Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Looking at the current crop of underclassmen and even the incoming class, there doesn't seem to anyone who can "be the next Spencer Lee". Meaning the next dominant 4x NCAA champ who totally dominates and pins everyone. Is there someone I don't know about who has the potential to be the next Spencer Lee? Is Cody Chittum the closest?

Lee is a singularity. But there will be other greats in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragit Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Lee is a force of nature. I don't expect to see anyone replicate the way he tore through NCAAs (including destructions of a past and future NCAA champ) a year after major knee surgery and nine months after graduating from high school.

SocraTease Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) It's much easier to dominate at the very lowest weight (compared to other weights), especially for a guy who stayed there (what?) for 6 years. It's extremely hard to dominate at middle and upper weights for younger guys because your body is not fully mature and your opponents often are. Lee has enormous hand and arm strength and most guys outgrow 125. It's very difficult for someone to stay there for 3 or 4 years. Just sayin' Edited March 15, 2023 by SocraTease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue chip prospects are just that, and Lee was the best get at his weight. The point I was trying to make is Spencer wasn't always considered automatic in college. Gimpy knees and the footwork of Sebastian Rivera sometimes made me doubt him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchapman Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Approaching 100 career wins in five seasons of competition, Spencer Lee has shown the blueprint to success. Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
