What is the latest with him? Have we ever heard? On the TV coverage it was said he was back in Iowa City, but he was clearly on the bench cheering on his teammates tonight in Ann Arbor. I saw him a lot in the last five matches. Just curious if we know what his injury exactly was and what his time table is? Very critical for him to be able to wrestle in the Big Tens and NCAA’s for us to win both titles.

All physical evidence, if you closely examine the movement that caused the pain, is at least a partial MCL tear. You either tear some of it or you don't. Didn't seem like the knee caught, so I highly doubt meniscus. He would be wrestling if there was no damage. A minor tear takes about 3 weeks to heal.
No they said he didn’t travel with the team. Heard it during the 133 match.
They literally said he was in warmups at the meet
Thanks! I was pretty sure we had not received an update and really didn’t have a time table or what exactly was the issue. I figured it was the MCL though, but didn’t know how long that might keep him out. Be nice to see him wrestle against Poke St, but I bet that doesn’t happen.
I know that. I said I saw him on TV and knew he was there. The tv coverage said he did not travel. I’m just wanting to know an update on his health if we have had one. Pretty sure nothing has officially been said.
I did not hear that and I watched the whole thing. Must have missed understood what they said during the 133 match. My mistake if I didn’t hear it correctly.
They said he didn’t travel to Michigan...State. Last Sunday.
Good, I made a mistake and didn’t hear it correctly. Now get back to my question on his health and time table. Thanks for correcting me.
I can confirm. Saw him in person. Medically I can tell you he can walk but that's about all I saw him do.
He was there on the bench in warmup gear looking fine. Doubt he’s seriously injured and he’ll be ready to go by Big Tens. If not sooner than that.
Yeah, I was confused when I heard he didn't travel, then I see him clear as day on the bench during 141, WTF
If it's an MCL he'll probably be wrestling in the B1Gs and NCAAs. The question is if he'll be back to the form he was in before the injury. Will his gas tank be all there? Will he be as quick and aggressive? Will he wrestle more cautiously? Will it affect his confidence? I would think he'd still AA (we'll have to see once he starts wrestling matches again), but I'm less optimistic about a high finish now. Plus, he was one of Iowa's key bonus points guys. Up in the air if he'll still be able to do that. Plus, the possibility of re-injuring the knee (yikes).
You can assess the severity of a knee injury by watching a guy sit on the team bench?
I don't doubt that he'll be on the mat at BTT. The rest of this post is pure guess work.
With you bro. IF it was a tear abs he was out indefinitely them why doesnt TB say so? My guess he's fine and ready by 10s
If you wanna pull your head out of your a$$ long enough to watch the match, Cass grimaced when Parris caught his leg on the last shot attempt by Tony. Parris took Cass down off of that and the pinning combination came after that, but keep running your mouth when obviously you don't know Sh!t.
Watch the match and then respond. Other than that STFU.
They are not going to announce it if it's a tear. If he can wrestle he will be back with or without a brace. Past history shows you will be lucky to find out after the season is over.
Word is he weighed in for the dual against Michigan and he’ll be back this weekend. That’s a rumor I heard today, and yes that’s a guess.
My first post was an observation based on
1. Yes, how he looked sitting on the bench cheering on his teammates. He looked like he was ready to wrestle.
2. Tom Brands saying it might have been more mental then anything when he got hurt against RBY.
I have no idea what his exact injury is. I would guess only the team and a select few do know. All we can go off of is public appearances and what Desanto and Brands tell us.
Thanks for joining today. Great posts so far.
Dude, you are seriously clueless, no one said the injury cost him the Parris match, but the tweak/injury he appeared to have suffered right before getting stuck may keep him out of Minny. Cass lost to Parris because Parris was better, that doesn't change the fact that it looks like he tweaked his already wrapped knee. I'm not angry, just tired of dumba$$es like you stinking up this board.
Man, reading comprehension isn’t your strength. He LITERALLY stated that Parris won because he was better. Most of the injury talk had NOTHING to do with the loss and almost all to do with the fear of an injury costing him later.
In fact, the only injury that everyone really has gone on about is DeSanto and that happened in the 1st 15 seconds of the match and he ended up injury defaulting. It would say that match hit every criteria necessary to say the injury caused the loss.....
You didn't do well in reading comprehension did you? I never once blamed that loss on injury, you came on here running your mouth about my post stating that Cass may be hurt and may be held out against Gable due to the grimace I saw during the multiple times I watched that match. Your stupid comment was something about smiling while getting pinned. Go back and watch the match again and re-read my posts and tell me where the excuses are. And yes I am a rabid Iowa wrestling fan and I do know a little about wrestling and well I guess that makes one of us because you have not said a damn thing yet that makes any sense.
I just noticed I started my response with the same opening you did. I hate feeding that troll, but jeez.
Do you ever reread your own posts and cringe?
does he ever read?
Thank you. Your post I can understand because it doesn't contain stupidity and profanity.
