That’s good to hear, but is he spending too much time with his girlfriend?

I seem to remember Abe being not too shabby after only one year in the room to learn folkstyle. Of course some of our fans feel that fourth is a severe underachievement that warrants an immediate portal replacement.
He was also a grown ******* man wrestling kids :p

141 Bassett
149 Henson
157 Gaj

That is a solid lineup with probably 7 AA and 4 who could have a legit shot at the finals

If they don't pass Iowa this year, they will next year. Edit - and Ohio State is in trouble, too.

Mild by comparison.

This doesn't come close to going from Jersey Cruiseliners to Iceland vacation pics.
Ahhh, the sweet smell of nostalgia! I also remember when boardslop threads about poop & suriano & suriano poop were UPGRADED to photos of world travels...

Like when Ono traveled the world to land at Penn State!

Folks I hate to break it to you but it isn't looking good for Ono to be able to go this year, according to the insider on TOS.

Why is that?
The exact wording is somewhat vague but the implications are that he will not even be possible until January, and that even then it is "50-50". The part that worries me even more is that apparently there is going to be legal action that is needed, and that action could take a long time.

Heard something about that as well but not sure why. I heard it last night so it must be something recent
I asked the source for clarification but nothing so far. It's disappointing as hell: I was very much looking forward to seeing the young man take the mat with the folkstyle format .. whether he would have added team points or been able to win a title was secondary. It's unfortunate but I guess they tried.

Desmond being under 141.1 at certs is making more sense now. Hope we see him eventually

One of the funniest career patterns I’ve seen with this team is Scooter’s. Every year it seems like there’s no way he’s going to make the lineup, and every fall, he ends up starting. While I didn’t love some of his more hotheaded moments last year, I’m still a fan, so if he ends up being our 141, I say bring it!

Post from the insider:

"Ono 50/50 for January. They are still working through stuff with the NCAA on him and his eligibility. Could end with legal action.

James situation is fine. Parents weren't thrilled with the gap year but he is in State College in the room every day and I believe he's taking a class each semester. No worries that he won't be fully enrolled when the time comes.

Still flipping back and forth between Blaze moving up to 141 or staying at 133"

I am legitimately befuddled by Ono's case. He committed to PSU 18 months ago.

Everyone knows when he enrolled in college, if Japan uses another calendar, okay, adjust it.

Cael was originally saying he expects Ono for multiple years. Now it's possibly none?

Frankly I think the better way is Nate at 133 and Marcus at 141.
This. IMO Desmond could be really good at 133 but won't AA at 141, Blaze obviously will. Barring a growth spurt since last year, Desmond is way undersized for 141 and Blaze at least has the frame to get there. I am really hoping to see Ono.

It has been amazing at least so far 😂. But back to Ono...I'm with McS on this...how in God's name did this go from one year, to two years, to zero years?

At least Masa got to train with Cael and the entire staff, as well as experience the culture of the United States, for a couple years. But it's just sad that he never got to wrestle. After all, he IS certainly a great wrestler as well as a great young man.
