Any news on his rehab and wrestling plans? Terrific young man, hope all is well.
How is Spencer Lee doing?
- Thread starter SotaHawk
- Start date
Last I heard he is doing well. My guess is he wrestles in a open or 2 before Midlands. Then wins Midlands unattached and TnT pull his shirt.
I think he wins Midlands and still does not compete in a dual this year. Just don't see his RS coming off considering he is coming off back to back season ending injuries. I would think he needs to take the time to get stronger and as healthy as possible. 2017-18 Hawk season is going to be tough with or without SL,
I think if he's healthy enough to wrestle Midlands, then he doesn't need any more time to recover. However, I still think Brands redshirt him.
If he is healthy and Stickley doesn't go down to 125 then I think we see him wrestle this year. I don't want to say anything bad about Perez, but I feel he will be the worse 125 in the conference and not qualify for NCAA's if the starter.
I think there's a decent chance we field a pretty salty 25lber this year not named Stickley or Perez... Me thinks someone may be pulling a McDonoughish like cut.
ohh!! Good Laux with that!!!
Good move for Laux if he can make the cut.
Now will Happel or Turk do the same at 33??

If one of the criteria for pulling his redshirt is winning Midlands(and I know that is simplifying it), then, and I cant believe I'm saying this, but I would prefer he wouldn't win it. IMO, without a lot of help from other schools, nothing we do this season will allow us to win nationals, with or without S Lee.
Plan for the future and win 2 or even 3 during his career. That would be great.
GO HAWKS!!
2017-2018
125: Glynn
133: Laux
141: Turk/Happel
149: Sorensen
157: Kemerer
165: Marinelli
174: Young/Gunther
184: PD3 (Bowman first semester?)
197: Wilcke
285: Stoll
If Glynn is indeed who we are talking about at 125 then I am excited to see what he can do at the weight. I have been pretty impressed with his progression in the room and thought he looked pretty good at JR WTT's down at 60kg. Really liked his motor and leg attacks, but he got out freestyled hard in some matches. I think he will surprise a lot of people this season. Before Gobblin said that he might be making the cut to 125 I have been thinking he might overtake Laux for the 133 spot if he was a 133 this season.

Glynn is 5'8" tall and has been wrestling 141 the past two seasons. Cutting to 125 doesn't sound feasible or healthy.
Just look at the posts he has liked
Sentes was like 6'1"
"He could hunt geese with a rake!"
That's was my first thought as well AF... We'll see how it shakes out.
This is the stuff legends are made of. If he makes the cut he'll surely grow to 6, maybe 7 feet tall!
Great to know that T&T have a plan in place and aren't rushing Lee back. I'm sure that Spencer's champing at the bit to get back into competition, but there's no reason for him to wrestle this school year. I want to see him take a year to rehab and bulk up before making his debut. IMO, coming back this year is a poor decision from a risk-reward position.
"Champing at the bit" -- Freudian slip, perhaps?

Not trying to be part of the grammar police, since anything with 'champ' in it fits nicely with Spencer. But 'champing' was used in the original expression.
<<One definition of bit is a metal mouthpiece used for controlling a horse, and one definition of champ is to bite or chew noisily. These are the senses meant in the idiom champing at the bit, which refers to the tendency of some horses to chew on the bit when impatient or eager. In its figurative sense, it means to show impatience while delayed, or just to be eager to start.>>
Wow -- that's news to me. Thanks for the info, 33! I've always said "chomping". Learn something new everyday.
But I still liked my "Freudian slip" bit (so to speak).
I'm with you in the chomping. Champing at the bit isn't a thing, as far as I know.
I'm glad my play on words was recognized. Use of "champing" was intentional for the reasons that it is the original (and proper) idiom and that it implies that Spencer is indeed a champ. Chomping is used enough in common parlance that it is acceptable as well, but I prefer champing. I also am a proponent of the Oxford Comma FWIW.
Just say "No," to the Oxford comma. It's not needed. The inclusion of "and," not only clarifies but also serves as a pause between the listed items or activities.
It's pretty clear.

"Champing at the bit" on HR. They are "Chomping at the bit" over at BWI.
You know it's the off-season when two main points of debate are the Oxford comma and "champing at the bit". Magnificent troll job by akaoni, by the way. I took the bait hook, line, and sinker. And taught most of us something new in the process! Good on ya, brother.
But I to take exception to the explanation in your link, Vall. Even though the horse doesn't actually "chomp" on the bit, the distinction there strikes me as a technicality. Let's argue this for a few pages.

Oxford comma FTW! I'm all about removing ambiguity in writing. Being in a technical field, it can mean millions of dollars lost if something is written and its meaning is able to be interpreted more than one way.
Okay. After S Lee's first match, a sports journalist writes:
"In his first collegiate match Lee attempted 10 shots that resulted in two takedowns in the first period, two in the second period, and two in the third"
OR
"In his first collegiate match Lee attempted 10 shots that resulted in two takedowns in the first period, two in the second period and two in the third"
So in the first sentence (with comma) Spencer had six takedowns but in the second sentence(without) he only had two?
Is there an English 101 Board we can move this discussion to? I keep checking this thread for any updates on SL and all I get is..... whatever the heck this stupid thing has turned in to,,,,,,,,,. Welcome to the dead time before the season starts.

I absolutely hate when people don't use an Oxford Comma. Interesting article on it btw:
https://thewritelife.com/is-the-oxford-comma-necessary/
A court determined a case based on punctuation of an oxford comma.
"An appellate court recently ruled in favor of Maine dairy drivers in a labor dispute that hinged on the oft-debated piece of punctuation.
For anyone who’s ever wondered what all the fuss is about over Oxford commas, the circuit judge’s opinion says it all: “For want of a comma, we have this case.”
