Bummer, I usually enjoy rooting for Hamiti. If thats the case, I can no longer do so in good conscience
No Interest In hamiti Iowa will be all over him.
here is my wish list.
Crookham if Bartlett can’t get to 33
Bennett Berge if Carter doesn’t come back although doesn’t matter Facundo 74 and barr 84
If Kirk leaves Nathan Taylor 1 year and let the twins redshirt with Cochran going 197.

The going rate is Hamiti to Michigan, which would make some sense. As for Penn State and the portal, I would not rule out any additions, but at the same time, it feels like they are gong to have a challenging enough time sorting out the lineup with what they already have returning and coming in from high school.
Hwt only if Kerk doesn’t return. Taylor is from Brookville Pa. Not that far from State college and he gave Kerk 2 good matches this year, relatively speaking.
Wonder if Michigan will turn Hamiti into a Lewan, Amine or other boring as hell, defense-only wrestler, or if they're hoping he can teach others in that room that shooting is OK??
PSU doesn’t need any transfers… they lose Carter, Truax, and Brooks and have 133 pts returning! No one else is close.
Well, we don't need him, we already have Messenbrink!
We could definitely use him IF Carter doesn’t return. If in shape he would have beat MM. I’m praying a big donor reaches out to Carte though
Just as a housekeeping note, so far no Penn State wrestlers have entered the portal. It doesn't mean that can't change, of course, but it's where we stand as of 2 p.m. on March 27. In my mind, logic would dictate that someone(s) would eventually decide they can be in a starting lineup somewhere and move on. But, outside of Beard and Nevills, there's little history to suggest that will be the case.
Dean Hamiit to Oklahoma State, per its RTC:
always like Hamiti, one of the guys that would have been a great at Penn State, not sure if he was a high level high school recruit or not, fun to watch.
Will Hamiti wrestle 149 or 157? 
I like the joke, lol, but seriously with Dean, this past year, I couldnt believe he gets to 65 on that frameWill Hamiti wrestle 149 or 157?
According to dicemen99’s updated spreadsheet, Howard has two years of eligibility and Barraclough has one. If they both are able to complete their coursework this semester, I could see them giving it a go elsewhere.
Yeah, in terms of guys who wouldn't surprise me, the two you mention make that list along with anyone about to get overtaken at 125.
Ha, I should have said overtaken. Steen and Vespa, specifically. But, guys just don't transfer out of this program. You can't tell me that David Evans could not start somewhere and make some noise. But unless something changes he won't be moving on.Davis is gone?!?!?
Ha. I was more referring to Lilledahl coming in and winning the spot if he doesn't redshirt. Although I could see that scenario more likely pushing Davis to 133 and Nagao out. Or Lilledahl going 133....
Nagao already redshirted. Could he lose his spot? Of course. But I do think the most likely outcome here is Davis redshirts a year to prep for 133, this is Nagao's last at 133, and Liledahl slots in at 125. We'll see. There's always the possibility of Howard finally getting healthy, of course, though those are long odds, I know.
I think lilledahl or Davis shirt. I think Steen and Vespa stay. Similar to Evans, bearclaw and the Lee Brothers. Kids just don't leave unless they graduate first. I guess you could throw Neville in there too.
Can't be any tampering involved in these fast commitments. 
it is like it was all planned in advance.
