Hosts Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel are back with the latest on head coach Cael Sanderson's program. This week's episode is heavy on recruiting talk with news of another honor for Aaron Brooks, as well. The duo start the show by breaking down the Nittany Lions' Class of 2024. MatScouts and InterMat both recently released their final team rankings for the latest recruiting cycle. Penn State leads both top 25 lists. It's not a surprise, as the program is bringing six top-100 wrestlers into the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex, including No. 1 pound-for-pound Pa., prep star Luke Lilledahl, who will wrestle at 125 pounds and possibly start this season, in addition to top-15 recruits Connor (No. 5, projects at 197 pounds) and Cole (No. 14/heavyweight) Mirasola from Wisconsin, New York's Zack Ryder (No. 6/174 or 184), Wyoming Seminary standout Joe Sealey (No. 8/165), and Jersey Shore's Brock Weiss (No. 91/157). Those rankings are courtesy of MatScouts. Penns Valley middleweight Ty Watson rounds out this year's signing group. It arrives on campus soon and a few members of it could find their way into the starting lineup. Why did Penn State have another successful recruiting run? Carr and Pickel discuss all of the reasons why. You can watch this week's Penn State wrestling show in the video player above and also on YouTube. Or, you can listen at your favorite destinations for audio like SPOTIFY and APPLE. From there, the conversation turns to Aaron Brooks. The four-time NCAA champ is the Penn State male athlete of the year. It puts him in line to be the Big Ten Male Athlete of the Year. That honor will be announced later this year. Carr and Pickel recap his time in State College as he looks ahead to the Olympic games. He will compete for Team USA at 86 kilograms this summer in France. The show closes with some notes on Class of 2026 recruiting. Coaches in multiple sports can now contact prospects in that cycle. Who are the early top targets to be aware of? Pickel and Carr discuss the name at the top, Bishop McCort star Bo Bassett, and other top targets to be aware of. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394 Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Doc's bio: Serving as Director of Campus Life Ensembles and Collaborative Arts, and as an Associate Professor of Music, Dr. Michael W. Nickens (a.k.a. Doc Nix) is most recognized as the leader of the “Green Machine”, which in 2015 was named the #1 pep band in college basketball by the NCAA and commended by the Senate and House of Delegates of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, Dr. Nickens launched Mason’s fife and drum corps and WGI world-champion drumline, and oversees Mason’s winterguard. This collection of performing units, known as the “Green Machine Ensembles”, are internationally known for their thrilling, high-energy performances at Mason ceremonies and basketball games, professional sports games and events (Capitals, Nationals, Wizards, and Redskins), community events (Celebrate Fairfax, and the Nike Women's’ Half Marathon), and marching competitions, as well as their popular internet videos that have over 100 million views collectively. Dr. Nickens was named the 2016 Faculty Member of the Year by the George Mason University Alumni Association. He served as a Faculty Representative to the Board of Visitors, Chair of the Faculty of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, Chair of the CVPA Diversity Committee, and as a member of the School of Music’s Graduate Committee. Having joined the faculty of Mason’s School of Music in fall 2006, he has taught courses in sight-singing/ear training, popular music in America, improvisatory music, brass methods, applied tuba, composition, chamber music, and jazz improvisation, as well as collaborations with Mason’s School of Dance. In addition, he was a co-founder and co-conductor of the Colonial Athletic Association’s “Breakfast with the Bands” intercollegiate pep band showcase. During summers, he has taught tuba and euphonium, conducting, jazz performance, composition, improvisation, chamber music, large ensemble performance, and theory at the Performing Arts Institute at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, Pennsylvania, the Music, Art, and Theatre (MAT) Camp in Evanston, Wyoming, and the Northern Arizona University Music Camp in Flagstaff, Arizona, and at Mason’s Potomac Arts Academy.

