PSU Recruiting Thread

[NoSoup4U]

^^ Has no idea how NIL works, or athletic scholarships that have been offered to recruits for decades.

um I do........ NIL within reason --- sorry but 1 million bucks a year for a nonrevenue sport is stupid dumb regardless...... you missed the culture vibe of the post of course everyone gets money its been made quite clear what Iowa and ok st do...they flash money first ask questions later I suspect Cael takes a measured approach and he gets a little more play now with scholie increases .. at 9.9 a few years back not every one was on a full ride.... I know how it works ... but since you will reply with ==>PSU has more NIL money than we think<== great ...you contributing and how much?

Basch and Willie talked about it this morning and the one thing they said that is likely true is that it really is not about the money because by decommitting he likely left money on the table as any deals now are limited to what the schools can offer through the settlement and any NIL deals have to be approved through a Clearinghouse. Recruits had to have deals in place prior to June 6th in order for them to be grandfathered in and not go through the Clearinghouse.

I have zero intel but Pitt would be my dark horse pick. To me it seemed their prior AD was trying to build Pitt athletics using Penn State as the model. She thought, "What would it take to build athletics success at a large university in the northeast?? And what sports could we have success in??" They built (or are building) a new Olympic sports complex which seems to be a version of the role Rec Hall plays at Penn State. I doubt they want to spend that money and not have results to show for it.

So they've developed a strong WVB program to fit the model. I wouldn't be surprised if they've also decided to open the wallet in an attempt to elevate the wrestling program as well. Or maybe I'm just full of baloney.

From what I’ve been seeing, this was specific to lack of access to train with the HWC. If that’s the case, and this is about development opportunities this next year I don’t think Pitt solves that problem. Nebraska has a better room, but good luck popping out to Lincoln to train for the weekend. PSU or Ohio State would make more sense…

He has far better training partners in his parents basement between Jax and Melvin vs. any middleweight on Pitt’s roster.

Truthfully, 99% of the people commenting on this, or any message board, never had the talent or abilities to wrestle D1 let alone to even be reached out to by TnT about maybe wrestling at Iowa. I understand your point because if I was a father of a kid who did have the talent I wouldn't want him going to Iowa, or Nebraska due to the behavior and conduct of the coaches during duals. The Brands are likely good men and good hearted BUT they handle themselves like spoiled toddlers during duals. They treat referees like trash. Manning is somehow worse.

If it’s going to be shocking where he picks, my guess is Rutgers

 

[Corby]

um no let him go elsewhere...if kid wants to get paid without earning it... this isnt the place for him we have standards. Either you are on board with those standards or you are not

Horrible take. Bo will be an asset to whoever gets him.
