Pretty sure we haven't had wild cards for quite a few now years. At-large selection.
Apparently he thanked Penn State for his years there. I believe he is looking for a NIL payday for his last year of eligiblity. Wouldn't it be nice if Thompson got a redshirt year next year to develop and grow into 184. I guess that would mean that we need to find a solution for 165 next year as well as 174 the following year.
Pretty sure that is wishful thinking as Michigan and Iowa are paying quite a bit for wrestlers. Also I cannot see Penn State letting him get away (somewhat lie we did not let Ollie Gordan get away in football).

We'll be making a play for Carter but I doubt it will be enough. PSU has deep pockets to keep him but they may not care if they do or not with the log jam they got going. Could see Messenbrink go 174 and Haines wants to go up also. Dont think we could match Iowa or Michigan like someone said earlier. It owuld be wild to get Carter at 74 and Barraclaugh at 65 lol.
I found a backup Penn State guy that I do not think he would be of average talent among our starters. https://gopsusports.com/sports/wrestling/roster/terrell-barraclough/15253
Barraclaugh is tough as hell and as far as 165 transfer prospects, he may be the top of the list unless we could get Hamiti.
Dont see messnbrink going down at all. PJ Duke will slide into the 157 slot next year. Mitch up to 74.
Duke has another year of high school.
and yes, Mesenbrink is going down, Haines going to 165
Starocci. He isn't transferring anywhere and has another year. If you seriously think PSU is going to let him go to another program you're fooling yourself. He will get his money.
Yeah. I don't see him not coming back. They're going to offer him enough to stay.
IF he doesn't come back? Facundo.
A little more than a tweak. Dont be surprised if he gets surgery after the season.
Starroci - when your the best , the seed doesn't matter
I only watched a few minutes of 2 or 3 of his matches and it looked like everyone avoided trying for his bad leg. Maybe he's just that good that it was never presented to them
From neutral, You don’t shoot to the bad leg, you make them use it as their stabilizing leg. Now, in a scramble on the mat, it depends. But, his gift is being huge for the weight and having tremendous head-hands defense.
All PSU guys 157-285 look huge for the weight.
Two of them moved up weight classes this year. Three if you count 149 who bumped up from 141 after an injury.