There isn’t a whole lot I’m going to go in-depth with tonight, but it’s now 2020 and oddly, this will be statistically the third decade I podcast. Yes, I realize that starting in 2009 and then going through all of the 10s into the 20s is basically 12 years, but whatever. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the wrestling scores and more from around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. In case you’re wondering, this will continue to be MOSTLY a weeknight show, since I also need to have some semblance of a life on weekends (but I still do the newsletter) and I figure most wrestling fans have an opportunity to consume what’s on the web on the weekend. Or, I’ll just do it on weekdays when relevant, because it’s my show. And probably nothing on Friday night, since I’m heading down to The Clash. Minnesota Beer of the Night: I’ve been kind of holding out on this one - it’s Castle Danger’s Castle Cream Ale. This was a small brewery in Castle Danger, Minnesota, which is a real place, but now it’s grown to the point it has its own spot in Two Harbors, just north of Duluth. This is a beer that if it’s on draft where you’re at, you buy it. It’s really everything I want in a beer. Not heavy, not hoppy, just smooth, crushable and awesome. I’ll be honest, it’s almost always in my fridge. New Patron: Mike Conley, a guy I’ve known a long time from his days wrestling at York High School in Virginia. York has a cool history and Yorktown itself is one of those places where history buffs can spend days on end and still not discover all the world-changing events that happened there. Thanks Mike for your support, but that’s the only love I’ll give to those Falcons - well, there’s that one time where I picked Jason Dye to win the state title. Jason Fulmore also jumped on, he’s the guy behind SoutheastWrestling.com. He’s trying to start something rolling there in the south when it comes to wrestling, I’d encourage you to give it a look. The Scuffle: Oklahoma State edged NC State 116-109 to win the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which kicked off the new year just right. Stanford was third. Oklahoma State just had one champ - Nick Piccininni at 125 pounds, while NC State crowned Hayden Hidlay the champ at 157 pounds. Stanford had three champs, most of any team, with titles coming from Real Woods at 141, unattached Jaden Abas at 149 and Shane Griffith at 165 pounds. Other titlists were Sammy Alvarez of Rutgers at 133, Penn State’s unattached true freshman Carter Starocci at 174, Lou DePrez of Binghamton at 184, West Virginia’s Noah Adams at 197 and Iowa State’s Gannon Gremmel at 285. DePrez avenged an early-season loss to NC State’s Trent Hidlay 3-2. OW went to Adams, who pinned Stanford’s Nathan Traxler in the finals. Yes, thank you Cliff Fretwell. Full results on FloArena. In Duals Light night in duals, but Fresno State hosted Cal Poly and Utah Valley to kick off the new year at the SaveMart Center. In the opening dual, Fresno State won six of ten bouts with a fall coming from Brandon Martino at 174 to beat the visiting Mustangs 24-16. While Cal Poly had a chance going into the final match, Jacob Wright’s 7-6 decision at 157 pounds closed out the win for the Bulldogs. Fresno State rallied from a 19-12 deficit to win the last two matches to beat Utah Valley 24-19. Big match there came at 285 as Tate Orndorff knocked off Josh Hokit 3-1. Greg Gaxiola was leading 6-1 in the second period when he earned an injury default win over Brigg Hoopes. That set the stage for the final bout where Wright got up big on Jerry Rubio and finished the dual off with a fall with 40 seconds to go. In Division II, Augustana (S.D.) upended No. 23 Western Colorado 24-12 in Sioux Falls. The Vikings won five of the last six matches to close things out. Notables on the Docket: Long Island University heads through Pennsylvania to take on Bloomsburg, while No. 5 Virginia Tech heads to Mount Pleasant, Michigan to take on No. 24 Central Michigan. In the NAIA, Menlo will host the Menlo duals with Arizona Christian, Northwestern (Iowa), and Simpson (Calif.). The heavy stuff won’t be coming down for an hour or so, or Saturday, if you’re wondering. FROM THE DWN: TheMat.com released