Does this burn Estrada’s redshirt?

[GableBeer]

Why are we burning Estrada’s RS?

 

[Gobblin]

So Drakes not going again (against a ranked wrestler) and we’re burning a promising Miguel Estrada’s redshirt, who just so happens to be facing good competition. I get sitting Jacori…I guess but you can’t tell me Drake tweaked something kicking the absolute shit out of PSU’s backup 125.

I’m a wrestling fan and this takes two of the best matchups out of commission and if this does burn Estradas shirt I’d be absolutely pissed if I were Miguel and family. Same bs that happed with Swafford that was completely unavoidable.

Someone tell me I’m wrong? This looks like a duck for Drake and a screw job for Miguel? I’m happy to be wrong but that’s what it looks like to me.

My God…

My God…

Talk me off the ledge my man. I think you know me well enough to know that I’m rational most of the time. What am I missing here?

 

[dtripp26]

While I don't fully share @HawkFan1986 thoughts, this move is a bit of a head scratcher.

Wish we would have done this last year with Gabe.

 

[FUMBLE-ROOSKY]

My God…

Makes no sense to wrestle Estrada

Why are we burning Estrada’s RS?

Maybe he wants it that way. Might want to be done with education in 4 years.

 

[moug]

We don’t really know how the proposed 5 years of competition could be implemented or rolled out. It’s the NCAA, so would it surprise anyone if they rolled it out and just said for those who RS in this current year it still counts towards your 5 years? If the new 5 year rule happens maybe TnT are actually not wasting a damn thing with Estrada.

 

[ff141]

Maybe he wants it.

It seems like there’s a strong likelihood the ncaa is going to give these guys five years anyway. Maybe that’s part of the convo. Get him as many quality reps as possible.

Irrelevant.

This is the fact of the matter…. Paired with the fact that Miguel wants to wrestle as much as possible.

Then I rescind my earlier comment. If it’s his choice and redshirts don’t matter anymore what is there to argue about.

I’d still like to see Drake solidify his spot at the top of the 133 pile.

Yes and might be wise to rest JT just 2 days after a tough match. I want a fully healthy JT in March and Hawks wont need him to win this today.

 

[ff141]

Nope.

Looking at wrestlestat isn’t today his 6th date. Grand View, Loras, Princeton, IL, Wisconsin?

 

[moug]

Irrelevant.

Feel free to elaborate.

 

[sdvike]

Want to see Gabe come out on fire against Smith today. 100% behind you Gabe.

Good job. I was wrong. I missed one. You’re correct.

Exactly, maybe Estrada is all for burning his shirt. I would bet that is the case. No way they burn it against his wishes.

This was the plan all along. They probably only brought about 15 wrestlers out east. 2 at 133, 2 at 157, and 2 at 184. Did Block go? Not many spots left. Tom knew exactly who was going to wrestle only one of the dates.

 

[Tcalumet]

Maybe Couple guys are moving down - to 49 and 41….

No insight just throwing more wood into this fire 🔥

Just curious if you know what his college graduation plans are? Do you think he’s wanting to stay longer than four years?

Yeah I get it now. The way redshirts worked about 4 months ago I would have been disappointed to waste a year of eligibility from Miguel. A kid who I think can blossom into a real contributor on this team. I did not factor in this new 5 year eligibility rule nor did I consider that Miguel may want it. I had a reactionary response haha. I still wanna see Drake go. He’s now missed back to back matchups that could have solidified his seed at nationals should he suffer an upset at bigs.

Just think 1 dual is not as important as to what may happen in the next 4 years

Even if someone plans on graduating in 4 years things don’t always go as planned. It’s only 1 match

I hear you. Drake and Teemer had good matchups. They really seem to be trying to manage guy's match loads. Tom said so with Gabe.

 

[IAChief32]

I am going to lock this thread and pin it to the top.

 

[Valholl]

Shall we do this as the PBP thread as well? Asking for a friend.

 

[edquinn06]

Was he unattached for Luther or grandview?

 

[AFHawk86]

Sold out crowd (but they put wrestling in the basement in the volleyball gym).

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Such a great skit! I was almost in tears laughing.

"There's no kicking in football?"
"There's a little kicking."😂

We need ten of 'em.
Other guys in the lineup by planning.

 

[MVPFAN]

I don't like using an official year for Estrada, they better be sure about the 5 year thing otherwise it seems silly. He is the one reserve outside of Angelo I can see possibly doing something.

 

[Valholl]

Gym looks packed. Might seat 1,500?

First semester freshman must be attached.
