Is he gonna wrestle this upcoming season? If so, where do you se him going?
I see him being a national champ. He has that talent.

PDIII- Where will he go
- Thread starter WidespreadGeo
- Start date
Johnson County Jail? Seems like a good Iowa City Duals candidate
the way i understand it, Downey would have to do the following to wrestle next year
1) Graduate from ISU, which he already left
2) know what the GRE is
3) score high enough on the GRE to get accepted by some graduate program
4) find a graduate program that, by some measure of grace, would extend their 2017 application deadline, which has already passed
5) find professors, or anyone else, to write letters of recommendation
6) get accepted by a graduate school w/ a DI team
it ain't happenin'

The real question is how do they match up with the HR team?
Can you take the GRE on Twitter?
Can you set up an exhibition match between Nickal and Downey, so that we can finally know how long it will take Downey to pin him?
I'm just guessing of course.......no personal experience..... ya know.
But we've got enough career criminals in our cesspool to stack up against most any small time jails.
Now when you get into the Federal System...........well, we're just not funded that well..........yet.
We got Tarp! And from what I hear Andegre is an imposing figure.
Tarp is busy out recruiting, helping M* out. He busy.
Andegre is a tall bald guy who needs a bit of work on holding his liquor............oh wait ......so are most of the guys in the jail...........whoops.

I laughed so hard at that comment!! Guess it's because I sat across from him at the pizzeria in St. Louis watching him, and others, spend hours with the bottles - I lost count how many after about 80.
Going off of his Snapchat he's living with Andy Bisek up in Wisconsin and focusing on freestyle. I doubt he suits up in a college uniform ever again.
Long was exhibiting an effort and made a commitment to get/stay on the right track. Long was launched when he wavered from that commitment.
Downey is unapologetic and glorifies all the things that would get him launched.
If he wanted to Downey could find an opportunity somewhere. With all of his talent someone would take a chance. But he would have to at least pretend to change to get that chance. Right now if a coach brought him in they wouldn't be "taking a chance" as they know the outcome already. Trainwreck.
As PBS said, he was making an effort to change. And when he screwed up, Mitchell said you're gone.
Most of the guys that Mitchell has gotten who have been in trouble before never get in trouble again. He must be doing something right in terms of his leadership.
PBS- looks like he's working on the farm and had said he's been sober for 30 days. He's still gambling though. Not sticking up for him in any way. Just throwing it out there.
Widespread- that's just beyond unnecessary.
The only places I could see Downey going are either
1.) Penn State
Downey's a guaranteed national champ... so PSU is definitely a top choice
2.) Stanford or Cornell
Based on PD3's tweets, we all know he's very intelligent and would fit in nicely at one of these schools. Could see Palacio changing PD3's outlook on life as well before he graduates.
3.) Nebraska
Seems to fit right in with the coaching staff and athletes here as well.
Overall: If I had to bet on it, I think he will forego his final year of eligibility and head right to the OTC to pursue his quest to becoming the greatest American wrestler ever

I don't know if you are kidding or not. Not a chance any of these schools would ever take him.

I know you're joking, and there's some good stuff in there, but note he started his career at Nebby and wasn't a good fit there, either.
I disagree, Minnesota won't take him.
Stop making fun of Minnesota, they're trying to emulate the Hawkeyes. I think they get back to contending for trophys as soon as the out of State elite kids feel the culture in the room has cleaned up.
