Penn State Wrestling SHOULD Be Worried About Oklahoma State & David Taylor?!
Should Penn State actually be worried about Oklahoma State and David Taylor? Zach Seyko breaks down why the Cowboys are closing the gap — not this season, not next season, but possibly in 2029 when recruiting timelines converge. He explains how Taylor strategically stacked classes to counter Penn State’s cycle, why the sport may shift to a 1A vs 1B dynamic between PSU and OSU, and what that means long term. Then he pivots to Iowa’s crossroads: should the Hawkeyes move on from the Brands brothers, and if so, do they hire Spencer Lee, Kyle Dake, Jordan Burroughs, or someone else?
