Philippi and Nino can come back. Next year would be Philippis 7th year in college so not sure he would want to come back at that point. He may just want to move on. However I feel a lot may ride on if he finally gets over the hump this year. He has been so close to being an All American that if he fails again this year, he may just give it one more go.
Let’s assume he won’t come back. Priest will never be able to go 133 so we are in desperate need of a 125 or 133, whichever Camacho doesn’t go. I’m not exactly confident in anyone for 165 after wentzel is gone and 184 in terms of competing for an ACC championship. We definitely have some holes that need filled sooner than later.
They literally might be able to pull in the best recruiting class of all time if everyone sticks haha. Few things big brand in the big ten. There new workout center is like the Alabama of college wrestling. Some things I am not sure of but can speculate is NIL money as well. Rumors were swirling that #1 overall Jesse Mendez had an offer for 80k to go to Indiana yet he committed to Ohio state. Logic tells me that there are some pretty incredible NIL deals in Columbus too. Plus that is a great college town thoroughly enjoyed my visits there back in the day. Also have Steiner be your lightweight coach is a very nice bonus
I only just remembered Camacho has four whole years of eligibility left. If he could be a career 25 that would be huge.
One of 165 or 184 should get filled when MacKay arrives depending on whether he lands at 165, or 174 with Luca moving up.
We're in on someone from Bethlehem Catholic (along with heavy interest from Nebraska). I'm spacing out on the name right now.
It’s Tyler Kasak. It would be huge to get him but Brian Snyder from Nebraska usually gets who he’s after from PA. Gavin and Co. are gonna have to work overtime to get him

Maybe I will try to come back. Lets see, 70 years old, replaced knee, bad shoulder, 100lbs overweight, slow and weak. On second thought I'll pass.
Does anyone know if we are recruiting any 184lbers? I See McKay at 165 and Luca at 174 and maybe Lledo but just wandering.
I think McKay 174, Luca 184 eventually. Once Pletcher and Keslar have had a couple years in the room and are ready to break into the lineup at 57 and 65.
Good not great prospect. Won’t be in the top 100 or anything like that but he is a guy who could easily be a starter in 2/3 years if things go right. If I was coach Gavin I’m signing 4 or 5 of this level prospect every year and I’d be ecstatic if one pans out
Bethel Park's Mason Kernan (soph, 120) is 28-0 with some nice recent wins.
I'm guessing that is Hunter's brother?
If so, that would be a good pickup. Love Hunter's athleticism, just don't love his head game
I would like to think we have a very good shot to land him if we want. I know KG was sitting with the family at one of the tournaments I believe Allegheny County.
I know Hunter seems gun shy but his progress has been incredible. Coming out of high school he profiled more like a D3 or D2 guy and he has pulled off some impressive wins this year and nearly beat a top 15 guy a week ago
