Kerkvliet?
- Thread starter GogglesPaizano
- Start date
I'm guessing Jake is tipping the scales around 230+ these days. And that he could AA with relative ease at HWT this year. The talent drops off really, really fast after the top 5 or so.
It's not a good assumption that he was totally out of commission. Just because he wasn't cleared to wrestle in actual duals does not mean he wasn't cleared to practice and work out. In fact a poster claiming to be his Dad (and now seems credible based on what he said) confirmed that he's been on the mat practicing for months and flat out stated he would wrestle at B1Gs.
Does he get to train with Snyder?
His father has probably started to type any number of messages.......nah, better not. Let them fret.
ICWT......In Cael We Trust. I am with Brooks, We Are the favorite. Who cares if nobody else agrees. Its what we do!
He is getting back to form, feeling good and getting ready for Big 10’s. We knew this was going to be a challenging year but he also wanted to keep in shape with the restrictions he had. He is excited about the draw and ready to make the most of the opportunity. To be honest as a family we are just thankful he was cleared and has the opportunity to be on the mat and do what he loves. We do appreciate all of the concern, I will just say there is now nothing wrong with him and he is more healthy than he has been in the last couple of years. He is ready to have fun and learn from this experience as he drives towards his goals.

The only thing I would add to the above, is that you want to put the guy out that has the best chance at winning at the NCAAs, not the B1G Tournament, assuming that you think both guys can qualify. If Kerkvliet can wrestle his way into being a better option than Nevills in two weeks, then he should go, even if he is not the best option this weekend. Qualify for the NCAAs and a healthy Kerkvliet has a chance to go deep almost no matter where he is seeded. I am really excited to see what he can do!
I guess I am the only one on this board who thinks Kerk does to Paris what Cassar did. /shrug
Then why you be...?
I bet the Michigan coaches dropped an F bomb when they saw Kerk as the quarters match up for Parris. I am sure they would much rather see Seth.
Yeah, but wrestling Tony just allows Stevenson to work on getting off the bottom from a belly on the mat position.
I can't wait to see. Kerk looks like the future of 285 to me. We saw the move to smaller guys with better leg attacks work- why not a tall guy that wrestles like a 149 being the next model? I really do see a David Taylor like level change when he goes after the heel pick. The sky is the limit going forward and I won't be betting against him.
Kerk wrestles like someone in the 157-184:range.
Once he starts using the bow and arrow, then he'll wrestle like a 149.
Anyone else notice that coronavirus has retreated since Kerkvliet returned?
My number 1 goal for Kerk is to win the Big title. If that doesn’t happen, a close second is the destruction of Cassioppi.
I heard Stand With (some) Pride, inspired by Kerk, got a point in the same timeframe in the living room. (By calling locked hands, but a point’s a point.)

You get what you earn, isnt that what your fearless leader says??
We only used the living room while Wino’s winos glued my family room back together.c
