Yea just heard Byers. Howard is 1 and 2 today. Definitely not himself now.

Yea something is up with him. He just missed the round of 12 a couple years ago. Hopefully just need’s matches. Seems like he’s running out of gas.
The good news is we have a couple of guys at the weight that can be good. I’ll cut him some slack though. He hasn’t wrestled in two years.
Yes. Davis is 3 and 0 today. Just majored Steen. He pinned Steen in a wrestle off last week in Rec hall. Not sure if Howard and Davis had a wrestle off.
Yes good question. Thought we would see McHenry. That kid was outstanding in HS. Won big tournament’s all around the country.
Beau and Van Ness looking awesome today. Byers stating both have jumped to another level.
This is what I love hearing. Both have championship potential and I have been waiting for them (mainly Beau) to make the jump.
Also for those wondering Crookham took down Vito 8-4.
Olympic Shirt waives the requirement to complete credits. Other than that, it's just like any shirt -- you're shirting until you compete attached.
For reference, Snyder and Kolodzik both had Olympic Shirts pulled mid-season -- so they had to have been in class.
Yes, reading far too much into this. Steen was 6-15 last year and was by far Davis' toughest opponent. The other 2 guys are first-year wrestlers with unimpressive HS careers (one never placed at states).
The 2 guys Howard lost to: Ryder is a 3-year starter, 43-22 career (before today), twice fell 1 win at EIWAs short of making nationals; he'll probably be an NCAA qualifier this year. Gallagher is a true freshman, last year was NY state champ, top 3 nationally at his weight, and AA at both Fargo and Super 32. Significantly better competition -- though a healthy + rust-free Howard should've been 3-0 today.
Also, McHenry would presumably be next man up if Howard can't go. Davis is an excellent prospect, but no rush to get him into the lineup this year with our projected margin at nationals.

Penn State Wrestling Rolls at Journeymen Collegiate Classic - Penn State Athletics
The Penn State Nittany Lion wrestling team (0-0, 0-0 B1G), under the direction of veteran head coach Cael Sanderson, opened up the 2023-24 season at the round-robin

If you would have told me that a redshirt freshman was going to beat Arujau 8-4 without a fluke move, and Arujau being 100% healthy, I would have said.
But, Crookham is no joke. He is for real. Check out Crookham avoiding a takedown at the onset of the match. Not many wrestler's in Arujau's weight class could have avoided this takedown.
Just an update: Most Mondays we’d have a recap but holding that until tomorrow since Franklin is today. But, takeaways will be coming out soon. This week’s media event is Thursday.
Not sure on Kasak. He was on the entry sheet Saturday night but didn't compete Sunday. McHenry was never on the entry sheet. Let's see who they take to Army before drawing any big conclusions.
I appreciate the smiley face, but I suspect I'm not the only who comes here, in part, to get away from the toxicity of the football boards.Correction, Franklin (and Yurcich) can’t hurt us today. Cael actually knows how to coach. (Unless you talk to those black and yeller wearin’ fools in the midwest who say Carl can only recruit.)
I've been doing a search a couple times a day hoping content would show up. Finally did this afternoon.
For your viewing pleasure if you didn't attend the event.

PBP:
I'm out for PBP. Hopefully, many of you can step up and provide some coverage. As I always remind folks, posts are more helpful if they include the names of the wrestlers, scores, etc. Posts like "what a TD" provide more confusion than anything else, especially for a tournament that is not being televised.
can you or any of the other posters comment on how the new rule changes impacted things at the tourney. We had a large number of majors & tech falls, so I assume those new rules impacted that, but I’d be curious of your thoughts / impressions regarding the matter.
Thx in advance for your comments.
