So, then have him travel with the team to get better, right?
What's the latest report on DeSanto? Is he done for the year?
- Thread starter HawkCharlotte
- Start date
In my experience there’s a lot of info on the web, usually more than I need. Ahhh, Charlotte as in…Charlottes Web? Could be the issue right there.

Covid bs is ridiculous at this point. Lol
I believed the bs the first 10 times I heard it from the media , after the idiocy of 2 years of nonsense , mehhh.
That cold virus is a tough sob to kill. Lol
The new, "deadly" variant should be out around August in time for the 22 elections. Lol

"He said stay off the boards. It’s not a catastrophe."
If you ask me what this statement means to me is to expect AD back, don't worry. Which leads me to the fact of why burn CS redshirt. Lastly, if you are worried about what will be said here just EXPLAIN.
He's a great coach. He's a great coach. He's a great coach. It is situations like this that I have to keep reminding myself that. 😉 Not that he isn't because he definitely is. .....but to try to get myself to just deal with times like this when he drives us absolutely crazy & I can't come up with reasons why it makes sense to not EXPLAIN.

you know better and still expect it, thats on you not tom
RBY is done after this year with a full year of eligibility. Not everybody wants, or can afford, to spend 6 years in college. Whatever the case with ADS, the decision to wrestle was a combo of Tom and Schriever.
It was me. But I was just hoping it could be the case. I know this is something all the coaches want.
Schriever doesn't wrestle tonight if he doesn't want to. So whatever is going on Schriever was fine taking off the shirt. He could always use it another year if he wants to.
So is Schriever a true freshman like Ayala? Or is this his second year? If it’s the latter then I don’t really see the problem with him wrestling. Other than wrestling coaches not explaining anything is annoying af.
This is an interesting thought. If they require Athletes to get the "vax" and some are against it, how does this play out? Do those kids get hosed, do they get a year back? Very screwed up times we live in!
Regardless, to pull a shirt of one of your teams top young kids would only make sense if this is already known. Also why would this be an issue at the end of the year and not now? Why would B1Gs noy have this requirement in effect now?
With DeSanto having a redshirt year left to burn, I have to believe he may be using it, just my guess based on him not looking right in his last match.
lol did Brands really say “stay off the boards”? That means he’s on them…
And the first year didn't count. Up until recently, he was redshirting.
The real question is, was he willing to hang around for a 6th year?
No he isn’t, but things that are said here occasionally get back to him.
Here is what google pulled up for me about medical redshirts:
Medical Hardship Requirements:
To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:
* The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
* The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
* The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of
the season.
* The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.
* All of these must be proven with documentation. That means medical documentation to prove the injury and
that it was season-ending and participation information to show that the student-athlete did not play in too many contests.
WITH THAT SAID:
I posted this on twitter last night asking what the 2nd half of the season is and someone tweeted this to me in response:
“Second half of the season is different for every team - it is the 2nd half of each team’s individual schedule. If you have 16 dates, it would be your 9th contest. In Iowa’s case, last night’s dual was the start of their 2nd half.”
So I am guessing it COULD be a medical redshirt season for Desanto.

I would assume so… how many was he “out” of besides the Purdue dual? I really don’t know…
It really is too bad there aren't any websites where you could go to look this kinda stuff up on.
Wish someone here in the Cesspool would take it upon themselves to provide this service.
Oh Well...................
DeSanto has already competed in over 30% of the season and more than 3 contests so I don't think he qualifies for a medical redshirt. My GUESS is that he is dinged up and getting healthy for what is important. While he rests, Schriever goes and gets some much needed experience in the Hawkeye lineup. Schriever will still be able to redshirt in the future if need be and if not he will have 3 years to earn the opportunity to be the man and compete for a national title. Nothing is ever gaurenteed... injuries happen, new recruits come in and earn spots. Seize the opportunity when it is presented. Go Hawks!
i’m definitely not claiming to have inside information but I didn’t think it was that hard to figure out what he meant.
Most D1 coaches want true freshman to be able to participate in a handful of duals without losing their redshirt. Football does it.
So Schreiver is a "redshirt freshman" now which we all agree. If I read the NCAA website rules correctly
because his first year of admission regardless of if he competed or not was 2020-2021 he qualifies
for the "free Covid year". So kinda semantics here regarding "pulling his shirt". I'm thinking
he still has 4 years of competition coming AFTER this season even IF he wrestles all year.
Of course that's asking him to run the race for a full 6 years. I could be reading it wrong but I certainly
trust the Brands know exactly all the ins and outs of Covid/redshirt rules and Cullan himself is involved in the
decision making so no reason to be overly anxious on this.

A friend of mine mentioned that Desanto got into it with Minnesota wrestlers after the meet, could it possibly just be disciplinary action?
That isn't how redshirts work. Assad is the only starter who could still take a redshirt year (but that can't be this season).
I guess Ayala is technically our starter now at 125, so he could also take a redshirt in the future.
FWIW Not seeing Eierman or DeSanto last night my first thought was, “nice to see those guys getting rotated out for a week and really nice seeing the new faces.” I’m sticking with that.
Maybe What Tom knows about Covid and NCAA wrestling is that they are gonna let student athletes wrestle a few matches and still keep the redshirt. Maybe a wild guess
Well, if we add a few Last Chance Opens to the schedule than maybe we can get DeSanto to < 30% of the competitions
Things will work out.
Our coaching staff KNOWS what its doing.
