The reason: in addition to the injuries, it seems the pressure of being the guy that was supposed to "save" Iowa wrestling has gotten to him (which is a lot of pressure!). At PSU he would've been just another of their national champs and wouldn't have had to have the spotlight mostly to himself, which he has now admitted he doesn't want.

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 There are notable differences in training philosophies between Iowa and other programs. Take a look at HR and you'll see many Iowa fans talking about how injuries seem to hit them more than other teams. It's not just a Spencer issue...many star Hawkeyes have struggled to stay healthy throughout a season and there's a reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible Iowa might have an issue with guys wearing down a bit by the end of the season, but for one that wasn’t Lee’s problem. And PSU has had no shortage of guys with “traditional” injuries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the dude is 24 years old and his dad is giving interviews for him... I dunno. Compare PSU and Iowa's handling of Suriano and Lee, respectively. Suriano wanted to wrestle in the postseason. PSU would have loved him to, but thought he was too injured. Suriano disagreed, strongly. PSU held its ground, and in the resulting dust-up, Suriano transferred. PSU showed it'd rather lose one of their top guys than let him wrestle with too much of an injury. Lee? Just the opposite. Lee gets injured right before NCAAs, and Iowa throws him out there anyway. In fact, time after time, Iowa let Lee wrestle while badly injured. How much did Lee exacerbate his injuries by wrestling in these situations? I have no doubt that Lee, like Suriano, wanted to go. That's what thoroughbreds do. But Iowa didn't say no. Its the job of coaches to put the wrestler before the program, and hold them back if that's what the trainers/doctors recommend -- to the team's detriment if necessary. I thought it was sort of poetic that the most recent withdrawal happened just before a match between Suriano and Lee. Not that we'll ever know for sure if Surano would've exacerbated his injuries if PSU threw him out there when they shouldn't have, or if Lee would be healthier today if Iowa prioritized Lee's long-term health over their short-term lusting for a title. I have my suspicions. But the bottom line is that on the eve of Worlds, and just a year before the Olympics, Surano can go, and Lee can't. But hey, at least Iowa got its team title. That's all that matters right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokemonster Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Did Spencer's dad state why he was giving the interview and now Spencer himself? Seems.... strange to have your dad do that. Askren even commented on FRL how Spencer is focusing entirely too heavily on what others think and not focusing on what matters. I think he's mentally hitting a wall of some sort.
