Thankfully, those guys will be able to elect for treatment under the old rules and will avoid 5 for 5.
PSU Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter WEAREPSU_LI

I seem to recall one of our finer posters suggesting a few months ago that we may need 4 of Sanchez, Howard, O'Farrill, Hazelett, Hutcherson, or Hoare in '28 to stay a solid step ahead of OSU. Is that still gonna be a thing with 5/5?
"We need so-and-so" was not a thing since we hired Cael, except with panicky fans. No reason it would be with 5/5, again except with panicky fans.
We will suck forever!™
2028 is the end! Oh me, oh my the lions, the tigers and the bears.
Yep, we'll be saying what a glorious run it was! Now we're like the destitute Hawks.

I don't think Penn State "needs" 4 of that group, but I wouldn't be shocked if they wind up with 4 of them.
Exquisite semicolon usage here, Psalmguy!
Where u been? Just catching up to posts from last year? Here are some great semicolon quotes for you: "Do not use semicolons. All they do is show you've been to college." – Kurt Vonnegut. "Semicolons = the white jeans of grammar." "They are more powerful more imposing more pretentious than a comma but they are a comma all the same." – Gertrude Stein.
Re: semicolons… former wrestler and Vonnegut student, John Irving, would disagree with not embracing the semicolon.
Ha, love them all!
Yeah, man. When you let 6mos of board slop accumulate, it's much more efficient and far more joyful to find the #quality #content in a couple of fell browsing swoops.
And unlike other social online spaces, there's no stalker stigma attached when I hit yas with a favorable emoji on some old post!
Sidun and Mangano (Not discounting Sheperd or Burnett) are going to be a steal and this entire 2027 class for PSU keeps them in the drivers seat through 2030 and we will be adding Teague in soon too!
Interestingly, no OSU Cowboys or Huskers in that top 10.
Cael can somehow bring top tier talent into an already loaded room. Taylor and the cry baby in NE aren't there yet and may never get there. We are blessed to have something special at PSU.
those guys aren't really that good i'm just a penn state homer (allegedly)
It looks like we will have to wait for Kenny and Bachman to transfer to see if they can win a national title.
That's one hell of a racket:
- over-rank a bunch of mid prospects
- recruit them to a school where the coach can't coach
- collect commission
- they win anyway
- best brain ever
- repeat next year
Is that a quote from a porn studio?
Sidun is a typical PA kid who might not get the most free accolades but you know he will be a hammer in folk. He's also a career 125 which is great, I think Burnett almost certainly outgrows it.
TnT loading up next year for a strong run at 5th place
These rankings are from flowrestling. I'd take the Penn State class all day. 4 top 1o vs 1.

I agree…but I think they’ve got us in the name game…
I didn’t have one team with two Maximi on MY bingo card!
That is what I thought. What are the odds they get two kids named Maximus? I don't know and I cannot recall ever meeting anyone named Maximus. I have a friend who has a son called Max but that is his full name.
These ranking of teams make no sense. I would take 4 top ten over 1 every day.
That is my grandson’s name…and it’s pretty f’n cool! I’m hoping my daughter names her next son Proximo.
It would naturally follow that the Brands will be recruiting every Minimus in the country, right?
How about Optimus? Then he could do the Austin Powers 'Prime' is my middle name with a smirk.
Not saying it is not a cool name. Just think it is pretty rare.
The first night after my son was born, they stuck him in the well baby nursery so we could get some sleep. He was positioned in between a Maximus and a Titan. Titan was HUGE (like 12.5lbs). My son is named after a Norse God, pretty funny because he is my 11yr old clone and clearly is not of Scandinavian stock. Ironically, my other son's namesake is my favorite Brazilian BJJ practitioner, and he got every bit of his mom's Caucasian blood - practically white hair, bright blue eyes, and pale skin.
I was trying to dance around it, but Odin and Caio.
When my wife found out she was pregnant with Caio, I just had basically my entire left shoulder sewn back together - a few days before I was set to compete in a NAGA tournament. I had to name him something BJJ related, it gave me motivation to get healthy and get back on the mats. All the other options were Helio, Renzo, Robson, etc. Wife got to name our first son so she gave me free reign for our final one. Of course, now I am tiptoeing around having my other shoulder totally rebuilt and am not training consistently again.
Can't wait for the day Caio starts kindergarten and his teacher calls out Caio XX (common Hispanic last name) and sees this big (he's really big at 20-months) kid with a mop of bright blonde hair, blue eyes, and translucent skin.
