And - you never know - someone could be hurt or has a high likelihood of getting re-injured so all three wrestlers need to be ready with experience. Or, we may have a plan for the best 184 in the world to be eligible in exactly 4 years so we get all 4 years out of him because he has the highest upside and needs experience...or, or, or, or....Assad says I'm leaving if Im the best guy and can't start....or, or, or

That question deserved zero legitimate responses. Don't feed the trolls next time.
Oh so he’s “just wondering” how much politics played a role. Got it. Lol And yet he’s yet to explain what that means. I don’t think he even knows what that means.
What made it lucky? Braunagel is a beast in Greco. That’s talent.
Actually Cash has done pretty damn well considering he was basically a nobody coming in. And this is what bothers me... the field at 184 has opened up since Dean and Rasheed are out of the picture. Cash has a great opportunity this year to AA but Brands is taking it away from him.
You’ve shown your true colors. He had 3 years. Cash took it away from Cash.
I'm no expert on trolling but this one here screams that you need to be a bit more subtle..
You blew it when you went straight for Brand's throat. Trust that the reader will know what you're getting at without giving them clear evidence that you're a prick. In the example above, next time just try saying you feel bad for a senior that has worked his tail off for five years to become an all american, only to be replaced by someone that isnt clearly a better option yet.
See, I know you are a troll, you know you're a troll....the reader can claim you are a troll but what would your words really say here? Kinda looks like you have a heart and truly feel for the guy now doesn't it? And in my example, you leave an opening for other trolls out there to do your dirty work for you. Like calling out Brands for only caring about winning and not helping one of HIS guys reach a lifelong dream.

Actually...is kind of quiet this year compared to year's past. Some name changes to protect the weak but so far, not so bad.
It’s bothered me too. I’m surprised Tommy allowed such a glaring hole at 184 these past few years. Wilke has had his opportunity. It appears he has hit his ceiling.
Assad will do better next season due to the experience he’s currently getting.
This ain’t about taking anything from Cash. It’s about filling a hole that has been ignored for too many years as it is.
It’s a new day, sport.
4 years, with this being the most relevant. 5th year senior didn't show significant separation from true freshman.
Like I’ve said, if we could gather ourselves and realize the athletes number one job is to get a good education. Tom Brands number one job is to win. It’s really as simple as that. As shocking as it may be, the fact that Assad was inserted into the lineup is good thing for the program in many ways. Cash Wilcke is still an extremely valuable member of the team and will be ready if his number is called again.
Maybe so (never say never), but I'm not buying what you're selling. He looked pretty fair at Midlands and wrestled quite a few matches to get back to 3rd.
All I'm saying is I don't think it was a "they" referring to the coaches. I believe Assad wants the chance and when Brands fell behind, it became a two man contest. Pulling a shirt does not mean it was all a one way decision. Maybe Assad doesn't want to spend 5 years in school. Maybe he wants a shot at being part of a National Championship team. Best man wins.
I wouldn’t say “injured” but he did deal with a procedure that needed to be dealt with that kept him off the mat awhile. I’d say by Midlands he was on full cylinders.
Maybe there was a complication, or a reinjury. If Cash is 100%, this decision doesn't make sense at all to me. TnT obviously have way more information than me, and this decision makes sense to them, so Cash being injured is all I can think of.
To those of you that took matrat serious thank you for one upping my moran comments about the odds of Assad not redshirting.
Apparently sometimes you have to shake, rattle, and roll...
I found a pic of matrat and chipack stallchump rassling crab legs they are the same peas
Huh? CASH NEVER GOT THE JOB DONE IN FOUR YEARS. That is problematic. Our team will be better next year with Assad getting experience. Cash should thank his lucky stars that the coaches didn’t recruit over him for all of these years.

The coaches, who have watched these wrestlers compete for years through high school and in the practice room, think Assad has the potential to score more points than Wilcke.
I don't know why so many struggle to make sense of this.
IMO, it is pretty clear in the statements I've seen in the media from Coach Brands, he or they simply lost patience with the Ca$h Wilcke experiment. I don't think it's anymore complicated than that. They had an option, and they exercised it.
I don't think there is much gray area when the commentary referring to 184 and Assad's approach was "not everything has to be a struggle". Now I'm no Stephen Hawking, but I don't think it could be any clearer. People seem to be looking for excuses, well, there it is in plain sight.
I agree, Cash has done a great job as compared to his ranking and I honestly feel he has the ability to have done way better even, it came out in a glimpse here or there but never fully clicked. I was in the go with Cash camp but people who know a lot more than me decided differently so I'm supporting who is out there.
Rasheed did not even AA last year so not sure why he gets listed as a block that was removed, Brooks is a bigger block. Based on how he has looked this year he was not likely to beat any of the Flo top 7 and that does not include Brooks, Sebastian who he has lost to 2X or 4-5 other guys ranked 10-20 that he is a toss up with.
Nah - but there are plenty of ass kissers in this thread. That's for sure. Kind of humorous actually.
I'll defer to the guys who get paid to make these decisions (see "Tom and Terry Brands").
I'm going to go out on a limb and say ... maybe ... Assad is wrestling well and possibly the coaches think he might help them win a title ...
Just spit-balling here ...

Speaking of "very well stated," it was you who questioned whether politics has played a part.
Therefore, would you please state well one possible hypothetical political reason for the decision?
I see “politics” as a thread topic. I thought someone was straight up starting a Political thread to discuss current events. Somehow this is worse.
