Kansasdeanhwt Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Question. hypothetically if spencer would have gone to PSU is their a scenario where his knees would have maybe help up better because PSU would not have needed him to wrestle or be the only face of the program. I’m sure the pressure to carry Iowa and be the face of their program carried extra burden on him and his body.

They rehabbed right, took the time off, did all the right things, and still ended up tearing something again. Edited March 18, 2023 by russelscout

He should be good to go moving forward. But he has had the injury bug since late in his HS career I Don't Agree With What I Posted

But he has had the injury bug since late in his HS career The bug was the same shoulder over and over that he originally hurt at beast against crookham I believe and then really messed up against pat mckee in the R16 at ncaas ….hopefully now it’s finally good bc of the long put off surgery but you never know with shoulders

In the business world - you place the company first, not yourself. In sports, you place the team first - not just you or your emotions. You suck it up, especially at this level - and you go out in style with gratitude and appreciation for those around you who helped you all along the way. Thats the right thing to do and the mature thing to do. Again - I hope he shows up for the medal so Spencer can see just what he meant to everyone including the fans. 2
