Sorry I'm just getting to this all, I've been out of town on vacation, but am back now and will try to connect with him after school today. A good get, for sure.

Is there a good write-up on this that is not behind a paywall?

Is there a good write-up on this that is not behind a paywall?

kind of depends on how you define "good." The OnwardState article and the Flo article are pretty good. They basically go with Tyler's Instagram announcement, and fill in around that. Another article along those lines is here:

Penn State Wrestling picks up highly rated in-state recruit

Penn State Wrestling coaching staff secures commitment from a top 25 recruit for the class of 2023

In terms of articles where Tyler speaks about his decision, so far the only such ones are behind paywalls.

I'm very happy to have misjudged the likelihood of Kasak coming to PSU back then.

Word is he's growing to 145 next year. In which case, he's likely a college 149/157, which gives flexibility around Van Ness' eventual weight.
