I went to take a piss and missed the Brown match....
Granted that Warrior Run is AA and doesn't get invited to the top tourneys like Ironman and Powerade ...
But in the past 2 seasons Milheim has gone 98-2. The "2" were both Melvin Miller. Last year he beat AAA state finalist Luke Sipes, and this year he beat AAA champ Gabriel Ballard. (For reference, Ballard teched Whitbred at states.) So Milheim is pretty good.
Anyone want to guess who the PA OW will be?
Bechtold is pretty mobile for Heavyweight
15-0 in 1:55
USA 23-19

Was definitely one I had circled and early it looked like James was on a different level. He's so good he's gonna be a Penn St great
Snooze - lose; piss - miss...it's all the same. Go Elijah
Elijah Brown has a lot of Wyatt Hendrickson to his game. Top tier athlete, HS 220 with room to fill out and wants to score from top always.
Looks like American got a good one. James looks like a redshirt would help him clean up some sloppy tendencies. Brown looks he has a huge upside. Interesting that James and Brown seem to be on very good trajectories in their careers.
American getting a good one
... and it would've been the wrong guess. Dillard got it. I guess a 15-0, 1:12 tech fall at an upper weight just doesn't get you very far these days.
Not in this economy.
McHenry is the one going through some mental difficulties at the moment, right?
There are people saying he is. I have watched the videos and they have definitely been odd. I know people that are actually struggling with mental problems so I won't say thats what his problem is or isn't. Personally, I think the issue is he wanted to be with the NLWC more than the NLWC wanted him to be there so he is stirring the pot.
Waters. Penn State fatigue also applies to recruits. ;-)
He was escorted out by event security and the police and Cael smiled and waved goodbye at him.
I said from the get go (the first video), Kurt is clearly battling some mental health struggles and people are discounting that because they want to take him at his word for what he's saying about PSU. A lot of "look at PSU fans discounting him cause he's speaking out against their team" No, literally LISTEN to the way he talks in the video and tell me he's in the right head space.
He's been concussed multiple times in his career before he got to PSU.
I've had a friend who went down a similar path after a lot of concussions in high school, the transformation was virtually in the blink of an eye and it was really hard to see and he ignored all my pleas for him to get help and even physically threatened me a few times until I had to cut off ties.
There was a kid from California a while back who had concussion issues that forced him into an early retirement. I think his name was Cade Olivas. He was supposed to be the next big thing for lightweights and then had to quit the sport. I wonder what ever became of him
PSU got two very good ones in James and Brown. Both need to RS and will… James at 184? Brown definitely a HWT and a potential good one. He is not the 77th best senior in the nation!
The white kid will be lucky to stay at 97 his whole career
I assume you mean Michael White. He's projected at 184. Definitely not a HWT.
Gotta remember that Dapper Dan has a generous weight allowance. Eye test need not apply here.
BTW, Team PA wins if Bassett goes here at 139 or 145 instead of RAF.
Forrest going here instead of OKST only helps if he would've gone 139 over Baum or Wenner. Forrest at 133 wouldn't have helped since Dillard won.
Hard to say if Harer at 145 would've won for PA. He's better than Turi, but Wolbert might have beaten him anyway.
