't miss on entire classes anymore. I mentioned this in this thread on pages 3 and 4:

The new facility and 2 national champs should help tremendously, but we need to start landing more of those elite recruits (multiple time AAs and national title contenders) in the 2020 and 2021 classes, and beyond.
Having a wrestling center that guys want to come train at will also help to develop some of our non blue chippers. Keeping AA around to train and also having Bryce (not sure how much he's there) around helps a ton. Not confident we land AJ but it would keep momentum for the following year even if we have a down/rebuilding year.
Yes. SKWC and NJRTC wrestlers are key. Landing AJ would be huge for recruiting momentum and results, as he's a 4x AA and national title contender, but it doesn't look good.

Going to be tough but we have to keep recruiting in bad years. With AA and Suriano and all the hype it has to be an easier sell. This year looks like a lot less success and hype gotta keep kids wanting to come here.
Trust me, kids all over the country want to come here. We have to be selective.
I don't doubt that or our coaches' efforts but we need these type of elite recruits often. Who are we getting at that level? Where's our next Ashnault or Suriano?
Give these 2019 freshmen recruits a chance to justify that #4 ranking my friend. This year may be tough but future is bright. Plus they are all good character kids. Just my opinion.
Bill, give us predictions on which kids of the 2019 class wrestle and which kids redshirt.
Bill has a great review of the freshman in the SKWC newsletter. If you don’t receive the newsletter, email Director of Recruiting, Kyke Kiss, and ask to be placed on the newsletter email list.

That is hard to predict as to who is the most advanced and who we have at each weight. I would think Alvarez and Vulakh have a good shot. So does Turley
I think that’s pretty safe assumption. My guess on lineup is:
Aguilar
Alvarez
Lipari
Vulakh
Glasgow
Turley
Grello
Janzer
Correnti
Colucci
Yes Ashnault is back training. Lipari vs JoJo will be a good battle. Mike Van Brill will be in a battle at 149 or 157.
