Anthony Knox and dad drama

Yeah. Insane. More to the story than I heard the other day. If what I heard is true no way they appealing this
What appeal would they have anyway -- cops cuffed the wrong wrestler?
Just wonder if this makes Knox appealing enough to Iowa that someone other than Telford calls him.
I am sure Mr. Knox is devastated that his actions led to this horrible repercussion for his son. Edit: I had not read the article prior to my comment and didn't realize Anthony was detained/arrested also, so Anthony obviously had a big part to play in his suspension. That being said, my assumption is Anthony wouldn't have gone into the stands if his father hadn't gone into the stands first.

Cornell cannot have that stain on their roster they should send him to Iowa.
I'm thinking Rutgers - they like the fighting spirit!
Back when he was being recruited my son told me he wanted to go to Iowa and his dad wanted Ivy. At this point…who the hell knowsI'm thinking Rutgers - they like the fighting spirit!
That Billy George case was bad, especially considering it cost his opponent a chance to wrestle in the post season.
I am going off of memory because I couldn't find anything during my computer search, but George kneed an opponent in the head, giving him a serious concussion and causing him to miss the NCAA post season. At least that is my memory of it.
Iowa was not his top choice at first. His top choice at first was Penn State but Cael showed little interest from what I heard. He also wanted to go to Rutgers to wrestle with his former HS teammate but i don’t think either of them wanted to move up to 133.
Iowa came into play especially with their large NIL funds.
I don’t think Cornell revokes his scholarship. If they do, then look at Rutgers and Ohio State to make a big push
From what I heard, if he gets charged with anything Cornell will not take him. If not, he’ll be there.
Pretty close.
It was Nate Brown in an EIWA consi winner-takes-all match. Brown won and qualified for NCAAs, George lost and didn't.
At the end of the match, Brown took a shot at the edge that George thought was out of bounds and/or after the whistle. With Brown still on the mat, George grabbed his head and kneed him in the face.
Brown suffered a concussion and was not cleared to compete at nationals.
This was the ugliest incident I've ever seen on the mat. The DeSanto-Micic incident is like a flower garden by comparison.

Well he is the head coach of Long Branch in the jersey shore conference, never liked his antics and this makes be feel better about not liking him
Not counting arm bars or leverage on knee that goes to far. The one incident I'll remember was up Bloomsburg 1980.
Iowa St comes in wearing the traditional robes. I think they were top 5 in country. Bloomsburg was probably top 20. Mike Nock ? was Bloomsburg 118 pounder and he was a little tilted. Iowa St. had a tough kid at that weight. Figure 4 across waist with a half was allowed back then. It was boring and a bitch to get out of. Guys would try to get to their feet and break the leg across waist. Nock gets to feet twice and ref stops it for potential dangerous. The third time was the last time., Nock gets to his feet and before ref blows whistle Nock does a backward slam on kid. He got dq'd, the Iowa St. kid was on mat for 10 minutes trying to catch his breath .
Note about the team match. Bloomsburg scored 2 points. Don Reese tied his opponent. A couple years later Don Reese lost in National Finals to CB Mock.
Pfft. Like Cornell doesn’t have lawyers for him. 🙄😉
I'm glad that Knox was suspended for the remainder of the tourney. What could be so horrible that the kid's dad had to walk across the gym to confront fans from a rival team? And then all the fake Jersey machismo from Anthony that he had to go defend his dad. If his dad started the mess....let him finish it. What a bunch of fools! Let Cornell have him...real character on display here
LOL...I had to laugh at the super respectful and loving tweet from Anthony after this incident 😁

Just to give some insight into the situation. SJV wrestled in a new district then they normally do and wrestling in a district that’s nearly an hour and a half away from them. The gym was unhappy with SJV being part of their district since only top 3 from each weight advance from districts to regions and SJV qualified all but 1 weight (2 now with the DQ of Knox).I'm glad that Knox was suspended for the remainder of the tourney.

The gym was not happy with SJVs success that day and when the SJV 190lber lost in the finals, a few parents from the other schools showed their spirit and 1 father of another team was showing his middle finger to the wrestler that just lost. That is when Knox’s dad confronted the gentleman. Not saying it was the right move and defending him, but i respect him for sticking up for a wrestler that cannot. Anthony Jr should have known better
The way Cornell has fallen off the past few years, there’s no way Cornell cuts him. Outside of being charged with attempted murder, he will be in Ithaca.
It’s amazing how much Cornell has disintegrated under Grey. If Shapiro doesn’t pan out, (these concussions are concerning), I don’t think they will land another top guy that the big 5-6 schools also want. A few years ago they always had 3-4 good looking young prospects. Now the casual fan could not name 2 starters for the Big Red. I’m not sure I can name 3.
Btw, I’m afraid for my safety when Mrs Grey reads my post
Cornell has fallen off? They came in second last year at NCAAs. True, it was a very distant second, but it was still second.The way Cornell has fallen off the past few years, there’s no way Cornell cuts him. Outside of being charged with attempted murder, he will be in Ithaca.

Also, Cornel can't revoke his scholarship. The Ivies don't have them.
This video shows multiple views of the incident. The second video shows the son's involvement:

The incident was in 2012, at 174.
In 2013 George moved up to 197. Whether he couldn't make 174 or lost out to Duke Pickett, whatever. Bosak was at 184, so that wasn't an option. George lost out at 197 to Jace Bennett. But he did start in both of Cornell's first 2 competitions, the Binghamton Open and the Binghamton dual. If he were suspended, Cornell could've not used him in those, right?
It's on Track.
Thanks for the context. I mildly differ where the line of “sticking up for” is positioned. Somewhat happy my son looks to be interested in cross country and possibly track. Not too many brawls over a wider elbow on the last turn of an 800 race.
Also, Knox's dad "confronted" the gentleman by walking across the gym, going into the stands where he knew the opposing side who clearly did not like the SJV people were sitting. Now, the person showing the birds to the SJV wrestler who lost is classless, but does Knox's dad not have the ability to control himself to the point where he needs to do what he did. As for Knox himself, if I saw my dad go into an opposing sides area and get into a fight I am not sure I would be thinking clearly either and might have jumped in as well. He probably was not thinking anything other than " I have to help my dad". I put the blame for this entirely on the father.
I don’t think anybody is saying people couldn’t have done better. I’m just questioning what exactly requires defense against a finger gesture. IMO about a “c’mon, man, be better!” at a non-threatening distance is about the max response needed.
Apparently Knox Sr's retaliatory middle fingers only work in conjuction with the rest of his fists, and at point-blank range.
Who the hell was reffing that melee, Angel Rivera? I distinctly saw a takedown, but no 3 was given, even after review.
