Kyle Conel

Does DeSanto project to move up to 141? Did GT technically use a redshirt this year? I'm not sure GT fits in at Iowa weight wise, right? Either way, I wish GT the best
 
I think he has to use a red shirt, but will he go for a 6th year then?
 
Yeah, the same board that ripped the hell out of the kid. Willie says TB is the perfect coach for him. Lmao at their hypocrisy.

really surprised that the Teasdale thread isnt bumped to the top of the HR........

Just got a photo of him at Rec Hall.

Wasn't he basically saying his career was over? Obviously, that's changed.

Concern would be he gets through 3/4 of the season, reinjures the shoulder and the we're stuck without a 97.

Yes, early in the season he tweeted he was done wrestling, i think I might have added a probably. Then on Feb 1st he tweeted he was entering the transfer portal with a partial release.

Yep, just like DeSanto.

We'll never fully know what the issue was, granted it wasn't positive. If he goes to Iowa they might start looking like the Cincy Bengals. They love high risk talent, but it hasn't worked out all that well. I hope he turns things around and doesn't t end up a bad influence.

I would rather see him at Iowa State myself. Every year ISU gets better HR gets crazier as they won't know where to direct their anger.
 

Though not every weight is coming off a nearly career ending shoulder injury. Just saying.
 
I actually think Beard is better than Conel. I’m sure it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have Beard take a redshirt and have another year to get better however. Having another stud in the room is always nice so if he is healthy and wants to compete I would love for him to come here
 
Then he should be our guy next year, no?
What zzs006 said.

We have Beard for up to 5 more years. Which 4 of them will be his best 4? Probably not the first.

It's not like Conel is some scrub. He just finished 3rd at nationals, has some freestyle chops -- and a few years ago pushed Morgan hard at nationals. The injury risk is mitigated by having Beard available.

not to mention 197 will be weak ....again
Nationally and especially in conference.

Next year without Bo: Moore, Warner, Brunner (16-7), Schultz (18-7). The NW shirt looks good but he's not the reason Beard is at PSU. Good chance Striggow gets beaten out by Davison -- who Beard beat 11-3 at the Edinboro Open 2 weeks ago.

i would imagine nothing is guaranteed. Beard does well in wrestle-offs and the scuffle (or similar event) he might win the spot. But, I don't know what the plan is...
