BWI PSU user named Diceman posted about a hammer decommitting and joining

Penn State during the week of the '25 NCAAs which ended up being James. If I remember correctly, the poster mentioned that James re-opened his recruitment ironically after watching Bo's recruitment and eventual commitment to Iowa. James felt he had committed too early and re-opened his recruitment. PSU and OkSU were already involved but immediately became co-leads in the James sweepstakes. Cael was able to close/overtake Taylor because of their success and resources and another major factor was James trained with a couple PSU wrestlers/commits including PJ Duke and Henckel (?) at M2 Training Center in NY. There's likely more to the story, but Diceman called the decommitment at the NCAAs prior to the news going public and has provided PSU insider information on BWI. ** Edited by VTDante at 5/6/2026, 9:48:32 AM
