Spencer Withdraws from US Open
- Thread starter GracefromAbove
- Start date
Thought Spencer shaking his head after his quarters match was a reflection of how he wrestled. Seems it was for another reason. I trust Spencer's corner here. Always new starting lines head. He is with the HWC for 5 years. Get healthy, Spencer!
Gable Steveson predicted a couple weeks ago that Spencer's next move would be surgery. Gable was only off by 3 matches.
Time to get healthy on his own schedule now. He will be back!
Starting to wonder if the prophecy of his future is not going to pan out.
Well, this should quiet those who allege he was healthy at NCAA tourney.
But also f those guys.
Seems like the complete opposite on social media.
You sound stupid
That is an embarrassment. Unreal. The kid needs to pack it in and begin a coaching career if that's the eventual goal. Excuses are for wussies. Even if excuses aren't for wussies, communicate with your potential opponent and his coaches.
I have no knowledge of anything, but he looked tired before he even stepped on the mat against Smith. It looks like a viral infection to me. He has no ooomf. No real idea what is going on, but it did not look like knees to me. It is possible that having a physical injury drains him mentally, but it looks viral to me.

The wrestling world is a laugh. They get abused by PSU non stop, take it with a smile and thank them and then turn around and throw shade at Iowa just to be jerks.
Listened to Lee's father, who just said Spencer is not 100% and was not at the ncaa's either, but did not give any specifics. Said Spencer was "pushing it" and needs more time to get better, and stressing that the 2024 Olympics is now the goal. So who knows - could be the attempted rapid recovery after bilateral knee surgeries or something else.

Just listened to Larry Lee's full interview. Well spoken man and great father.
If you watch his match vs Smith today he has him laced up multiple times but couldn't roll him. It wasn't because Smith is that good it's because Spencer doesn't have the leg drive/strength to do it. A healthy Spencer rolls him all over the mat.
Sorry still drinking since the Nagao decision. Lol Bust still think Spencer will not make a world or Olympic team due to knees and conditioning
