Vince Turk returns

Glad he’s back, but can we get some high school recruiting news and some high levels ones?!?
 
my thought is that he should be an asset to the program because he already knows what is expected and IF THE MILITARY helped him mature and grow both physically and mentally he would be an excellent training partner even if he doesn't break into the starting lineup . Sometimes being away and not cutting weight allows the body to grow and mature and even heal up if needed. I just think TnT would definitely determine who and who not they would allow back into the room if there was any underlying concerns with him.
 
I guess I’m in the minority here but I see Murin as a solid wrestler and a low AA should be his floor..... he was right there last year..... another year in the room..... hopefully a healthy year
his biggest hurdle is between the ears.... he should be gaining maturity every year.... that should help
I’m all for Turk being back in the room I just think Murin is the clear cut starter

They're both experienced fringe AA types. Until they prove otherwise that's who they are. If Turk is a full fledged 149 lber these days, this will be a coin flip situation IMO. And their spot on the podium as well, without some improvement. They're both solid, we could and have had worse options.

Just my opinion.... said I was probably in the minority..... respect your thoughts but I think Murin has the higher ceiling and is more consistent...... you know what they say about opinions 😎

I'm not arguing, and you may not be in the minority. Both are capable DI wrestlers. Either could sneak on to the podium, but I'll believe it when I see it. Be happy to see it.

I actually see murin in the 4-6 range ( or better). I’d put money on it.
I agree with this. If I remember correctly I think Murin got Covid right after big tens last year, which forced him to miss the majority of his practice time leading up to nationals. If he’s healthy heading into nationals I think he’s an AA already. There’s nothing wrong with a little competition though, so I’m okay with Turk coming back.

Mono not covid.

It was mono, and he didn't step on the mat until nationals.
 
Just curious...if one has mono, are they more or less likely to contract it again at some point. Or...no difference?
Pretty sure you're never supposed to get it again once you've had it.

When I had it during high school football the impression my parents and coaches gave me is that since I had it I wouldn't ever get mono again.

Funny side note that this made me remember, I have to laugh at our old football water fountain (a long pvc pipe hooked up to a garden hose) that we'd all be drinking from... Pretty sure that's how I got mono, don't think that would fly during Covid days 😅

and god knows how many concussions.... I remember playing football hell in practice getting a knee in the side of the helmet.... and actually losing consciousness for a second...... and it’s go sit a play out until the stars go away and right back in.....wasn’t any concussion protocol..... no wonder I can’t remember anything 😜

When I took a knee to the side of the helmet in college I was out much longer than a second. Woke up to a circle of trainers around me and one side of my body was numb and tingling. Got a nice little ambulance ride strapped to a board out of that one.
 
With all these head injury stories, the cesspool is now making more sense to me. Not sure what it says about me that I love the cesspool but have never had a head injury. I'm sure my wife has the answer.
 
you are on- murin AA you pay— if he doesn’t qualify obviously you win, if he doesn’t wrestle it’s a push

Hopefully he wrestles. Is there an injury to be concerned about? (Just to be clear, I hope Muirn proves me wrong. He's a good kid.)

no, just don’t want to lose to a technicality and it’s a long season. Also, maybe out of the blue turk finds some other shots than his nice double and beats murin.(very slim chance)Glad he is returning, Turk really is a tough customer and has shown flashes of being an AA type wrestler. I just feel Max is going to be the high to mid AA wrestler. I remember watching him last summer against the top 49 guys and was right there. Does anyone know where Yianni is wrestling, 41 or 49?

The pvc pipe have little holes drilled into the top? Lol we had the same thing in middle school. Like a bunch of little water fountains. Had to get on the dumber guys all the time for putting their mouth on that thing Yeah the days of everyone drinking out of the same bottles is over with.
Our main problem in HS was the damn guys on the bench, well sidelines we had no bench lol, would suck down all the water. Then when we had a break there would be hardly any water left lol. Our coach would go ape shit.
In college we had these rolling water tanks with like four hoses hooked to them It kept the water nice and cold until someone stuffed a big rub of snuff into the end of the hose smh. That was the end of that machine lol.

I tutored a couple of linemen at UNI for their Spanish class. That was one of my best investments of time. Those guys seriously had my back after that. So I won’t be making any linemen jokes here. Lol
