I can also see Lee going somewhere and making that place into an Iowa. Much like Gable did after he left ISU.

Nope.

Wash your mouth out. Shame on you! 🦅

It wasn’t intentional. ISU massively f’ed up. Big time.

Potential there but missing a lot of proof for the most part. PK about even with Bull, Cullan a slight drop from ADS but could gain by next year. Nelson a long ways behind finalist potential Kem. Giant hole at 157. I'm high on Wyatt but a good ways behind Eierman although 141 clears out next year. 184 needs to get in order as well.

I don’t think we can say Cullan is only a slight drop from ADS at this point (hope I’m wrong). ADS should finish around 3rd this year with lots of bonus, and I’d like to see him get another crack at RBY as he’s had injuries (thumb and knee) in a few of their recent matches. It’s sad we only have one more year to watch him wrestle.

ADS scored 1.5 points less than Storacci and 2 points less than Aaron Brooks.

What is crazy is Eierman scored more than Storacci and equaled Brooks.

Wow I missed that. Cullen is coming along but I don’t see him as an AA type. Round of 12 is his high end potential THIS year, IMHO.

You wish.

Great interview from Spencer explaining how he got to where he is today. He is such a team first guy, you can't help but respect him as a person. I completely get why he chose the route he did. As it turns out, he should have done this last April, but hindsight is always 20/20. If he makes it back next year at 100% he will be an absolute monster. He deserves to wrestle healthy at some point in his career. If Iowa lets him leave for anywhere else after he hangs his shoes up it will be a colossal mistake. He really is like a new generation Gable IMO.

mineo did ask me when he's having surgery and i told him that i heard it was friday. but that's it. i certainly didn't 'feed' him the story and hadn't spoken to him at all before he initially tweeted it.

This is confirming the story, and to think otherwise is silly. He runs on message board fodder so this is a golden ticket.

I see Spencer is having both knees fixed.

Since I've had an ACL replacement, I'm curious as to what specific type of ACL repair technique they are using.

Is the following procedure still the latest procedure used by Dr. Robby Westermann uses at the U of I?

New type of ACL surgery helps Sage earn a spot on one of the nation’s top college wrestling teams

UI Sports Medicine uses the innovative quadricep tendon graft procedure for ACL repair to get athletes back to action sooner.

This situation was so poorly managed it's incredible. Sorry, but unless he damaged something else then this should have been evident months ago that he needed it.

Don’t understand why surgery wasn’t done during the off season.

yeah but that’s just like spencer’s opinion man

 

[MVPFAN]

Anyone else need to make the statement that they don't understand why he didn't have surgery during the off season?
