Coach Pacora signs some more local talent

Shane Valko has signed a letter on intent to wrestle at UPJ...Any thoughts or comments.

I wish him the best of luck but I do hope he gets that ego of his knocked down a few notches.

kudos to pecora, i think valko will be an all-amerivan before he graduates

Valko is an animal, does anyone know of anyone else that will be joining the mountain cat team?

Nothing against Valko or UPJ, but I thought that he would want to wrestle division I. However, I bet he can't beat either Brambley or Reasey right now.

will he be at 125 or 133 next year (or a redshirt?)

i wouldn't count on that.valko is more advanced as a senior than either tom or brandon were as seniors. valko got hosed at states and in my humble opinion would have been a state champ if the referee would have called the right stalling calls

I agree, he did get the short end of the stick at states, in the same token I am sure we could all sit and name a list of people who should have and would have if this or that would have or have not happened. It all goes along with the sport

There's no way that Valko is better than Reasy. Reasy was a better wrestler his senior year than Valko. He'll get pounded against Reasy.

That's the beauty of wrestling. They'll decide that in the wrestling room. But as far as UPJ goes, that's a great sign for them. With Whetstone and Valko in fold they can do nothing but get better in the coming years! That's why they are one of the top D II programs in the country. Congratulations to Shane and UPJ, they both made out in this deal.

BTW- For anyone interested, Tate signed with Edinboro to wrestle for the Fightin' Scots.
