It’s not really getting Rick rolled when you know the Rick Astley video

 

[Dogwelder]

It’s not really getting Rick rolled when you know [it’s] the Rick Astley video

Kingslayer is just a straight shooter who tells it like it is. I still remember when he asked you, “Hey SJP, can you come to my house next Tuesday? We are having a surprise party for you.”

 

[nerfstate]

It’s happening at noon today with Cael and wrestlers to follow closer to 1:00. They don’t allow live streams/broadcasts anymore, I don’t think. But you’ll be able to find youtube links soon after.

 

[GregPickel]

It's at Noon ET. We will have video shortly thereafter.

Josh Barr injury update: Penn State All-American will 'take a little while to come back' after injury at U23s

Penn State wrestler Josh Barr hurt himself at the U23 World Championships. Here is the latest on his injury status.

[Hockeygod11]

No indication of the nature of Barr's injury? I'm assuming anyway based on knowing Cael..

 

[JoeBagobagels]

 

[FrankTanks]

Barr has a rib injury and will miss some time. Expect him to wrestle this year. Kasak, Davis and Ono redshirting. Blaze 133, Nagao 141 and “The Duke” at 157. Conner Mirasola will fill in for Barr.

 

[Hockeygod11]

so fairly long term on Barr.. like second half of the season timeline?

 

[SleepyLion]

Hope Cael has a deal with Yeti.

Ono has one year of eligibility, but it sounds like that could change. But who knows .

Cael said “we should see him soon.” I think we see him at collegiate duala

Hate to see Barr out. He shot out like a rocket last year. I do, however, love that Connor is getting a shot. Nothing wrong with 2 Mirasolas pulling up the anchor.

 

[The Pitchfork Rebel]

Kasak and Davis redshirting...

 

[Hlstone]

Hope Cael has a deal with Yeti.

He/the team does indeed

 

[Arivacalion]

So the staff feels confident that Aaron can be the man this year! This has the potential for another James English storyline... fingers crossed

 

[GregPickel]

What is the Penn State wrestling plan for Ono, Tyler Kasak, Marcus Blaze, and Braeden Davis this season?

Penn State wrestling will start its 2025-2026 season this Friday night against Oklahoma. Here's what the lineup could look like.

Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but is it confirmed that Ono has 2 years of eligibility?

Not really, but subject to change. Cael had stuff to say about it's in Greg pickle article.

 

[nerfstate]

To the contrary, he said he has 1 year right now and is planning on redshirting this year. But he said things are changing fast with the NCAA and things could change.

 

[GregPickel]

Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but is it confirmed that Ono has 2 years of eligibility?

He more or less talked around it. Which, I don't blame him since the process is still playing out. But unless something changes, he is going to redshirt this year and compete next year.

Not to put down James English but I think the expectation for Nagao is higher than 7th place.

I told everyone this already maybe I'm a Penn St guy

Ant The Champ might be more appropriate

Just letting you guys know if you need a Penn st insider I got u

 

[jack66]

Still no end in sight.

It looks like we will have 1 Sr, 3 Jr, 2 So, and 4 Fr in the line-up on Friday. Plus, there will be 3 AAs and a World Champ, with at least 8 total years of eligibility, watching from the bench.

And I was told we'd come back to earth when Ruth and Taylor graduated.

 

[manatree]

Everyone is missing the most important thing. Cael said that last year's team "was pretty dang good."

 

[SleepyLion]

He/the team does indeed

That head of his is valuable real estate.

 

[johnstownsteel]

If you are reading this and recorded the YouTube version I watched, how about next time get your **** together BEFORE the interview starts so we can concentrate on what Cael is saying instead of listening to you doing whatever it was you were doing. That or move the mic closer to Cael and farther away from the wrestling match you seemed to be having with your equipment.

I thank you in advance and I hope you came away with the W...

 

[SteamyPyles]

The fact that Nagao, mat wrestler extraordinaire, is talking about how good Ono already is with his mat wrestling is VERY exciting

I feel for ya buddy. I couldn't watch it all the way through. Came here to get the gist of it. Unlike you, I try to protect my 5 senses... lol

Wow. Just wow.
What a grounded young man. Maybe it is me, but Aaron’s mannerisms remind me of Zain. Of course the message isn’t much different.

Getting really pumped for Friday. PSU first time starters at 33, 57, 84, 97 and Hvy Wgt along with a guy who has been out 2 years.

Welcome Home, Mark Hall!!!!
