Not necessarily a PSU connection (yet), but Bo Bassett mentioned in the interview he will be entering the U20 tournament at 57K. 125+ lbs. against college level competition may be a bit much for him at this point, but interested to see how he competes.

I don’t know a lot about the Mirasola twins. One has had a bit more success than the other, correct? Which one is that? Also, are they both high upside? What are the realistic expectations of each? Thanks.

Just a heads up that I'm traveling a good bit this weekend, so I won't be able to track the action, and post updates. Hopefully, one or more of you will post about the results.

Matt Lee 2nd and Barraclaugh 7th after being seeded 10 and 14 respectively. I did see Terrell beat Paddy Gallagher, but I don't have the details

Good performances by those two. Gallagher certainly came with a lot of fanfare. He’s had some success, but probably not what he had hoped for.

Jax Forrest is a must get. Going to take the big time donors to land him. Kids incredible. We already got the brothers from Bishop McCourt. That’s the pipeline now. Bishop McCort to PSU. Love this kid though. Great college body now.
