    I hope we don't lose J Barr to the portal. Logjam, but coach Cael and crew will figure it out. More than likely they anticipated this situation and prepared for it. We shall see.

      They could potentially lose either Josh Barr, Zack Ryder, Alex Facundo, Joe Sealey, and Tyler Kasak. If they do transfer I could see Josh Barr and Alex Facundo going to Michigan. Then Joe Sealey and Kasak are OSU. Then Ryder at Ohio State. His synergy would fit perfectly there.
      But after Carter and Greg graduate. Barr and Ryder battle it out. Originally I thought Ryder would take that some what easily but recently Barr’s growth rate is pretty damn good. I think it’s a 50/50 toss up and the loser will have no choice but to hit the portal or they will never be able to compete unless someone gets injured.
      Tyler Kasak apparently can’t make 141 or 149… somehow. He must’ve grown, well that kinda kills his chances of starting because 141 would’ve been wide open that year, now he has to somehow find a way to best either PJ Duke or Joe Sealey. Joe Sealey will probably never start unless he transfers which sucks. Then Kasak might be a one and done type of guy since PJ Duke is coming in.
      PJ Duke comes in and that seriously adds to the log jam.

    I saw on a recent UA-cam video that the gentleman claims that Nagao has already got a medical redshirt.I look for Davis to take that spot without competition.I look for Levi Hanes to possibly redshirt but that’s still up in the air. I think Mirasola Will possibly take a red shirt at 197.

    I actually wouldn't have minded to see Starocci and Bartlett move on. Let the new guys start there Penn State careers so we don't lose any of the future. Kasak is much more exciting than Bartlett, then you have Barr at 184 and Cochran or Mirasola at 197. Wait until Duke comes in next year. He's not going to want to redshirt. Good problem but you hate to lose some great wrestlers.

    PSU is like a casino with stacks and stacks of blue chips. They hardly have any red or white. It's totally fair but seems not so. Furthermore, Coach Cael is both thee best shuffler and dealer in the business, and as we all know, the house always wins. The odds are with a new scoring record, and a tie with the legenday Gopher King, JRob with a miraculous 10 of a kind. The cards say, read em and weep. Can it be?

  • @BabyBrands60056

    133 sounds like Davis, with Nagao being injured. That means 157 is the last real question (Kasak or Facundo). Hard to top last year but they just might do it.

    If Levi and Conner don’t redshirt Penn State will lose Alex and Josh to the transfer. Most likely going to one of Penn States main rivals. That’s a tough pill to swallow if Iam Cael Sanderson.
