I still wish he had redshirted last year. I guess he'll only be a one time champ.

Thanks for the link, Vall. Great read, and a great kid. Another reason to be proud you're a Hawkeye.

Go get'em Big Fella! Been a darn good Hawk and has come a long way.

I agree great kid.

Speaking of Burak, is Klapprodt still backing him up? or is he hurt, or done or ?

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Kris is banged up. I doubt he'll be on the mat any time soon.

 

[sweatybetty]

Thank you- I appreciate knowing.

is there a discussion about a 6th yr for Kris (or is that just one poster's hope?)

I know it's difficult to get a 6th year and I have no idea if he's interested or qualified. Nonetheless, that would be a great thing for the Hawks.

I think the reasoning would be "because Vallholl has some crazy lineup predictions he's been working on" and the NCAA would have to say "yes"

If Brands and Company could have known that last year's senior crop would go 1-4 in the 1st Round at NCAA's he would have red-shirted.

True story. And with a tie at the B1Gs, they had to go "all in". Too bad no one here has a time machine or lives in the future...

Don't know what Kris' plans are, but I agree it would be great to have him back for another season!

The die was cast way before B1Gs.

True. he wrestled midlands unattached and then pulled the shirt. That made for some fun posts.
