Braeden Davis in the portal
- Thread starter Crackersisback
- Start date
The portal is closed until April. I don't believe he's a grad student yet . Grad students can enter the portal whenever they want.
What issues? Bc hes a college kid who gets drunk sometimes? His on the mat behavior is no different the SCW who starts jawing and pushes every guy that beats him after the match. Only difference is he’s a multi time AA at our biggest weakness weight class. Would be great to have him scrapping with Knox and Harer everyday.
plus he’d probably fit the culture at Rutgers better then at Penn state, he doesn’t seem like the bible study type
No, Leonard is talking about his behaviors. Lots of kids get drunk.
Didn’t he get into a second fight late at night on campus? Saw some video recently.
What behaviors ? giving Hardy a push kick? Not much different than SCW energy after a loss . Getting into a fight or 2? Again we have Knox whose been getting sued by the njsiaa for years now for running up in the stands and beating someone up a districts and we just signed Amato who has his own rumors about getting into fights.
which Davis behavior is disqualifying bc the way I see it everyone just hates him bc he’s been at Penn state. I see nothing that bad that it Isn’t worth the risk to bring in a big ten champ and multi AA at multiple weights and who’d be the perfect training partner for our 2 star freshman.
I just want AA's. I mean this isn't like he's a Ferrari retarded human being, he got drunk and did some stupid stuff. On mat he's had a few brushes where he felt disrespected and yes, the Hardy tummy tap was justified cause for the kick.
Yeah all he did was get drunk, assault somebody, and evade arrest. Been in trouble with police multiple times. No big deal.
Some of you guys sound ridiculous.

After the football season, i am glad to have some relevant wrestlers to follow.
The team has been down the past 2 years, but no wheres near the cluster of the football team.
Ashnault was a solid hire and hoping we can bring in some wrestlers next year similar to this year

He’s been in trouble with police one time when he was drunk and tried to run from them and got caught. Oh no the horror. Didn’t realize the fanbase had so many pearl clutchers
Didn't he try to get away on a scooter? "Evade arrest" makes it sound like he was doing 100 mph in a corvette. In reality he was doing 15 mph on a Wham-o scooter.

It's probably somewhere between the two sides here. I'm surprised by those who dismiss the seriousness of his behavior. I know if either of my boys had done anything near that, it would have been a big deal with me. But I do see him as a few criminal levels below the Ferraris, and some here wanted to consider them. I'd be okay with giving him a shot with a tight leash. That is, of course, if he would even consider Rutgers.
You take the high and mighty route and then agree with those you feel are beneath your moral standards.
The offenses happened in March of 2025, were misdemeanors and he completed a diversionary program. PSU didn't condemn him to expulsion for this and they didn't get rid of him for this, they simply recruited over him.
No he crashed his scooter. And he ran from the police on another occasion. The last one was police were looking for someone from a fight and they showed a video on the news of the people they were looking for and it looked like Davis was in the video. No charges have been filed that I know of
That supposedly occurred in Sept 2025, no charges have been filed nor has a connection ever been made by police. I highly doubt an investigation is still ongoing over a year later. So you have a bunch of people playing internet sleuth.
It was Sept 2026

I thought I came in somewhere closer to the middle. I did not, and I do not, agree with the dismissive attitude. He's not my kid and not my responsibility. I can't hold others to my standards unless I'm responsible for them.
“Assaulted someone“ …he weighs 140 pounds and he allegedly got into a fight with another college kid . Who cares.
we currently have one kid on the roster who got kicked out his high school for fighting someone
we have a kid on the roster whose fight video ended up on tmz and espn
we have a recruit with rumors of mutiple fights
and none of them are big ten champs or AAs so why the holier than thou attitude towards Davis and not the others ?
not to mention the asst. coach with the drug and gun charges
And yet we let Camp wrestle for us who was a drug dealer and trafficker.
I’m not a fan of Amato. I’ve said that before.
I wasn’t a fan of Casale either but he’s grown up.
The Knox situation has been discussed a million times. I put blame on everyone involved. The hosting school did nothing to settle the situation down, his father accelerated the problem, and the kid just reacted to seeing his father in a fight. I don’t excuse what he did but I think his situation is more reactionary than character issues.
Just a bit of clarification: B. Davis is NOT a “multi time AA”. He did win the BIG championship at 125 his freshman season, and made rd of 12 at Nationals. He AA’d (5th) at 133 his sophomore season, and qualified for Nationals at 141 his junior season but went 2-2 and did not place. As to the behavior issues, I have no further info nor will I opine. I dont know if he plans on transferring from PSU, either.
See you tomorrow at the RU vs Lehigh match.
Amato’s ranking always confused me.. he always seems like a high prospect on the big board rankings yet his weight class ranking is usually pretty low comparatively.. feels like he’s a boom or bust type of recruit..
I don’t think he can beat either Harer brother and is he even big enough to give Barbosa a match?
Rutgers ain’t in the position to pass on all American level talent being as it hasn’t sniffed the podium in some time. Let’s get over ourselves now … it’s not like it’s he who’s name know one speaks of in college now.
Never really know. Feels like Amato can come in and challenge for AA, and in that case he will find a spot, or flame out and quit… just his ranking always puzzled me.. he’s pretty high on big board but not so much in the weight class rankings.
I think Matt O’Neil is a better prospect, will have a better collegiate career and also be bigger than Amato. Hope we didn’t use too much cap space on him but he’s definitely someone we want in the room.
Yes, O’Neil is the better prospect as he’s #1 in his weight class ranking , not sure his big board ranking.. and always been hoping we could land O’Neil because he’s from Malvern Prep , and we have two recruits coming in next year from the same school.
I didn’t like Davis as a wrestler before the news of his issues came out. I’m good on that end.
I think a lot of his on matt antics are because he knew that he was the black sheep of the team. He probably felt pressure to be number one and did stuff he probably normally wouldn't have done. I think in our environment he would thrive and not feel that intimidation. On a side note , I really hope oklahoma state takes down penn state.
