2024-2025 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter stuclone
- Start date
So when I make it over to the Wrestling tent later, the guy that handing out $100 bills, that’s Tigerguy, correct?
I’m the one standing next to buf and stuclone hoping they will speak to me
Them singlets and robes are tits....that should be a lock for every recruit
It was a good time. Everybody was having a good time walking around and chatting. I enjoyed hanging out with the Levy and Gorman families. All really good people who love the close knit, family-like community we have here as well.
I saw the recruits on Saturday. I didn't talk to them but they seemed to be having a good time.
I know they are reducing the trophy teams from 4 to 3, but it’s going to get a whole lot easier to earn a trophy with all the best guys on one roster and most of them sitting on the bench.
I keep waiting for guys to transfer out of Happy Valley that are too good to be riding a bench, but they rarely do.
They’ve also never had this insane depth they are about to have over the next 3 or 4 years. The last time I can remember seeing crazy depth was Brody Teske, Teasdale, Busiello, Cortez, RBY, Bartlett, and Nick Lee when they guys were all supposed to entangle at 125/133/141 and play musical chairs. Over 50% of them didn’t work out. Then you had the Kyle Conel, Beard, Max Dean overlapping that didn’t work either. I don’t think Penn state holds onto guys often that are really high caliber - Lee brothers didn’t end up being much and neither did Manville
same here - must be something in the water
but in all seriousness- you have many legit AA contenders who will never sniff the starting line up
let alone a chance to compete in the post season.
