Obviously, I hope he's OK. Watching the tape, it certainly doesn't look devastating. He was fine during the match (was pushing off fine, used the leg to elevate on the final tilt, and even had the Turk in with it at one point), but he was limping a little as soon as he got up. I'm not a doctor either, but it didn't seem to be anything to worry about at first glance.
I was actually surprised nobody said anything when it happened I came on the board and looked and I was sure gibbons was going to say something but he paused like he didn't want to say anything hope all is well that kid can flat out wrestle

It seemed like something was on his mind after the match, I hoped he wasn’t hurt and was just upset that he had to spend more that 40 seconds rolling around with a kid from Purdue.
A little perspective here. About 30 years ago when I was only twice Spencer's age, I got on the mat and live wrestled with a HS kid who was pretty decent and outweighed me by 50-60 lbs. I tweaked my knee pretty badly and was limping worse than Lee afterwards. When I got home, I put my knee in an ice wrap immediately and popped an 800 mg Ibuprofen pill that I happened to have handy. It was still sore the next day, but not like the night before. I kept up with the ice and Ibuprofen for about 2-3 days and was fine after that. Never went to a doctor.
Now I'm not going to pretend that I know all about Spencer's situation, but based on my own experience, I'll bet he's fine when the NCAAs start.

I finally rewatched the link. He actually says it twice, “I blew my knee out”. Once right after taking the headgear off and then again as he passes the staff at mat edge.
To be fair, that doesn’t mean he actually did, could have been a strain enough to warrant the thought. And he’s too busy chewing up his opponent. No way to know and seriously....I hope it’s not.
On one leg he lost to ADS by a point when going for 4, and leaves one a little empty. I’d rather see his greatness on display rather than impaired greatness.

And the field is dramatically easier than Jason's.
Lee will not have to face anyone remotely as good as Kemerer, Jordan, or Hidlay -- let alone all 3 consecutively.
And he can always pick top and rattle off double digits in a hurry.
What Nolf did at that NCAAs still amazes me. He humbled some really good college wrestlers.
If RBY can beat Austin DeSanto with one hand behind his back then Spencer Lee can win a national title with one leg.
One leg can be an advantage for some wrestlers
All sympathy to Spencer. So who would win in the Finals: Teske vs. Howard?
Lol.All sympathy to Spencer. So who would win in the Finals: Teske vs. Howard?
You KNOW the seeding will result in that matchup.....somewhere.
Dont do itAll sympathy to Spencer. So who would win in the Finals: Teske vs. Howard?
Bumping this post. I think this was when the left ACL popped. Leg caught under and yanked back hard. Kid is tough!
It's nothing short of Herculean to win an NCAA title with a torn ACL. Now I hope it doesn't affect his chances in the Olympics. He's on our team now that NCAAs are over!
Was it just me or does anyone else notice Lee barking and clearly unhappy with brands at the end of his match last night?
And secondly when brands ran up to Lee when he was preparing to give you the interview and put the hat on his head looked like the most forced and choreographed occurrence of the entire tournament. And it look like it annoyed Lee.

Jason was brutal on top in HS.
True dat. B
Turns out that your post was EXCELLENT!
"Surely"...NOT!
BTW, this is a freekin message board, not a court room. Speculation is one of the underpinnings of every message board.
Here's a link from the Des Moines Register to Spencer's presser interview. The following video with Cody Godwin is worth the watch, as well.

So what’s harder, wrestling with no ACLs or posting with no brain?
I’m on Team Gilman
I think Tom Brands would be best equipped to answer the latter part of your query.So what’s harder, wrestling with no ACLs or posting with no brain?
The hard part is when Spencer asks to join NLWC. It’s gonna be awkward.
Can you imagine the reaction in Iowa City! Spencer's stature and importance to Iowa fans seems massive. Cleveland fans' reaction to "the decision" by LeBron years ago may seem tame by comparison. I'd expect bonfires and pitchforks, and maybe a police escort out of town for the Lee family.The hard part is when Spencer asks to join NLWC. It’s gonna be awkward.
One of Cody's comments on Aaron's match was that the stalling call was "weird". Apparently he didn't see the match!
Lee's latest knee injury came actually during the finals of the Big Ten Championships. His father, Larry, told the Register that Lee tore it within the first 30 seconds of the match. He went on to win by a 21-3 technical fall over Purdue's Devin Schroder.
The days after his latest knee injury were filled with a lot of unknowns. He didn't wrestle much, he said, and limited his workouts to just three hours each day. He said doctors were surprised that he was even attempting certain workouts.
---------------------------------------------
My question - What is a normal workout if he was limited to 3 hours?
I can't even imagine wrestling with a torn ACL!
I have had both my ACL's surgically repaired.
When Spencer say's he wrestling with no ACL's is he saying he has never had them repaired? For instance the rumor (maybe fact?) is that Greg K. is wrestling with a torn ACL that has not been surgically repaired.
Spencer just tore an ACL in the Big10 finals on a knee that had been previously torn. Which to me indicates surgery would have been previously performed.
Just curious........
Spencer is one Tough Man! Hopefully, he can wrestle in 2 weeks.

My guess is no...moving on to his international career. 3 time champ and Iowa won the team title...not much else to prove. I guess an attraction could be returning for a 4th title. A key indicator may be if after the trials he gets surgery...He spoke about how he couldn't shoot, couldn't sprawl, etc. His competition at trials will be brutal if he is immobile. If he gets double ACL surgery after the trials, it will be very difficult to return for the college season.