its Top 10 stories of 2019 and they mean by analytics, not the actual best stories of the year. Analytics. Yay. Math. TheMat.com has also gone to the Rooskies! Ok, partially kidding, but Petr Pavlov, a Russian journalist, rates the strongest freestyle wrestlers of 2019. The other Roger Moore recaps the Southern Scuffle with a good ol’ gamer for TheMat.com as well. No word on whether or not J.D. Rader actually got to go to the bathroom on Wednesday. Trackwrestling’s Clay Sauerteig, one of the most personally prolific Twitter follows in the history of the universe, gives us a high school update from the break, focusing on Wyoming Seminary and its victory at the POWERade in Western Pennsylvania. The Al and Josh Show, a podcast in Minnesota focusing on a number of areas of the state’s wrestling scene, previews The Clash, which kicks off on Friday down in Rochester, Minnesota. I solely listen because they constantly give me shout outs. Sadly, they also give them to Mack Reiter as well. Samantha Scovel of NCAA.com wrote a piece a couple of days ago on the top freshman in NCAA Division I right now, I didn’t do a Shots that day, so I’ll link it back up in this episode’s show nots. Matt Dernlan and Ben Askren are back with The Rudis Podcast, talking about The Midlands. Got some news forthcoming about that show, too. Check out the video feature from IAWrestle.com on Keegan Shaw. They define him as a “very unique fellow.” FivePointMove.com named G’Angelo Hancock and Max Nowry its Athletes of the Year. No, I don’t need a descriptor that says Greco-Roman, you know 5PM is a Greco site. On The Network Just this one. It should be noted that I pushed out 448 podcast episodes in 2019. How many hours of content was provided by my shows and our friends on the network? Math problems. So I did the math - the network pushed out just north of 273 hours of audio content. It would take you 34 days listening eight hours a day to finish. Or just one bowl of Colon Blow. Not on the network, but social media donk Darren Rovell blocked me on Twitter today. Surprised it took him this long. Who’s Darren Rovell? No one, really. You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

It’s Friday the 13th. It was perhaps the only cool thing about growing up with the name Jason. The whole mythological thing with the Argonauts hadn’t quite resonated just yet - and since I didn’t go to school at the University of Providence or play in Toronto in the CFL, those references were lost on me - just like those two COULD be lost on you. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from in and around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. Before we get to the college action, the Walsh Ironman, one of the best high school wrestling tournaments in the universe is rolling on in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. To keep with the theme, Wyoming Seminary coach Scott Green says Sem has 13 entered, 13 survived on the 13th. Somewhat witty. No truth to the rumor Coach Green was at Wing Warehouse with the seedy underbelly of the wrestling internet. Sometimes you get interrupted from recording a show by three people in said town of Cuyahoga Falls. Minnesota Beer of the Night: You probably won’t find it by the time you get here for the NCAA Division I Championships, but it’s Surly’s Black Horsemen, which is brewed in collaboration with those fun-loving metal heads at King Diamond. Yes, THAT King Diamond. It’s a Danish style black lager - a style I fell in love with when I was at the Junior World Championships in Trnava, Slovakia in 2018. This isn’t quite as awesome as what I had over there, but it’s delicious and perfect at five percent - remember, I’m on untappd at jasonbryant12. New Patron: Pat Fitzgerald. Yup. That one. Thanks Pat for your support over the years. Dual Meets: No. 6 NC State doubled up Appalachian State 24-12 with Nick Reenan making his return to the Wolfpack lineup at 197 pounds. Reenan beat Paul Carson 4-3, scoring a takedown in the third to pick up the W. Hayden Hidlay cruised to a 16-3 major decision over App State’s Matt Zovistoski at 157 pounds. D.J. Fehlman’s 9-3 win at 133 pounds in the dual’s final bout was enough to push Lock Haven past Navy 19-13 in the