Interesting that he faced Levi Haines at Who's Number One. Appears we've lined up a couple of future hammers for the upper weights.

Nice!! Welcome Josh. He’ll have one hell of a workout partner with Haines. Not to mention all the other older accomplished kids beating up on him in the PSU room. Iron sharpens iron.

157 really the only question mark for the foreseeable future. Obviously Shapiro could fill that role im sure he’s a priority recruit for the staff.

Just got back from Tampa and the Outback Bowl and was coming to post this, but as I should have expected, you all are a step ahead of me!

Great get.

Now if we could get a kid from Detroit Catholic Central we've hit the trifecta of the three best high school wrestling programs in the state of Michigan.

When Willie is pleased, PSU fans are happy.

Josh Barr to PSU

Can some of the experts on here provide perspective on Barr as well as the other MI recruit (Haines?) that recently committed?

Davis is from MI.

Top-40 Prospect Braeden Davis Commits To Penn State Wrestling

Davis is expected to wrestle at 125 or 133 pounds, which is certainly good news for Penn State.

Haines is from PA.

Penn State wrestling lands a commitment from Biglerville standout Levi Haines

Haines has looked the part of a technical, polished and tough competitor with a near-ideal temperament for the culture of Penn State's wrestling room.

This is good news

If the kid doesn't know that it should be "a part" (two words) I don't want him. We've got to have some sort of academic standard.

I’ll bet Cal Poly would look past this…
