Gable Stevenson

Minnesota and there head coach are promoting him pretty hard on social media for the open so I have to figure it not to be a problem.
 
It's Steveson, not Stevenson. I'm not sure if the misspelling was intentional or not, but it's a common mistake. Gable will be a Gopher next year and there are no academic issues whatsoever.

Thoughts on how he fairs at the Open vs Rey, Bradley, Coon, etc? Awful interested to see how he does, vs those 3 as they are 3 very different styles. The great D and size of Rey, the size and upper body game of Coon, and the quick feet of Bradley.

I think he'll lose a couple matches and I actually think it will benefit him. One thing about Gable is that he hasn't been challenged much the last few years, even internationally, and now will wrestle grown man-strength. I'm sure he'll be extremely competitive, but i dont expect him to win. He's young, I think he just turned 18, so it will be a big test.

I can't wait to watch him and Spencer Lee compete. Both are special kids.

Exactly, Gable will be hitting the weights to bulk up. I expect him to take some lumps early but progress during the season to medal rounds.

He looks kind of peaked out in the weight department. Where is this weight going to go?
 
I feel like he will get 3rd ish, then win 3 titles...those last two weights are a biotch to win 4. Snyder didn’t even do it ..:
 
It's as if they don't know that NCAA champions get tested. Of course it has been 15 years since Iowa had a hvy champ so maybe they've forgotten the protocal.
 
Instead of facing the fact that TNT do not know how to coach heavyweights (ala Cael), some members of this board would rather denigrate a 2x champ in the hope that their own failures are then acceptable.

You are a master troller, no doubt. However, just to be accurate, Iowa 285's have been quite solid under Brands.

What could have been with Stoll. A pity really.
