So... Spencer Lee

This whole “issue” about not wrestling in the consy’s is ridiculous. Who cares. In the grand scheme of his career it does not matter. He and the coaching staff saw what they needed to see. Period
Didnt know you consulted with the coaching staff. Thanks for the update

I don’t think it takes an insider, of which I am not claiming to be, to understand that they obviously got what they needed to know from the matches he wrestled. If there was more questions one could assume he would have wrestled in the consy’s.

Spencer is on the program cover for Friday nights dual, I think the shirt may be coming off!?!?!?

If I take the fam to that meet, mainly to see Mr. Lee, and he DOESN'T wrestle...well, let's just say that I will not be happy. As a form of protest...I will go down to center mat and strip naked AND then do some jumping jacks. That should clear Carver Arena. :) :)

Then they'll know better than to throw the ol' bait and switch at us! :)

LOL I’d dang near fly back to Iowa for that protest display.

I will donate $100 to HWC wrestling club if you do that!
 
Disagree. Another 60+ days of just meet wrestling is a good idea before BIG tourney.
This! As another poster pointed out turning around and wrestling 25 minutes (bc of the loss) is just not worth the risk. As many have questioned- "Would he of MFF if he would have won" the answer is no- simply because of the amount of time he would allow the muscles around his injured knee more time to recover- therefore significantly reducing risk of reinjury. Now if the shirt is in fact pulled, he would then have 3 months to strengthen his knee/muscles and also work on his endurance to be full go in March-- once again that extra 3 months significantly reduces risk of reinjury. Good move by Brands/Lee or whomever....put pride and impatience aside and do what is best for athlete......always about what is best for athlete and not fans
 
Maybe my mind is faulty, but I seem to remember Lee saying he would get 2 or 3 matches at Midlands. Maybe he would have wrestled the finals with more rest between, but I dont think it was ever the plan to go 5 or 6 matches.

That is one of the weakest things I've ever seen posted about Iowa wrestling. Can you imagine Gable, or even a Brands being quoted saying that about a tournament they push heavily every year?

"Well, we lost, so f* it, no one left worth while, heading home!"

Something I'd expect from a PD, not SL.
Man this board can be frustrating the first few weeks after football season.

No idea? But if we pull Lee's shirt you would think we need to find some way to get at least a qualifier at that weight....we really can't afford having a completely open weightclass. I have been pleasantly surpried by a handful of wrestlers who have vastly improved this year- most notably Wilke and also think Bowman has looked better
Yep.....Gunther isn't a qualifier type
 
I am one who thinks he should still redshirt, get completely healthy and also get bigger for his weight class. If his knee is 100% then why wear the big knee brace. If it's the saying of just a precaution to be safe then to me that means the knee is not right. I hope he proves me wrong and is a high aa but I doubt he wins the title. I think if he redshirted he would have a better chance of being a 4 time champ. I hope he wins it but I doubt he does.
 
Been on the go lately but what happened when he hit beat by Bresser at Midlands after torching 2 seed from Edinboro? Just curious.
