CDT: Lions, Jenkins cut ties
Bubba Jenkins will make his final run at becoming a NCAA champion somewhere other than Penn State. Jenkins, a former NCAA finalist with one year of eligibility remaining, learned shortly before the semester break from coach Cael Sanderson that he would be receiving a release from his scholarship.
The decision was made by Penn State’s coaching staff, something Jenkins and Sanderson confirmed Thursday.“It was definitely forced upon me,” Jenkins said. “I respect Cael’s decision and I know he’s trying to do what’s good for the team and the program. I’m not mad at him. It’s just part of the game.”

Head coach Cael Sanderson confirmed Wednesday that redshirting senior Bubba Jenkins has left the Penn State wrestling team.
Jenkins redshirted the first half the 2009-10 because of academic ineligibility. In three seasons as a Nittany Lion, Jenkins amassed a 73-21 record.
“Bubba won’t be here next semester,” Sanderson said in a phone conversation. “I don’t know [about his future] for sure. We’re taking requests for releases and that kind of thing, but he won’t be here.”

Collegian: Records on line at Nittany Lion Open

True freshman David Taylor jogged back and forth from the end of the blue and white mat to the wall that read “Penn State Wrestling.”
As Taylor approached the wall another time, he jumped and kicked off it — attempting what looked like a karate move on the immovable object. Warming up next to Taylor was Brad Pataky, who focused straight ahead, seemingly unaware of any karate moves or other people jogging beside him.

Collegian: Jenkins barely misses weight
By Brendan Monahan
Collegian Staff Writer
Bubba Jenkins attributed his drenched undergarments as one of the reasons why he wrestled in a heavier weight class on Saturday at the Mat Town Open.
Jenkins said he prefers performing drills before weigh-ins and didn’t get a chance to carry them out on Saturday. He said he didn’t perform his normal ritual because of an early weigh-in and his preference of avoiding drills while the mats are filled with other wrestlers.
Heavier clothing and less exercise resulted with Jenkins weighing at 157.4 pounds and wrestling two classes over his normal 149-pound weight class.
