Carter is excellent at riding. Im guessing he goes a similar route as Nolf did and ride everyone as much as possible. I do worry about the refs. As a group they have had some odd and bad calls of stalling on top wrestlers this year.
The definition of stalling was changed, wasn’t it? Breaking bottom man down is no longer enough.
First chance I get I’m breaking this quote out at the firehouse table!!! Pure gold!
Jason didn't just break the bottom man down, he broke the bottom man. Carter can do it too.
There is a big difference between dislocating a knee cap and dislocating a knee. I remember some time back when Navy had a really good running back, Napoleon McCallum, who was drafted in the NFL. He suffered from a true knee dislocation in a game and his career was over. (It still makes me cringe thinking about it.) Carter's injury wasn't even close to what happened to McCallum.
We're discussing KNEE injuries, not WIENEE injuries
McCallum's injury was so severe that it was life threatening. I believe he suffered arterial damage and if not addressed very timely, he would have bled out.
Dislocated knee, and found out later torn ACL and MCL. Long recovery time but was still able to walk off at the injury. Ended my non-existent playing career.
ABSOLUTELY!! i wouldn't be totally surprised if the MRI was performed Sunday evening and at least a preliminary interpretation by tele-radiology. I was responsible for several outpatient imaging services that included MRI and we developed high-throughput protocols to reduce backlogs for the most time-sensitive and high-volume exams. Although, each imaging facility has its own referral patterns, the neuro-surgical and orthopedics referrals often had specific appointments reserved in advance just for those specialties.
Thanks for that input. I’m not a doctor, but once I had knee issues in college, I was naturally curious and got a lot more knowledgeable about the joint. I was thinking LCL myself due to how the knee was stressed.
Agreed, too much info. Please take the wienee injuries to OT please. 🤣
Sorry, my response came across like I was just discounting your experience. Any athletic injury is not fun for the athlete who is injured. Been there, done that. I sure hope Carter goes through a fast recovery.
I know all about shoulder joint from trauma. It's 15 months since I got drilled by a pick up truck. My collar bone has not healed. It's in 4 pieces. Trauma orthopedic isn't a big fan of bone graft using a piece of my hip. They have me doing rehab. Range of motion is decent. I now know what constant pain is. 😕
Great news! Would be sad if he can't compete for his 4th title...he's clearly the cream of the crop and deserves the opportunity!
Cael Sanderson "optimistic" about Carter Starocci's injury
Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson doesn't seem overly worried about Carter Starocci's injury scare on Sunday.pennstate.rivals.com
Same. My point is you can’t solely judge an injury by what you see. We can only speculate until some information is given.
I don't believe conference will give us any indication either. He is going to walk out and forfeit twice. We probably won't know what the problem is officially until after Nationals.
Thanks Doc! Always remember sitting with you in Piscataway just before the big COVID shutdown. Hope that all is well in your travels.
I wrestled with his Dad Dan for a year. Dirk beat my son's best friend and workout partner in the finals. Dirk had a battle with a real good wrestler from Benton but could have the wrong school. I believe that kid was diagnosed with Hodgekins soon after.
Eric Hess of Benton beat Dirk 1-0 his senior year.
True.
If only Flo had a better relationship with the best coach in the sport right now, maybe they could do some journalism and ask. As it is, when Cael looks at Pyles, Pyles shoes fill up with warm liquid.
