PSU Recruiting Thread

[Ghost of Tim Riggins]

Getting us back on track here: Landon Sidun will indeed be taking an OV this weekend.

Nice!!! Hope he jumps on board soon, hopefully I'll run into Cael at a Norwin match this year

Why is the ghost of Tim Riggins going to be in Western PA? What happened to "Texas Forever"? Is it all a lie?

Fun fact: they filmed that show on a sound stage in NYC.

 

[Aardvark86]

But truly one of the most beautiful campuses you’ll see!

Huh? The area is beautiful. But the campus, not so much.

Needed a change after prison

Besides Sidun (which is huge) what other recruits are visiting today?

 

[Dren007]

Did anyone see the sign at the ESPN College Gameday show. A sign that said "How tough can Oregon be if they don't wrestle" lol. Herbstreit said yes they have good wrestling here.

Not a bad recruiting effort.

Unfortuantely he's the only recruit that has gotten back to me. I do believe State College's James Whitbread will be here. Grey Burnett isn't wrestling for Perrysburg today so he's a possibility but don't have that confirmed.

 

[nerfstate]

Well, at least Sidun can’t commit to Oregon…

lol

Cael’s immediate job is to convince recruits our mark of excellence isn’t the football team’s offense

I just walked out of the stadium with Cael and Casey. I got a fist bump for showing Cael my PSU wrestling hat!

 

[WPIALBrwnPSU]

You had TWO designated drivers?

How’s your fist?

A+ post. Exhausted this morning but that made me laugh out loud.

Are we sure Cael can’t coach football too?

 

[Hardwork830]

From what I heard it is forsure Sidun and Whitbred. I also heard Mangano from NY may be there as well. He is a KD kid. Not sure about Burnett. Sidun and Burnett may both be 125ers so maybe separate visits?

Thank you.

We know Franklin can't.

Excellent pickup. Hopefully he doesn’t outgrow 149/157. Gotta like their chances with ‘28 recruit Camryn Howard. Keep the pipeline going.

Penn State wrestling picks up first 2027 pledge as top New York, KD Training Center talent Gavin Mangano picks the Lions

Penn State wrestling picked up its first commitment in the Class of 2027 when it landed New York star Gavin Mangano.

Willie said he thinks he ends up 165/174

Franklin could add an element of fun and gratitude.. His team is playing as tight as a drum.

 

[86PSUPaul]

I walked out of the game with Cael on saturday. Someone asked him if he could coach football also. He said he would be a terrible football coach….

 

[LemonPie]

Yeah, wouldn’t surprise me. Wrestling 138 at Super32, but frame looks like he could add a lot of weight.

Sidun hasn't committed officially yet but his Instagram tea leaves are interesting. He put "Uncommitted" for his Pitt and Ohio State OVs. He didn't for Penn State, he edited and added #psu and #weare.

He has only liked pro PSU response on his post, nothing from other schools.

Also would add some rumblings I heard from the weekend.

My guess is it's just a matter of time for Sidun.

 

[McScoreley]

Hopefully Mangano doesn't outgrow 157 but this is a "talented kid wants in, you figure it out later" situation.

Not to mention we aren't saying no to KD kids.

He is humble.

Concur with that being close to wrestling program and knowing the General Manager for the Wrestling team.

Should have asked him if Franklin could borrow Bonnie for a few weeks.

Top Penn State wrestling recruiting target Melvin Miller puts the Lions in his top four

I'm usually skeptical of inferred clues in teenagers' social media. In a vacuum, that's a rabbit hole.

But this isn't isolated. Several months ago, well before recruitment began, word was Sidun badly wanted to come to PSU.

It just feels like slow-motion confirmation of what was the likely outcome from the start.

He’s been talking about it at school for several years. He has his chance, hopefully he pulls trigger soon

Gotta love an Uncle Tony call out!

I didnt realize Bassett and Miller were siblings.

That was diplomatic.
