I wonder what these top recruits are getting offered. I know what one commit got. It’s not Football or BB money, but it’s no joke.
Recruiting
- Thread starter Racpack
- Start date
At PSU he’s just another dime a dozen.. in the middle weights he’s going to have to compete with Haines/ MM/ Facundo/ Sealy/ Duke… am
I missing any other studs?? Including Henkel that’s 6 elites that gotta share 157/165/174…. If he grows to 184/197 he gotta compete w/ Barr, Ryder, Mirasola twins for those 2 spots… don’t suppose he can make HWT… will be interesting to see how PSU fits everyone in…
Nini gets the MD over Herring who is nationally ranked and will wrestle for 3rd.
$200K+ on the higher end. $50K on the lower end.
Ford wins 2-1 and finished 3rd. Nice tournament for him as he was seeded 6th.
Nini wins 3-0 and finishes 3rd as well. He was also seeded 6th so he and Ford both out wrestled their seeds in a tough tournament.
Conner Harer took 1st at 160 at the tournament his team attended. His brother took 1st at 133 as well.
Andrew Barbosa, one of our commits, in Doc B semis. Beat much higher ranked Grigor Chilokyan 7-2 in Qtrs. Grigor is Stanford commit and top 20 P4P recruit so very promising win
Definitely a great win and he has another tough match up in the semis against Beau Priest, who is nationally ranked as well.
Barbosa wins 6-1 and advances to the finals at 160! He will face Ishmael Guerrero from Oklahoma. He is an Okie State commit who is also a nationally ranked prospect at 157.
It's been an impressive run for him thus far, knocking off multiple highly ranked wrestlers along the way.

I met Barbosa and his family when we went out to Cal Poly. What a great young man and lovely family. I think he will be a good one.
To be fair wng, u think everyone we get will be a good one 😜
Just beat returning state placer Zach Reilley in the shore conference finals. CBA did not attend so Nini did not compete
Kid
Yes I am the eternal optimist but watching these kids in practice I can see the improvement. Hey look, at 82 years old I better be optimistic or else the grim reaper will show up at my doorstep much sooner than I want!

Barbosa wins 4-1 and wins the Doc Buchanan at 160. What an impressive tournament from him, knocking off at least 3 nationally ranked opponents!
Everyone wants to talk about Goody and the coaches developing our talent. Well Mike Cetta 5th in Nj just best Penn’s 2 time state champ Andy Trsoczinsky 9-3. How is that for development
Penn guys are very high on Andy too, so that was sweet win.
That's a monster bracket....congrats to him and look forward to him getting to RU
I hear we landed a recruit from PA??
Beat Paul Kenny a couple weeks ago
Because he came to his senses and loved our coaching staff
Not sure where Knox ends up weight wise but I wonder if his commitment is was led to Smith’s decommitment. I think Knox is going to be good enough to go the Yianni route of not needing to do a year at Finger Lakes so if Cornell’s plan was to send Smith there, then each guys four years would overlap each other
That was my thought as well. But figured Knox looked big enough to get to 33 so wasn't sure if there would def be an overlap weight wise.
Beating Paul Kenny, if true, and being recruited by Cornell are good indications. I hope he won't be too small a 125'er.
Knox being in his way of starting is a good reason to flip, assuming his academic qualifications didn't interfere, but I have no information either way on that. Opportunity to start is what I questioned about Deluca's choice to commit to Penn State. We should watch the portal for him to show up in a year or two.
I think that we'll see more PSU kids in the portal. Not that we need him (or want him), but I could see Robert Howard hitting the portal. His college career really took a turn with the injuries. He's probably going to graduate soon and has like 3 or 4 years of eligibility left.
Didn’t he and his father bash Rutgers during the recruiting process more or less saying Rutgers was beneath them? Probably shouldn’t have burned some bridges, oops
