Justin BaschHOST
Then he's wrestling Moussakaev, gets the pin up 7-0, which we said yesterday was the most predictable thing of all time.
Justin BaschHOST
Then he's wrestling a really tough Azerbaijan kid who teched PJ Duke, I think, last year.
Justin BaschHOST
Ridge beat him at the ranking series.
Justin BaschHOST
Zayn shuts him down completely, beats him 7-0.
Ridge LovettHOST
Oh, my gosh, Ridge.
Ridge LovettHOST
Dan Ness, PJ Duke, Messon Brink, Levi Haynes, Rocco Welsh, Connor Marisola, Cole Marisola.
Ridge LovettHOST
Oh, Penn State's switching up the brothers this year, too.
Ridge LovettHOST
Their heavyweights are brothers.
Christian PylesHOST
He scores bonus points at an insane clip.
Christian PylesHOST
And yeah, would PJ Duke be my pick to win the national tournament? One 65 right now? Yes.
Christian PylesHOST
But if Mitchell mess brings there, he is to me a better option and he separates more.
Christian PylesHOST
And yeah, I think that's ultimately who would start.
SammyHOST
I think, uh...
SammyHOST
Arman Andreasson? Is this the one? Who's the one? Was it Hevatab or Andreasson that beat PJ Duke? I think it was Hevatab, right? I don't remember.
SammyHOST
Yes.
SammyHOST
I think Havatov is the scariest one at this weight.
SammyHOST
Yes, this is the one that beat PJ Duke 14-4.
SammyHOST
I think that's the guy that you need to keep an eye out for.
SammyHOST
Where is Iran's rep? Oh, yeah, Khalili.
14 MINS LATER
SammyHOST
James?
RoyHOST
And then so you would get one point for that.
RoyHOST
all right pretty straightforward uh let's go ahead and take a look at this weight class and then we will get rolling uh so rank number one from penn state at 165 intermats preseason rankings is pj duke number two is nico ruiz from arizona state number three is joey blaze from purdue bryce heppner of north carolina uh is that number four number five is the darien lockett from oklahoma state six is will denny nc state Seven, Patty Gallagher from Oklahoma.
RoyHOST
Eight, Cam Catterbone from Michigan.
RoyHOST
Nine is Carter Schubert transferring over from Oklahoma to Iowa and going down a weight class.
8 MINS LATER
RalphHOST
It was very notable that Penn State is not wrestling Oklahoma State in any non-NCAA tournament format this year.
RalphHOST
So if it happens, it'll have to happen at NCAAs with a lot on the line.
RoyHOST
yeah okay yeah um i'm gonna go pj duke i think like pj duke is a fun guy to watch wrestle you know he's uh he's powerful a lot of fun and so i'll go for the rematch with the uh cam catcher bone and pj duke because the uh match i'm looking forward to seeing this year so um i think uh you know ham gives you that belief Doesn't matter.
RoyHOST
And, like, Darian's like that, too.
Zach SeykoHOST
But we'll cross that bridge if we get to that point.
Zach SeykoHOST
The most logical outcome here is, With Levi Haynes would be he goes to 74 Mitchell Messenbrink stays at 65 and then PJ Duke and Tyler K sack would naturally wrestle off at 57 and most people would say PJ Duke will probably hold down the spot, because that's how it went last season which would make sense status quo, and and the lineup is where it is at that spot.
Zach SeykoHOST
The other option here, again, that we got to discuss because it's still a possibility.
Zach SeykoHOST
If Levi Haynes doesn't get that eligibility because of Pennsylvania, because of whatever court ruling, again, the Colorado one, which would sweeping take it.
Zach SeykoHOST
So everybody might get their eligibility taken away at this court case doesn't grow the right way.
Zach SeykoHOST
So with that being said, if Levi Haynes is out of the lineup, Jeff, you and I kind of already discussed the possible hypothetical here is that Tyler K sack returns and goes right back in the lineup at 57, which makes a ton of sense.
Zach SeykoHOST
PJ Duke doesn't have to go through a severe of a weight cut and can be at a more of a natural weight class with one 65.
Zach SeykoHOST
And then Mitchell's kind of, In this spot where it's not favorable, but like you said, hey, these guys are all team players and just talking to Mitchell, the sentiment is he's just agreeable to whatever path that is.
David BrayPANELIST
Probably unlikely.
David BrayPANELIST
Yeah, that's like – I think the size like PJ Duke was too.
David BrayPANELIST
Yeah.
David BrayPANELIST
All right.
1 HR 6 MINS LATER
Tyler MeissnerPANELIST
Pritzloff.
David BrayPANELIST
Yep.
David BrayPANELIST
Penn State only had one guy on the list and it was PJ Duke with eight.
Tyler MeissnerPANELIST
JD, Kyle Snyder graduated in 2018.
RalphHOST
Yes.
RalphHOST
So there's a guy like PJ Duke can't redshirt.
RalphHOST
I mean, if you're rich, you can just like not start.
RalphHOST
Right.
25 MINS LATER
RalphHOST
You pick your favorite wrestler to watch and you pick your dream matchup.
RalphHOST
And it's a point-based system.
RalphHOST
So if I pick PJ Duke to not All-American, then I get nine minus one.
RalphHOST
I get eight points for that.
Antrell TaylorGUEST
So
Mike MalHOST
the only reason I bring that up is because, and I'm talking about that PJ Duke match in State College.
Mike MalHOST
That was the best example.
Mike MalHOST
Now, I'm going to be honest.
19 MINS LATER
Mike MalHOST
I'm talking about as a mind of the sport.
Mike MalHOST
Something that sticks to me.
Mike MalHOST
All the time is, and I keep going back to that match against PJ Duke and the crowd booing you so hard.
Antrell TaylorGUEST
They booed you
Zach SeykoHOST
He'd go in at 74.
Zach SeykoHOST
Mitchell Messenbrink is happy at 65 and PJ Duke's probably at 57, right? But in a crazy reality, maybe not so crazy, right? I kind of still think it is him coming off of the freestyle circuit at 174 pounds.
Zach SeykoHOST
Because people have speculated, what if he goes up to 184? That weight cut for PJ Duke is difficult to 157.
Zach SeykoHOST
He could do it, but it's not ideal.
Zach SeykoHOST
Mitchell Messenbrink, when we talked to him, he seems agreeable to go up to 174 for this season.
Zach SeykoHOST
So just want to mention that.
Zach SeykoHOST
Because that's definitely going to be in the cards for Levi Haynes sooner rather than later going up that weight class.
Zach SeykoHOST
Does he start that process now with this fifth season? And again, it's just, it's got a crazy domino effect because one way or another, it's either keeping out Tyler Kasak of the lineup because PJ Duke going to 57 or potentially bumping Rocco Welsh at 184.