Rumble in the Jungle at Red Lion High School in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. Shout out to Red Lion head coach, Mike “The Nite Fox” Catullo. In Division II, the Battlers of Alderson Broaddus beat NAIA West Virginia Tech 33-16 in Beckley - that’s in West Virginia. Top-ranked St. Cloud State moved within one win of tying the Division II dual meet win streak record - one that they hold - after beating Northern State 29-9. The Huskies have won 53 in a row. Northern State’s James Burks did beat St. Cloud State’s James Pleski 7-5 at 157, so that’s a notable one there. Augsburg, ranked fourth in Division III, topped Division II Southwest Minnesota State on Friday in Minneapolis. The Auggies won six of 10 and top-ranked Ryan Epps earned a fall at 4:51 at 165 pounds. You know those kids books, if you give a mouse a cookie or if you give a moose a muffin? Well, if you mention Augsburg, you’re going to have to mention Wartburg. Top-ranked Wartburg - that’s in the dual rankings - beat Cornell College 43-2. Also, UW-Eau Claire beat UW-Stevens Point 25-17. There was a slew of duals at the Pigeon Forge Duals in Tennessee, most of which were NAIA teams. No. 5 Campbellsville and No. 2 Reinhardt both went 4-0, while No. 10 Life went 3-0. Keiser, a first-year program in Florida, picked up two wins, but according to NAIA rules, only one of them was official - the 39-18 win over Bluefield. There was the win over NJCAA Southwest Virginia, but matches against two-year schools don’t count for NAIA schools. Buried the lede there - Keiser got its first win in school history! Concordia (Neb.) beat Midland 54-(-1) - yes, that’s negative. No report from the dual in Reno between Montana State-Northern and Eastern Oregon. Out west, Highline beat Big Bend 31-18. Notables on the Docket: There’s the UNI Open, LIU is at Drexel, Lock Haven is hosting some D3 schools while Chattanooga heads to No. 11 Iowa State. In Division II, there’s the monster tournament at Indianapolis, the Midwest Classic, while West Liberty faces Pitt-Johnstown. There’s like 40 duals in Division III, while Indiana Tech and Nebraska Wesleyan are hosting multi-team events. FROM THE DWN: Will Anthony Cassar break away from the U.S. and represent another nation in future Olympic Games? Well, if that isn’t a clickbait headline, I don’t know what is. Best part about that statement is its not a headline, but a throwaway line in a story from LovingMalta.com about the Penn State heavyweight. Apparently he’s of Maltese lineage - the country, not the breed of dog. The Mid-American Conference released its conference rankings, some of which seem to be devoid of results that happened within the past week. Trackwrestling’s Seven Minutes series with host Kyle Klingman talks with THE Ohio State University head coach Tom Ryan. Kyle also drops the third episode of How Wrestling Built Me with entrepreneur Joe Johnson of VADE Nutrition. TheMat.com previews the athletes you’ll be seeing in Fort Worth next weekend at the U.S. Senior Nationals. That’s the name of it this year, since it’s not the Open, but it is the Open, but - anyway - of note, Tyler Graff going Greco. Lots of stuff out there on the Ironman, so here’s a quick link to InterMat’s semifinal matchups and team scores, because, well, it’s free. The NWCA has announced the Jim Koch Division II Hall of Fame for 2020. Super talented field with representation from North Dakota State, Chadron State, Augustana (S.D.) and Northern Colorado. Little Rock drops a feature about its wrestling twins, Jaylen and Jayden Carson. Big UFC card this weekend as a couple of wrestlers meet up - Kamarudeen “Marty” Usman and Colby Covington. Marty isn’t a dig, that’s just how I knew him. Resident fighter derelict Jon “Bones” Jones doesn’t care much for Covington. Well, they both suck at life, so there’s that. Here’s what Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports said about it. Sure, they could beat the crap out of me, but yeah, take world capitals for $1,200 and see how they do there, Alex. On The Network The Trackwrestling offerings - Seven Minutes and How Wrestling Built Me - will be on the Mat Talk Podcast Network at some point over the weekend. They might already be there.

