From what I can gather, Rathbun, Turk, Marinelli, Brooks and Stoll are all injured at this time. Any info on these guys? I know Turk is done for the season but what about the others?

Well, we know that Stoll is progressing very nicely in his rehab, and unless he has suffered another injury since his last interviews, hes been wrestling live with Telford, and Berhow, running hill sprints, and lifting fine for weeks now. They're all taking his return slow to prevent any chance of unnecessary injury that could've been prevented by playing it slow, the Midlands + B1G season is a tough grind.
And for Brooks, brands was asked if he was injured and he said "No, no, we're just being smart" or something along those lines, so I took it to mean he got a minor ding at the Luther open and they're not rushing to throw him back in until he can heal up, don't want it to be a lingering problem that catches up with him by seasons end.
Hopefully nothing serious with Rathbun and Marinelli, if they are injured. If Marinelli's injury is more significant than just a minor one, where he will miss a good chunk of time, it may be better to just redshirt him this year.

I think back to Brands recent comment about all the knee injuries they are seeing... not sure who they are.
He said 8 knee injures, If i had to guess who those were I would say Rathbun, Marinelli, St. John, Brooks, Little Meyer, and someone else. Just guessing on the freshman. But we saw SSJ's leg wrapped, Brooks tweaked at Luther, and Meyer evidently had surgery on the same day as Turk. I don't think he was counting Stoll's knee injury among those 8, and Turks was a shoulder. So our team is pretty dinged up as a whole at this point in the season. Good thing is its early, and there is plenty of time to get healthy before midlands and the B1G grind, hopefully.

I would be seriously worried if they have this many injuries this early. I would take a good hard look at what they are doing in their training. That is over 20% of the team. (We all know 83% is the threshold - so there is still a little wiggle room. - I put that in there jus to beat AZchief to it._
Nah positive thoughts everyone! Let's get the injury bug out of the way now and be dominate in March
Majority of these injuries are just TnT being cautious.

Except for the season ending one's, but point taken.................

They're being EXTRA cautious with those..........
This happens to us late season usually. Maybe a trend change in our favor for a change.
