You can’t redshirt drake and be a four timer with Spencer back next year!!! What don’t you understand. If he keeps his redshirt. Spencer will be back next year and he would be on the bench wasting a year
Southern Scuffle semi-finals and consolations

Someone somewhere said Kennedy weighed in at like 159. Do not know if this was ever confirmed? Could it be that he is making his way down to 157 to give it a shot? Just speculating
It appeared in all of his matches his lungs are the issue. Thankfully those are fixable.
Got it. If I had said it differently, then people here would have given a damn about Cornell? I'm confused by your change in position. Which is it? And I meant no disrespect to the PBP guy who seems to be doing a great job (I've been watching the matches, myself), and it seems like he didn't take it that way.
And looking at the replay, it was Gwiz and Grey in Fernandes' corner.
No. Another guy showed his work...he weighed in at 164
We are especially bad in scrambles. Given that Eierman and Kem who is out are the only two guys on the team proficient at it it's not surprising. We never see it from practice partners and we don't seem to sign guys proficient at it very often.
Edit: Drake doesn't look too bad.

There's more to it than that! What don't you understand!!!!
For the record I agree that he shouldn't redshirt!!!!!!!
Progress! May I ask why? I certainly don't hate Iowa (or Penn State, or Lehigh, or Princeton); in fact, I have great respect for each of those programs, regardless of their relationship with Cornell.
What’s more too it. If he stays in redshirt. He will lose next yrs season due to Spencer being back!! Please tell me where there is more? I don’t get what you are saying unless he can’t beat Ybarra!
Because Koll was a wank and a number of their wrestlers have not had an especially likeable demeanor. Don't worry, I dislike other teams more.
we have other guys who are proficient at scrambling for stalemates, but not to score. that's a big difference.
No, nobody here would care about Cornell still, but if your posts weren't always at least borderline dickish then you wouldn't always receive an equally dickish response.
Maybe Spencer does a redshirt and a medical hardship, maybe Drake bumps up to 133 and Cullen to 141 and Henson to 149 and on and on and on. There's a thousand different options and things that could happen.
I think the best option is probably for him to get his redshirt pulled and go this year and for Spencer to go next year while Drake redshirts, but I'm not Drake Ayala so I don't know what's best for him.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is PK’s first season of open tournaments. Last year he only wrestled in a few dual/pre-dual matches.
Drake is way to small for 33 right now. Maybe 2 years from now but he is very small compared to other 25lbers see his match with McKee. Spencer will finish his career next season. And for the matter Cullen isn’t a big 33 nor is Henson a big 41. The only option is to pull ayalas redshirt or you will have Ayala and Cullen battling for the 33 spot next season
Lol I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were the only one with facts around here. Your info and opinion is worth about as much as mine: jack squat. Not sure why you feel the need to argue with me.
I wish I had a crystal ball like a few of you guys do. Yeesh.
They know ALL the tangibles.I wish I had a crystal ball like a few of you guys do. Yeesh.
such a lazy take. what’s the point of posting on a fan forum if you don’t want to discuss the results on the mat, where the team stands, and what the future might look like? it’s the whole point.I wish I had a crystal ball like a few of you guys do. Yeesh.
It's the cesspool...we don't use our crystal balls to predict the stock market, just for future wrestling lineups.I wish I had a crystal ball like a few of you guys do. Yeesh.
Ok I’m good with that. Now tell me. Say the keep the redshirt you ok with Ayala losing a season? Asking
That isn't the context of the statement. It is the declaration of "truth" for a young man's best interest.
If Drake wins 3 titles and Jesuroga comes in and competes for a title right away, then yes I would be okay with Drake losing a year.
But I'm not saying him losing a year is the best option. I've said multiple times I think his shirt will get pulled this year (which I agree with).
You and Iron Doc have Moe and Curly covered…. Just need a Larry. I’ve got candidates….
I’m all for “discussing” it. It’s the takes where people pass off their opinions as if facts that’s just ridiculous. But carry on.. I’ll continue with my lazy takes.
Welcome back from your "self-imposed exile"! Thanks for the pbp today.
every post on this forum is an opinion and everyone reading should understand that. do you think we need to begin every post with “now this is only my opinion, but…” or can we trust people to have functional brains?
I just think it is incredibly foolish for fans to be making declarations of what is best for the young man. They don't need any pressure placed on them from fans. Opinions without knowledge tends to not be good. We certainly don't need a T-Shirts repeat. I felt sorry for him. He needed a little more time.
Nick Moore? That’s not good. He used to drive me insane…so talented yet just couldn’t get there. In this day his “don’t take a shot until the end of the 3rd” technique could result in a stall stoppage.
JS is the board know it all. Spends all his time arguing with someone on every thread. He's an LSU football fan which tells you a lot. He's probably a huge Yankees or Red Sox fan. Likes whichever NFL team won 4 or 5 years ago when he was 18. Grew up a PSU fan but now likes Iowa wrestling the last 2 years. Most boys his age have different things on their mind then trying to show wrestling fans how smart you are. He needs a gf or bf in a bad way.
And you liking a guys post who seems to think a redshirt and winning four titles is a thing when it can’t happen!!! SMH pot calling kettle black.
living rent free in your mind apparently.
btw, cubs and bears. lsu fan because my favorite player when i was 6 went there.
couldn’t have got it more wrong lol. i’m negative because all my teams suck and losing is the norm for my fan experience. it’s familiar and i recognize it when i see it. go bury your head in the sand if you’re not mature enough to handle anything negative. this isn’t a safe space snowflake. participation trophy mindset.
Re-read post that you liked from gohawks1996 and you will understand what I’m saying
We're all disappointed in certain results, but doubtful more than the wrestlers themselves. How about we support these guys instead of trashing them?
Trust me, at times I'm about as negative as can be, but I like what I see in PK. He's doing what he needs to do for the most part, though is clearly having trouble finishing things. I don't think anyone's more upset than he is and I'm sure he's going to keep working to right the ship until he's where he needs to be. I feel very comfortable with his stock going into next year.
It appears that js and jr are the same person. Very clever. Now come on here and deny it. 🤣