Canada takes this one in a landslide folks. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily recap of the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. What does Canada take? Well, as I checked into the Fallsview Marriott, I looked out the window to see the most glorious sight I’ve ever seen out of a hotel window at a wrestling event. Seriously, Wrestling Canada Lutte (you have to say Lutte) has at least made one person happy so far. By the way, it’s also not everyday you get picked up at the airport by an Olympic medalist. As far as picking up Olympic medalists, I’ve done that way more. Not quite like smoking fake pot with Peter Frampton, but you get the idea. Yes, a Mitch Hedberg reference. Also, Niagara Brewing Company has some first-class stuff. To the scores! Dual Meets: Kentucky Wesleyan won its first dual in school history on Tuesday night. Well guess what, they have their first winning streak as the Panthers beat NAIA Thomas More 28-21to win the school’s second dual ever and second in a row. Kentucky Wesleyan stormed out to a 28-0 lead and put it in cruise control from there. Mount Olive topped Lander 24-23 in a matchup of first year teams. With the dual on the line, Mount Olive’s Drew Weichers’ major decision at 157 pounds in the dual’s final bout was enough to give the Trojans the win, spoiling the dual debut of the Lander Bearcats. In Division III, Westminster beat Fontbonne 31-18, Thiel beat Pitt-Bradford 50-6, while UW-Platteville beat UW-Stevens Point 25-15. Stevens Point’s Matt Berlin remained unbeaten at 13-0 with a fall at 133 pounds. Division III Millikin, ranked No. 18, beat Lincoln, which is in its first year active as an NAIA school, 41-12. Southern Virginia defeated NJCAA Southwest Virginia 33-15. In the NAIA, Grand View won its 81st straight dual, but it wasn’t a blowout. The Vikings won six of 10 to defeat Baker 27-15. Five bouts were decided by two points or less. No. 10 Life trounced Truett McConnell 46-5. In Kansas at Olathe South High School, Ottawa beat Central Christian 45-9. In the desert, Embry-Riddle beat Arizona Christian 35-15. On the women’s side, No. 14 Missouri Valley beat No. 20 Saint Mary (Kansas) 28-15 to pick up their first win of the season. No report from the women’s dual between Fontbonne and Westminster. Notables on the Docket: Just a pair of duals in Division I as Bucknell hosts Bloomsburg, which is right down the road, unless you’re in a snowstorm like I was back in 2011 or ‘12. Wrestling’s version of the Backyard Brawl goes down in Morgantown as West Virginia hosts Pittsburgh. Anyone ever hear the story about the Pitt PA announcer asking the fans if anyone owned a tractor with West Virginia plates E-I-E-I-O, because its lights were on? WVU came back to win that game, by the way. True story. In Division II, Colorado Mesa (formerly known as Mesa State) hosts Western Colorado (formerly known as Western State and Western State Colorado), Emmanuel faces McKendree, MSU-Moorhead faces Northern State in the Northern Sun Conference. Central Oklahoma will face off with NAIA Oklahoma City. Lourdes, which just added a women’s team, will face Adrian, North Central’s at Wheaton, while Simpson (Iowa) hosts a tri-meet with Central College and Augustana (Ill.) In the NAIA, apparently Lindenwood-Belleville is at Lyon. I’d love to know what’s going on at Belleville, since my emails to the sports information office and coaching staff have gone unreturned. As have my phone calls. Does anyone return calls anymore? Missouri Valley is at Graceland and Concordia (Neb.) is at Morningside. On the women’s side, East Stroudsburg and King head to Ferrum for a tri-meet in the only reported action scheduled on Thursday. I’m going to suggest heading to TransitionWrestling.com for the minutiae of women’s wrestling. Yes, Gabby gets more plugs. FROM THE DWN: In the wake of the gigantic outpouring of support for Iowa alum Brandon Sorensen and his fight against leukemia, another Iowa wrestler could also use help from the wrestling community. Justin Portillo has set up a GoFundMe for Grand View women’s wrestler Jas Alexander. She was in a horrific car accident on her way to volunteer at a wrestling event in Waterloo several weeks ago. Sorensen’s GoFundMe raised over $66,000 in 18 hours (and it’s still growing). Jas transferred to Grand View to join the wrestling team there in her senior season. She is showing resiliency and could use a hand there, too. The Oklahoma State student newspaper, the O’Colly, does a solid feature on Anthony Montalvo, explaining his hardships growing up that involved poverty and abuse. NJ.com’s Bill Evans looks into the careers of three former New Jersey standouts who are waiting to enroll at Cornell, but are taking greyshirt years. MLive.com features Pennsylvania high school standout Gaige Garcia, a two-sport athlete who plans on playing football and wrestling at Michigan. St. Cloud State’s 52-match win streak is re-capturing the attention of its local news media as WJON reports. The Huskies set the Division II record a few years ago at 54 in a row. They’re in line to beat their own record. Craig Sesker writes about Sorensen for The Predicament. Trackwrestling released its first set of high school wrestling rankings. I did high school rankings from 1997 to 2005. I also did some high school research when I was with The Open Mat. Yup, not something I ever want to do again. Track, Willie, whoever else, go for it.
