Any news on Cortez

[NoVa Lion]

If he can't wrestle until sitting out until the Illinois match than I'm a little confused on my perception of weight loss and the guidelines. I believe that you get certified to your lowest weight pre season and you have until Feb 15 to establish it. You're allowed to lose 1.5 % of your weight every week. In the case of Gulibon if he could weigh in at 140 one week and lose 2.2 pounds and weigh 137.8 the next week. He still could wrestle 141. In a month time he could drop to get to 133 . That is why I asked what he weighed his last couple of bouts. If coaches know Cortez is done they could be doing the weight loss protocol for Gulibon.

But every time he weighs in for 141 his weight resets to that weigh in so if he weighs in at 140 on Friday he now can't make it. Besides, as others have said that ship sailed some time ago. Time to give it a rest.

The obvious solution is to pull Hall's redshirt, and have him wrestle 133

But I thought the plan was for Hall to wrestle 141 and Jimmy was going to easily slide back into 133.

I thought Casey asked us to straighten this all out quite some time ago, so they could figure out precisely how to proceed.....

Cortez likely out for the season, per Cael. Law pulling weight, will wrestle off with Carpenter if and when he gets down to 133.

Looks like 9 instead of 10 to St Louis, but Carpenter IS improving, so that's a positive.

Point situation may or may not have been affected by this, we were not going to get too much there, but here is where we'll lose MAJOR points to all 3 of the main competitors in St Louis.

Fantastic restraint! I hope any delirium tremens you may be having are not too severe.

Also, thanks for the info, even though it is bad news.

Please don't joke about delirium tremens, I lost someone very close to me from that.
