I think Starocci will be back for a 5th NC next year. NIL money. I don't see him going the Olympic route, more MMA like Bo Nickal. He can do that anytime. I assume that Aaron Brooks' eligibility is over, though it's hard to tell these days.
The PSU Wrestling Room should be studied by professional sport teams. They have the ability to convince recruits/transfers (and then prove to them) that if they want to be the best, there's no other option but PSU.
Amazing story. Good for PSU!
Iowa needs a Penn State trained coach!
Rocco Welsh, the one Starocci defeated 2-0, is a true freshmen. That young man was in high school last year. Hope to see big things from him in the years to come.
Levi Haines, another NCAA Champion(Add Greg Kerkvliet making a total of 4 Champions this year), said they had a BIBLE STUDY before the finals!!! Winning is never treated as the “Only Thing” by the wrestling program. If losing makes you a better wrestler, or person, it is always worth the process. The 2 Nittany Lions who LOST in the finals(Beau Bartlett and Mitchell Mesenbrink had the biggest smiles at the award ceremony where the TEAM won its 11 National Championship in 13 years.
