Boompa 179 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 It's the PSU philosophy and it's working. The difference between PSU and Okie State is Okie State is recruiting wrestlers who still party. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nom 984 Report post Posted July 26, 2019 I appreciate the aspect related to having to get away from the environment and ‘friends’ that are contributing to holding one in a bad pattern (not taking about PSU wrestling - talking about the the rest of the world he, in particular, lived in at Penn State). Smart and mature move to get away from that and start fresh. It doesn’t cure all but it helps remove some temptation. I’ve known others that have taken that path and it worked. 1 andegre reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy Cinnabon 265 Report post Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Best of luck to the kid but I wonder if moving from one big college to another one is really going to address his underlying issues with drugs and partying. It's not like Iowa is a different environment when it comes to the big college atmosphere and all the temptations that come with it. I get he's friends with Spencer but Spencer isn't going to be able to babysit him and keep him out of trouble if he wants to find it.

LemonPie 1,368 Report post Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Here are two reasons Teasdale might look better than he is in the practice room 1. Doesn't have to manage his weight. Proven to be a guy who is affected by a cut 2. Lightning quick low single shot, but not a guy who will win many scrambles. Guys aren't going to put themselves in dangerous positions in practice. Scrambling at 50%. Edited July 28, 2019 by LemonPie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He then brought him over as a mercenary to win his first NCAA team title and block Koll from winning one (geographics in play). As for Ruth, Sanderson didn't recruit him and he sure as heck didn't recruit Ed JR who is better coming out of HS than SR. He also didn't technically recruit the Altons, they were already halfway committed to PSU when he was hired despite how much Tbargandizes it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
