I’m thinking Cael wouldn’t have tolerated Zahid’s lifestyle very well.
PSU Recruiting Thread

Interesting you say that. I visited with a staff member following the Ohowihate match. I asked about some recruits and how 2 big names went west.
He indicated that one of them was not the type person Penn State has on the team. He left it at that.
I mentioned Marcus Blaze and the staff member’s reaction was - there is a great kid. Marcus is a really good person.
Interesting. There’s another high profile kid at another B1G school that I heard wasn’t a top priority at PSU for the same reasons.

Guessing this is one of 2 guys.
Sasso had some off-the-mat issues before his HS JR year and possibly worse, hung out with some guys (like Chlebove) who got into bigger trouble. He did clean that up while in HS, but by then Cael had seen enough and didn't seriously pursue him.
Maybe Steveson? The talent was always obvious, but he didn't treat the sport like a profession until after Cassar beat him twice AND he got into legal trouble.
Edmond Ruth? He had that bad drug arrest in North Carolina while at Lehigh.
Otherwise I'm struggling to figure out who is (1) B10, (2) high profile, (3) might have had a team fit issue for whatever reason.
Only thing I know is that he sat out the National Preps qualifier, so his folk season is over.
No idea if he plans to do freestyle this offseason.
I'd imagine the plan was always to shirt him unless Lilledahl can't make 125, and we're not hearing of that being an issue so far.
An answer so obvious, I missed it. Recalling Welsh had a list of 10 schools and we weren't on it.
IDK specifically about him, but Waynesboro in general produces guys who don't fit Cael's program.
