Well. I’m sure he gets a good degree out of it (think he’s gonna go to medical school?). Don’t know if he’s their usual portal pickup.

I think Yara Slavikouski was all but a done deal there a year ago before Lucas Davison was on the market and they kicked him to the curb.

Then they tried recruiting him again before Hendrickson hit the market and he was basically like not doing this again. Glad to see the guy have pride in himself, he’s an All American and too good to get jerked around like that.

Ben Davino just beat Nic Bouzakis by a take down in the finals at the Clarion. I don’t see how Tom Ryan doesn’t start Ben at 133.

With Vince already being rumored as a decommit from Ohio St… both Bouzakis bros will probably be on the market before long.
Let’s just poach Davino instead. 😂

Nic looks demotivated. We've all been there at some point in our lives. He may .need a change of scenery tbh

He ain't demotivated. He just sucks at wrestling. Refused to evolve past Tulsa Nationals pee-wee package of wrestling moves and finishes.

Sorry Charlie. I am a loyal Nittany Lion. I used to go to PSU football games when I was 10, when the stadium was much smaller. These days I only support wrestling. You guys have plenty of support among your fan base.
Thats Mr. Charlie to you!

This was an obvious move after all other avenues ended.

I wonder how much the goofs gave him to put on their singlet? If he had shopped around, slumlord would have doubled it.

Willie just said on the Basch show that Owen Trephan (HWT NCSTATE) just entered the portal. Interesting timing.

Can he still make 174? What is the story with the decision to redshirt?
Idk any stories but he wrestled at 184 this year at clarion and Cleveland st opens.

Ohio state has a log jam at 184 with now Welsh, Shumate, and Rogotzke. Would think Welsh easily has the nod there or 174 if he wanted but maybe that’s not what happened. Kharchla is starting at 174.

they were talking about this a bit on the Penn State board and someone said that he wanted to go at 174 this year but Ryan made him redshirt so he could start Kharchla one last time. But now Kharchla is apparently injured and that’s what caused all this.

If true then it would seem he can still make 174.

I thought Dee Lockett will be our 174 next year if he puts on weight. We thinking Lockett 165, Rocco 174, Thomson (Or someone else from portal) 184?

I personally always prefer a redshirt. Regardless of how good the kid is. Big gap after a year in the room. Not sure I’m locking Thompson into any spot until we see a big difference either.

I mean I’ll take him at either haha but that’s interesting that if Welsh wanted 174 as a returning finalist they would put Kharchla in who is 6-5 at ncaas. Not sure I would buy that logic and if that is true I wouldn’t blame him for looking elsewhere.
They may be doing what we kinda wanted OSU to do with Plott at 184. Redshirt and let those older guys clear out, and come back another year more developed where you’re in position to be top dog.

Has he visited anywhere else? When did he make this visit to Stillwater? So what weight does he end up at next season? 174 or 184? Could be a huge pick up for OK State, especially with him having three years eligibility left.

Oh for sure I’ll take him at either spot. But someone asked if he could still make 174.

Maybe they could stagger redshirts a little bit? Have Dee go at 165 next year and redshirt Routledge then redshirt Dee the next year and bulk him up to 174 and start Kody?
