Gable Steveson saga
- Thread starter Pitchfork Rebel
- Start date
College eligibility aside, I could see Cowboy RTC running up the RTC salary ladder to land him.Looks like Ben Kueter is headed to SDSU with Glazier!
This guy really screwed his career up, which is kinda wild considering he is a gold medalist and a two timer.
He has eligibility but Okie St already hitched their wagon to Wyatt Earp.
Buffalo will likely stash him om the practice squad, in which case he makes $225k this year.
We should all screw up so badly.
Fair point, if that's true. It's just a weird path for a guy who captivated the community.
Since the mods moved this discussion here from the NLWC thread, just going on record thinking this is interesting for the NLWC. I'm rollin' w/ Greg, for sure, but I feel like we have an RTC arms race heating up, and there aren't too many Oly Gold Medalists on the market. Will be interesting to see what happens, and what Gable decides to do next.
NLWC should make a pitch
Couple of Penn Staters though. Hamler and Hardy made the cut!
In the old days (I.e. pre NIL), an athlete only had so many years to complete their eligibility after their clock started. Gable enrolled in Fall 2018. Am I wrong or is this his history:
2018-19 season (lost to Ant the Champ in semis)
19-20 (NCAA canceled)
20-21 (champ)
21-22 (champ, but “free year”)
22-23 (didn’t compete - not in school, “redshirt year?”)
23-24 (didn’t compete, “Olympic redshirt year”?)
When I started this post it was to show that he’s out of eligibility. But now, I think he might still have a season left.
FWIW, I was told that Gable’s priorities right now are #1-football, #2- wrestling

Correct. He still has a year of collegiate eligibility.
Gable can't make a football team at the moment so his priorities don't matter. He can easily get paid to wrestle, so wrestling better become #1 real soon.
An example of not having the right people in your corner. Kid was on top of the world in the spring of 2022. He would not fit in at the NLWC.

Devastating blow to the Bills practice squad. LOL.
Still 2 years younger than Fix was - and now Brands
If anyone can beat him, it's Kerk with the PSU braintrust. It knocks everyone else to 3rd or worse.
It will be interesting to see if he has lost any of his edge by not competing for several years on any level. He may have been practicing and doing drills, but its not the same. He was so good, I'm not sure it matters unless he completely loses it.
What a surprise since he had no other avenues for revenue generation. I'm just surprised he settled for the Goofs rather than approach Slumlord Bob. he would have doubled the number sight unseen.
Gable walked into the WTT last year for fun and swept Parris, our Olympic rep pretty easily. This is as big of a championship lock as you can get in wrestling.
Good thing Gable got better since he was 18LOL not really.
I'd have no problem with a guy trying other things and heading back; but if the Goofers can finEggum an OLY redshirt for a guy simply because there was an Olympics and not because he was a student actively training for them; this is patently ridiculous.
It's too bad that he flubbed WWE, he could tag-teamed with Ferrari.
