Others have conflated this, which you knew they would when you posted, so who is really to blame for this, and who is really being condescending?
Next up, Rutgers! And a thought or two!

My guess..illness. Probably didn't wrestle all week and coaches holding him out. That being said..who knows. No one other than Nick and the coaching staff know if he'll take the mat Sunday.
He looked fine Friday night and didn't seem to tweak anything so I don't think it's an injury.
The “right” to speculate? As though this is some malicious discussion? I thought this was a message board?
Your condescension level has escalated. I’ll end this now, as perhaps you’re having a bad day.
It certainly doesn’t seem as though you want to contribute meaningfully in any way.
Have a pleasant day.
Here’s my “best guess” for why Nick Lee is going to miss the Rutgers dual…
Nick Lee is actually part of an elite unit of operatives (disavowed of course) that brings the world’s most dangerous and elusive criminals to justice. Daybreak Sunday, he’ll be in an undisclosed location deep in the jungles near border between Columbia and Peru. Should the operation go smoothly, he should rendezvous with the evac team at 0900 and be back stateside inside 2 hours.
Unfortunately, a 4-hour layover in Dallas will prevent him from making it to Piscataway by 5pm, so he won't be able to wrestle.
I heard speculation that Nick Lee was injured during an impromptu African Safari when an elephant stomped his right knee. Rehab is not progressing as quickly as they had hoped and he'll likely miss a dual or 2.
Uh. Isn’t the very essence of “chop wood carry water” that you do it all the time?
C’mon you guys. We were informed this was ended. Plus, my doctor has warned me that escalated condescension is bad for my health. Your wild stories are not going to help me bring it back down to a safe level.
Agree, with this weekend’s weather the wood better all ready chopped, dried, and ready to burn.
Ok, call me confused. If Brady is certified, what is lowest allowable weight, and the lowest class he can wrestle? My understanding is you certify only once. At that time you pass a pee specific gravity test as a necessary condition to certify. Then you (1) weigh in, and (2) have your body fat measured. Then your minimum allowed weigh-in for the season is the calculated weight that results from your current weight minus any body fat weight in excess of 5%. That number also gives you a lowest weight class, obviously.
Is his lowest weight class 165? Or did he weigh 165 at time of cert? Or other?

The weight listed on Track is always the weight at the time of certification. Not his minimum weight for the year.
Almost always the wrestler can compete 1 class lower, quite often 2 lower, occasionally 3 lower.
I heard Nick Lee was learning how to safely crash land medevac helicopters in Delaware County.
To piggy back off of EJ, when Berge certified, he could have weighed 157.9 and he technically would be certified for 165. He can drop to 157 but he would have to do it in the specified timeframe that the NCAA allows.
..."he's not coming back..."....j. Utah, to Bodhi, final line of the movie
Wild stories? There’s only one person here, who has a reputation for wild stories.😏
Retherford being sick that match is complete speculation. Zain even said after the match that he felt fine. You need not believe him, but it shouldn't be stated as fact that he was ill that match.
Suppose Zain was sick for that match. There is a huge difference between putting a sick wrestler on the mat when the opponent is Iowa than when the oppent is Rutgers. PSU does not need Lee's points on Sunday to win the dual.
Yeah, the travel agent that routed him to Piscataway screwed up for a meet in State College!
Doubt it. 6-8 inches in SC on a Sunday is not a problem, except for those coming from a long distance with mountains to cross.
If it is, it would be COVID related, and I've heard nothing.
That would be me. 3 hour drive through eastern PA and the Poconos and then north Jersey. I'm sitting this one out, much as I enjoy stomping Rutgers.
I’m going to this match. Staying the night while the weather does it’s thing. Won’t be doing any PBP.
