[Tom McAndrew]

it appears that Mason Gibson has switched his verbal from Cornell to PSU.

yeah, I put that in the PSU Recruiting thread. I believe it's a transfer (he signed with Cornell as part of the 2022 class), but I didn't have a chance to check if he deferred or what, and too much going on with the football game.

I have a message into him to get to the bottom of it.

Can check "writing about wrestling commits during a football game" off my bingo card.

Here ya go, folks: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-stat...m-star-brothers-erik-gibson-and-mason-gibson/

@Tom McAndrew if you have some time at halftime, let me know if you see any errors. As you said, there's a lot going on! Lol.

Erik was in Ithaca but training with the RTC instead of the varsity team.

Presumably he was taking the Ivy Grayshirt Year at the local community college, at least for the fall semester.

Perhaps the biggest impact is with the rest of McCort -- the Gibsons are related to he Bassetts and Millers, and Forrest might be the biggest prize of them all.

I figured if anyone would know, it would be @El_Jefe. Well done.

And good point about making an inroad at Bishop McCort. They have a lot of firepower there that would look good in the blue & white

@GregPickel -- I read the article really quickly during halftime. Nothing stood out as inaccurate. Nicely done, considering you wrote it from the Rutgers press box while covering the football game.

Any Idea as to why this Twitter photo is labeled with: “The following media includes potentially sensitive content?”



Perhaps the content might trigger other fan bases?

Not a clue. Sorry.

A good article about Mason's decision to flip, and Erik's situation, when he expects to start (taking classes) at PSU, etc.

Bishop McCort's Gibson brothers announce plans to wrestle at Penn State

Not a clue. Sorry.

Maybe a disclaimer for the Cornell attorneys?

Can any one make a list or flow chart of the committed recruits for 2023 and 2024 with potential weights (obviously some kids grow in college-look at David Taylor)? Recruiting lately has been amazing-I guess Cael and crew are serious about maintaining a level of excellence. Hopefully NIL money will grow-NOT all kids get full scholarships-and knowing one is wrestling with NLWC wrestlers who are world and Olympic champs must be awesome. The fact that former PSU (college) wrestlers like Taylor are staying in area sure helps plus it seems like the area is becoming a MMA center what is attractive to many after college.

Maybe somewhere in his announcement, Erik said "Please respect my decision."
