I would assume PSU will pursue harder. Not sure if he wants to go that far away. Maybe makes guys more wary of the offers they give. (Assuming they are getting creative)

I haven't followed the Suriano thing closely. Was the main issue there that he wanted to move to 133 and they wanted him at 125 or was there more to it? Penn State becoming more of a player for anyone we're pursuing worries me.
I don't know the answer here, but this makes sense. Suriano looks like a massive 125, so I'm sure he's cutting a bunch, and that sucks. A little cut? Fine, but it looked to me like he was cutting a lot more than a little, even as a freshman.
I agree he was huge, especially for a true freshman. Cael has always preached that he'd rather focus on guys being at their best more so than cutting weight so it seems odd. I suppose when the room is that loaded it's easy for him to dictate where guys are going to land weight-wise. I wonder if this would've gone down differently is Suriano didn't get hurt last season. He had a great shot at winning it all before the injury. Helluva pickup for Rutgers.
My understanding is Suriano was wanting to go back home and that he did t "fit" with the rest of the guys and just kept to himself.
Ps- Remember when I said Iowa falsely told Mejia they could get him admitted and that he was nolonger going there....... Mejia to IL.

Former Dodger Sam Cook just decided to switch from football to wrestling at Iowa. Supposedly him and Teske are very close.
Teske's recruiting is extremely interesting. Every time I think he's going one way, something happens and there's a reason to think he'll go somewhere else.

Remember when I said he wouldn't be going to Iowa, either? Despite his commitment? That's not to say there isn't truth to what you're saying.
I'm also fairly confident that though he's going "to Illinois" it isn't the University of Illinois.
Is he getting any $$ for wrestling? I know he was a walk on at iowa. He had a full ride at okie for wrestling. Went to football because he wanted to eat and not worry, and now if he is a walk on, that could be a big financial decision.
Walk on per a big article in the DM Register yesterday (or maybe in the print edition today):
Former Fort Dodge star Sam Cook to walk on to Iowa wrestling team

He didn't have a full wrestling ride to OK. That was a misunderstanding on the part of a reporter.
What is interesting about FD is almost all their big wrestlers are from there and went through youth programs their whole lives. I remember all the previous named kids that are juniors or seniors at youth tourneys. Cook was the only one to move in and he moved in right before junior high.
My son was at a camp this summer with Pritchard (think thats his name, the wrestler from indianola missing a leg) and he said he moving to SEP. I had heard they received another transfer but can't remember their name off the top of my head. It takes many years to build up the talent and is rough when someone leaves with 1-2 years left.
