But Welsh is at OSU, a significant millstone he will have to overcome over time.Barr & Welsh (both Freshmen) had 3 epic battles in HS. Welsh is a PA kid from Waynesburg. Welsh has 2 wins, Josh 1. Josh beat him at Fargo & Welsh won at Flo's Who's #1 and Dapper Dan/Pgh Wrestling classic.
Kerk can come back. Brooks and Truax are done.Are either PSU's 197 or heavyweight wrestlers (for next year) currently on their roster or are those likely portal spots?
He’s very tough in a loaded 165 weight class. He’s just so physical. Love it….It's really hard not to temper expectations, he's looked dominant
Wrestlers tend to want to stick around the best coaching staff in the world on and off the mat. They learn just as much off the mat about life in a positive way. Incredible dynasty.TBD. They have the Mirasola twins and Zach Ryder projected at the upper weights, but they will all be true freshman. I think the portal is a legitimate possibility.
I believe I read somewhere, earlier in the year that Kerk plans on coming back next year. Obviously, a lot of time for that to change but…Are either PSU's 197 or heavyweight wrestlers (for next year) currently on their roster or are those likely portal spots?
Thanks for the excellent coverage as usual @GregPickel and @Tom McAndrew! Most appreciated!3 Penn State wrestling takeaways from the Lions' dominating win over Indiana

I’ll venture to say that Barr in the PSU room will be just fine. Doesn’t Welsh have a bit of a reputation?Barr & Welsh (both Freshmen) had 3 epic battles in HS. Welsh is a PA kid from Waynesburg.

Thanks Tom for pBp and the video links. Long day and just now getting to see these. I mentioned to my wife the final score, 46-0! and she says, 'I suppose Penn State won..?'POST-DUAL PRESSER: Aaron Brooks and Carter Starocci post-Indiana, 1/14/2024

Messenbrink looks small to me for 165. Does he even weigh in at that weight?Mesenbrink's a stud. Looks like he potentially a bit of an upgrade at 165.
He is small. But not losing weight all season has its advantages.Messenbrink looks small to me for 165. Does he even weigh in at that weight?
For sure. He'll be wrestling Starocci, Brooks, and perhaps Morgan McIntosh & David Taylor. Who does Ohio State have that stacks up?I’ll venture to say that Barr in the PSU room will be just fine. Doesn’t Welsh have a bit of a reputation?
