Penn State wrestling lands second Class of 2025 verbal commitment
Penn State wrestling has landed its second Class of 2025 verbal commitment as Asher Cunningham has picked the Lions.www.on3.com
Flo's rankings are such trash. And not just for this one. Cody Merrill, California single-class state champ, world medalist, unranked by Flo for class and weight (at least recently).
Yeah, last update was in May, I believe, would think another is around the corner but not sure.
FWIW: Flo has a typo in the headline, as PJ Duke is a 2025 recruit

#40 2025 prospect Nicholas Sahakian chooses ASU over PSU, Michigan, and more.
Thanks Tom. This is the kid I’d love to get. Hopefully Cael, staff, and all involved are offering a package PJ can’t resist. As we know wrestling has some big time donors.FWIW: Flo has a typo in the headline, as PJ Duke is a 2025 recruit

@dicemen99 -- is it too soon to put kids on the recruiting radar? 
FWIW, Keegan is the younger brother of Bo Bassett.

I have a hard enough time keeping up with the 9th graders as it is.
Reminds me that I'm probably due for a spreadsheet update. Something to work on tomorrow.
Apparently, there were some wrestling visitors for the white out game.
That makes sense. PSU usually has visitors to games in September. However, the staff has been overseas for most of the month, so this seemed to be (I'm not certain) the first game where they could host visitors. Plus, it was the White Out (which is huge, obviously), and last year's team was being honored for winning the National Championship during the game. A night game (which the White Out is, obviously) is also a great football game to have wrestling (and other PSU sports) recruits at PSU, as they can spend some time with them in the morning viewing the facilities, talking with team members, etc., then get some tailgating in, and then host them at the game.
If you learn of any names that were there, please post them.
An article from June about PJ and recruiting:

Willie says Duke and Correa were at the White Out, and the only 2 there.

This is going to get interesting at the 149-157 area. SVN, Haines, Kasak, Pierce, Sealy, Duke. If someone bumps up, Mesenbrink and Facundo are there already. It will be interesting to see how Cael & Co. balance it all out. They’ve done a great job so far of shuffling the lineup to get the talent on the mat
Kasak was 141 and Facundo 165 last year. Sealey has said he plans to go 165 in college.
Perry is a good bet to wind up in that range, though.
Kasak was technically a HS Sr last year and I’m pretty sure he wrestled a little at 145 in the past. Whether or not he can hold 141 after a year training with the NLWC and M2 remains to be seen. Yes, Facundo was 165, that’s why I said if someone bumps up, then Facundo and Mesenbrink will already be there. Also, as per Cael last year, Haines may not be able to hold 157 much longer. Good point on Perry and guys like Forrest, Bassett, Raney, Harar and Herring are all possibilities in the next recruiting class around these weight classes also.
I think mesenbrink takes his Olympic shirt, Haines goes 157 this year, shirts next year to grow to full size 165. Mesenbrink goes 157 next year. 165 is still a meat grinder this year and whoever goes needs to be full size.

This video may warrant its own thread. And if somebody wants to do that, go for it. I figured that placing it here would get it viewed by most folks.
Bo Bassett did an interview today with Basch. He gave his impressions on many of the top colleges, including PSU. I'm putting the interview here, as it seemed to be the best thread to post it in.
Dynasty will remain as long as we have the best Coaching staff in the world !!!!
Earlier this week, Willie released his Top 150 list for the Class of 2026. You have to be a Rokfin subscriber to access it. However, the top 2 in the class are from Bishop McCort, in PA.
A couple important lists are missing:
Most Top 20 big boarders.
Most Top 10 big boarders.
I would guess the top 20 list would shift to Cael’s recruiting edge and the successs
Yeah, that was my point.
I haven't seen the data, but guessing that the social media post "Cael doing more with less obviously" (based on a Top 100 list from last 10 years) is probably off target.
I saw it when I went to Google. Article right below the search engine.
. Saw it this morning. Just hoping Cael and staff are offering him a great deal
