Terry Brands Quote re: Spencer Lee

[tigerguy_]

Taken from Blair's article on the front page:

Q: Do you ever take the time to reflect back on what Spencer Lee did this year? It’s pretty amazing given the injury he had a year ago.

BRANDS: I don’t know that I sit back and reflect. I am really pleased with the way he competed. He was impressive down the stretch and impressive out front. What he did was not easy and to be able to come back from not just a knee injury, but a shoulder injury as well. He is probably stronger and better than he ever has been and that’s a testament to his work ethic........

To think that he is even stronger is crazy, because I thought from the first time seeing him wrestle that his strength/grip must be insanely strong already.

as gibbons mention in the dual against tOSU, Lee must be the best rope climber with grip he has in his hands and forearms

Hate Iowa but will be Pennsylvania proud when he goes down as the best wrestler that school has ever had.

Probably how some Ohio fan feels about PSU's best wrestler being from Ohio. LOL

Hard to say that. Ruth, Retherford and, eventually, Nolf have a pretty compelling argument.

Zain is from PA.

Just as the folks from South Dakota, Illinois or New York are pretty proud of some guys that have come through Iowa.

Lee is all Iowa! Not even Cael and his $ could keep him from leaving PA

As do non-PA guys Nickal (Texas) and Hall (MN)

I imagine many from Iowa are “Iowa Proud” that it took a great wrestler from Iowa State to finally get that PSU program to the top, despite being located right in the center of arguably the best wrestling state in the country.

I thought Hall was from Kentucky

...or from Texas...or Minnesota...or California.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I thought Hall was from Kentucky

And Nickal was originally from Wyoming. Just like that Ohio guy, David Taylor. (Hall started out in Michigan.)

Oh look, the resident dumbfck is here.

 

[rustynailhawk]

Our best so far is from Lincoln, I mean North Dakota, crap I mean South Dakota ... idk?!?!?

 

[MSU158]

Oh look, the resident dumbfck is here.

I really L I K E you!

I have my own personal stalker. As the saying goes,"You aren't a true forum poster until you have your own stalker!"

Thanks for letting me know all my hard work has paid off. Keep up the good work and I just may send you an autographed photo!

Says the resident jerkoff...

We didn't have enough Lee threads at the top so...Bump

Hall is NOT from MN! Michigan, I guess is his identity. New rule in MN in regards to not repeating Varsity seasons has been installed. The "Hall Rule" in regards to being a Redshirt 7th grader. Sad really. He is very smart book wise. His daddy is making out just fine at Happy Valley. wtf


EDIT: Sorry for thread jacking this away from Lee

Can you explain the rule change please?

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

Thanks! For setting this all straight. From an Iowa farm kid living in CA to (I assume) another Iowa born and raised kid living in CA.

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

To get back to the article ... Lee does seem to be crazy strong with the hands and forearms.

 

[Another_One_Bites_The_Dust]

Can you explain the rule change please?

Because Hall repeated 7th grade, MN now has a rule installed which states a wrestler is only allowed 6 seasons to participate in varsity (maybe JV) competition.

Iowa needs to implement this and get some of those kids wrestling varsity. Way too many forfeits in dual meets

 

[Squarehat]

If you can drive in junior high you're you're ineligible

 

[Inthecircle]

If you can drive in junior high you're you're ineligible

Unless you’re from South Dakota.

 

[nearfall2]

Unless you’re from South Dakota.

Or Iowa!!! Can drive to school at 14 and 1/2 (last couple of months for 8th graders if born Aug. to Nov.) if you live more than 1 mile from school.

 

[Themanintheyellowhat]

The big question is " What state doe he identify with?" Just trying to keep it PC.
