My guess he was recruited not to sit he was the next best thing. I don't envy wrestling coaches when it comes to this stuff. I know it's about putting the best team out there but it has to be awkward selling to kids you recruit. Wonder what was said to Beard. He lucked out and will probably get a medical shirt and I'm thinking he starts this year or at least hope he starts for us this year
It really doesn't other than if he was just coming off an injury the post season would have been much tougher for him anyhow.
Fine me a post where he isn’t completely detailing the thread or challenging someone to an under the bridge wresting match. The guys a bit crazy. I wasn’t even aware of his existence until mid March. Man oh man, he came in guns blazing! Haha
No kid is recruited to sit, I also doubt promises about starting spots are made. Simply that if you come here, get developed by us, that should coincide with you starting for 4 years and doing some big things in March.
There is a slew of SS eligible Hawks he could talk to. Well at least after their post season surgeries and rehabs are complete.
Wouldn’t it be something if he ended up here and wrestled 133 after RBY was done? I know… if he could make 133 he prob would have stayed in Iowa, but that would be awesome.
He's leaving before BRANDS MAKES HIM HATE THE SPORT !!!!
Not only that but he can now choose a program that will teach him to wrestle and not simply push, shove and stare at an official pleading for a "stall call."
Iowa State, Michigan, and Nebraska
I wouldn’t mind seeing ISU keep building.
They're actually in very good shape at 141/149 with Swiderski incoming (who beat Mendez 2x this year) and PA state finalist Cam Robinson coming off a good shirt year.
My bad, not paying attention to who was next in line. Yuk to those other options, though. I’d like to see an ACC team pick him up.
Maybe join his Waynesburg teammate Church at VT? I think Henson would beat out 141 starter Girardi. Then he'd move to 149 when Andonian graduates, which is also when Church would come off shirt (likely at 141).
Yea, once the Woods transfer was announced, they started playing toy soldiers with Henson and all of a sudden he was a 133 with Freestyle being evidence of this. Amazing how so many of them are not aware of the different weigh-in procedure. They like to self proclaim as the most knowledgable fan base but sometimes I think it's the complete opposite.
it's actually the one weight they don't need. i'd take swiderski over henson right now. mendez wasn't even competitive with him at the rudis event. i think he's legit. unless swiderski is a 149.
I heard that offer was withdrawn due to lack of success? Not sure where I heard it. But if it was on the world wide webbie thing, it must be true
With the exception of stalling Iowa wrestling fans as a whole generally seem fairly knowledgeable about wrestling. The clowns that are HR, not so much.
I know this a tweet and a cheap way to go bout it,NERF,but this needs to be a POY candidate.
Beau Bartlett beats Real Woods next year.
We don't book things. We binder them.
HR is kinda like Fettuccine Alfredo: 80 percent of the time it's never Cooked properly and tastes awful, but the 20 percent of the cooks who have the knowledge, are the best and most knowledgeable in the world.
I already thought that to be true, but just for the heck of it I wrote it down for you.
