2022 Southern scuffle

He was out! Then he shot back in before the point was awarded and never got the point. Disappointing.
I doubt that Seth would have won even if he got the escape. He's just not ready yet to go three periods.
People need to just settle on the fact that right now Alex is redshirting. Casey said as much the other week. I don’t expect to see him or SVN any more this season unless they’re wrestling unattached in one of those lower level tourneys.
You would think coaches yelling “GET YER ONE!” from schoolboys on up would stick with kids, and yet.
Exactly and next year when they roll out they will look a lot different because of it. I remember when Zain took that year off and came back it was a completely different wrestler we were seeing although his redshirt was his sophomore year but same idea
Thanks for your unsolicited suggestion. I’ll take it into consideration. Or, I won’t.
It is a shame to let such good talent go to waste, especially for a kid that was committed to us out of high school, while we still have holes in other parts of the lineup. Hopefully Cael will figure it out.
Might not need as many points at 165 and 157 …. Take it for what it’s worth but Mineo saying Spencer Lee is out for the season.
Whatever floats your boat, smart guy. Go ahead and bang your head against the wall all you like, it’s not gonna make a lick of difference.

As of today, if Facundo’s RS was pulled, he’d wrestle:
Maryland: NR (but beat Facundo)
Indiana: NR
Michigan: 11
Iowa: 1
OSU: 6
Nebraska: NR
Rider: NR
Guys he could see at B1Gs: #9 Hamiti, #20 Braunagel, #21 Sparks.
Likely a losing B1G record heading into the conference tournament.

No problem, don’t mind if I do. Plans to redshirt can change, just ask Mark Hall.
Facundo scores more than Edsell, IMO. Burning the redshirt is completely irrelevant. He can shirt next year. We won’t need any points at 165 to win a title next year. This year we might.
If Spencer is done as previously stated (reported by Mineo, and talk of it on HR), does that change anyones opinion of pulling Facundo's shirt? I'm in the boat of not pulling it either way, but some view it different. But to those that want the shirt to be pulled, if Spencer is indeed done, that means Iowa won't score near the points. I have been super impressed with Ayala and think he's a better option than Ybarra, but I don't think they pull his shirt either. I'm interested to see if this changes anyones view.
Pulling Facundo’s shirt right now would be malpractice.
frankly a lot more to like in that loss than in a lot of his wins. opened up quite a bit. one consequence of not being a willing attacker is that you end up not being a great finisher because you don’t put yourself in those positions enough. the best way to learn is exposure and experience. DT talks about this a lot. if he opens up like that in the rest of his matches, he might lose more this year, but he’ll be a better wrestler for it in the long run. it’s a perfect case for a redshirt. he’s not far away.
If I were Cael, watching both of those matches today, pulling his shirt wouldn’t enter my mind.
Not just point scoring skill is lacking, but mat IQ. He’s too cautious and isn’t a) attacking enough b) not putting himself in situations to convert ugly attempts, let alone clean ones.

I’d imagine Spencer also goes to practice and wrestles people there, too. Plenty of opportunity to hurt yourself.
Hell, my NCAA track career ended when I slipped on black ice, walking to class.

You're right, I had not seen anything about him being done. So, I guess I missed it.
Is what it is. If you want to be in the lineup you have to win in the room. That is the priceless thing about wrestling. The are no politics or favoritism. You win or lose your spot on the mat!
Good question.
For me, doesn’t change much. Kind of thought he should RS before and do now.
Beard could do our 197s a collective huge favor by beating Elam. Seeding and all that jazz.
I think too many of our wrestling board members were drinking 'Sudden Wisdom' last night. My cousin told me his son-in-law said too much of 'Sudden Wisdom' Kentucky bourbon and it's instant azzhole!
Looks like we ride with the Edsall...as in Creighton. Well...r12 as his ceiling who knows? Gonna give up points no matter what at 57 and 65 to Iowa anyway. Gotta do it bonus style again!
Donovan Ball with a 12-1 MD in consys.
Let it be. Hildebrand is on the scene. Ride 125, 133, 141, 149, 174, 184, 198, and 285 to the title. There is 120 pts there.
I think Ayala is an AA for sure, he might even surprise. Loosing Spencer would be huge but far from a 20 point loss.
Likewise, Hildy is far from an automatic AA. We all are optimistic, but he needs some serious mat time over the next 2 months. He didn't dominate his way to 4th last year and this Year's field is much deeper. If he gets a poor seed it could prove challenging.
Back to Lee. If true I am more bummed at no Suriano vs Lee, than happy about Iowa losing any points. Lee Vs Arujau would have been great too.
