That would be Loco... Lion. He can just e-mail... Cael. Save himself the trip. Just kidding... Spyker. Love your love of our wrestling team. If loving that is wrong... I don't want to be right.Want to know prognosis please. Spyker, just waltz over to the practice room and ask dammit
I would think 5 or 6 minimum.Thanks Ames...wishing him a quick and complete recovery!
Now to figure out what a handful means... At least in terms of months.
too badHe will have surgery and be out close to a handful of months.
Better than it happening in Oct or Mid-FebHeard 4 months today on FLO's FRL...☹️
Not good. As I understand it, the injury is to the same shoulder as the first time. IMO, the likelihood of a same-shoulder injury happening again is.........high! The entire situation is very unfortunate for him and us.4 months gets him back in the room (possibly) by October/November.... Could be worse.
THAT post was loaded with innuendo! LOVED IT!!That would be Loco... Lion. He can just e-mail... Cael. Save himself the trip. Just kidding... Spyker. Love your love of our wrestling team. If loving that is wrong... I don't want to be right.

Navarro Bowman had a special procedure wrapping the tendon around the rotator cuff (something like that) to prevent further dislocations. He never had a problem again. Not sure why that particular procedure isn't used more.
It will be interesting to see what Cael works out as his plan B. If Rasheed can beat out Cutch at 184, does Cutch bump up to 197 and face off against Stout for the spot? And if Rasheed is the best option at 184, would Cael bump him up to 197 until Cassar makes it back? Would he be undersized the entire time considering he can't get too big so he can drop back down to 184 when Cassar returns right? I guess if Cutch is the best option at 184 then it doesn't matter does it. Rasheed can pack on muscle and weight and duke it out with Cassar a/o Stout for that spot. I just think if Rasheed is our best option at 184 he stays there no matter what and someone else fills in at 197.Well this means plan B needs to be worked. Seen this before with Nevills, and by the time he comes back, he may, or may not be right.
I would guess that it's possible that Rasheed now moves up to 197. Yep, three weights up, but that might be one option.
"Best option at 184" might not be what's best for the entire team, unless the coaches think one of them will unseat Gabe Dean.It will be interesting to see what Cael works out as his plan B.

Makes complete sense. I guess my thinking is... or should I say the assumption and I'm making and one the coaches will make is that Cassar will return in time for the Bigs and win the spot at 197. If that's the case, I don't see Cael bumping up Rasheed if he is our best option at 184 even if it makes us a better dual team. It's all about the tournament and to me your best option at 184 stays at 184 period."Best option at 184" might not be what's best for the entire team, unless the coaches think one of them will unseat Gabe Dean.
Hypothetical #1: Both guys project to place at 184, and only 1 projects to place at 197. Then go get the points at both weights.
Hypothetical #2: Mouse beats Shakur and projects better at both weights. But his back acts up, and the coaches aren't comfortable with him being the only 184 option. Then they might mitigate risk by putting Shakur at 184 and Mouse/Stout at 197.
One thing I don't think will happen: seriously doubt the coaches will tell either of them "Go up to 197 but be ready to return to 184." That guy would be at a strength disadvantage all year -- especially if he doesn't drop.
I would think 5 or 6 minimum.
I would also think we won't see him compete until January at best.
"My old man 's ... got this ULLtimate set of tools ..."Nahh - he'll be back light wrestling in October and in matches in mid to late Nov. Don't worry. As Spiccoli said in Fast Times, "Yeeeaaah, I can fix it."
"My old man 's ... got this ULLtimate set of tools ..."
But let's hope nobody has to Sharpie "Lincoln Surf Punks Rule" onto Cassar!

As far as who mans 184 and 197, love the discussion. Depending on how long this goes, late season moves can be problematic. A wrestler with few matches at a new weight class may not have enough bouts to qualify the weight for the Big Ten. .
Do they have to qualify for the big 10? I guess I never realized that.
Too many examples of the lasting effects of some surgeries, and a wrestler's readiness afterwards. Like most here, I am optimistic (though cautiously so). I really want Anthony to have a chance to reach his dreams.

A wrestler with few matches at a new weight class may not have enough bouts to qualify the weight for the Big Ten. Then there's the descent rules if a wrestler goes 197, and must go back to 184...it takes about 5 weeks AND a wrestler must be down to their tournament weight by February 15. Lots to consider for the coaches...OR this could go smoothly, with an early plan that falls into place!! Let's hope that's the case.
Two wrestlers who reach the round of 12 are probably going to earn about 9-12 team points ... total. One wrestler who finishes 3rd or 4th can score around 13-16 team points.
I would go all in with the winner of wrestle-offs at 184 and hope he can go deep. At 197 I'd go with next man up.
I haven't heard much about Stout, but as a rule of thumb there is a difference measured in miles between an incoming freshman's skills and capabilities and that of the same kid one year after developing in that wrestling room.Is AJ Nevills definitely redshirting? He may be a better option than Stout.
Brown spent his freshman year behind Ruth, wrestling almost exclusively in tournaments at 174. He wrestled in 5 duals -- 3 at 174 (including the road trip to Utah Valley State) + 2 at 197 as an emergency injury fill-in for Smack.
Here is his match list for the year: http://www.nwcaonline.com/nwcaonline/results/ColScorebook/WrestlerInfo.aspx?SchoolYear=2012&ID=46150
He turned out OK, I guess.Wow, I guess we all figured Brown was gonna be pretty good, huh? Only losses were to Ruth and Sheptock. Beat Storley, Huntley, Headlee, Henderson, etc.
