Pinnacle Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 “I remember one year because the Minnesota coaches told me that Dustin Schlatter tore up his knee. Came to Big Tens, and they said ‘Seed him 12th.’ That’s being transparent because Dustin Schlatter was obviously a three-time All-American and it was his senior year,” Manning said. “That’s just the right thing to do, not ‘Well, we don’t know, we’re going to evaluate tomorrow.’ Well, the guy didn’t wrestle in either tournament. There’s a reason why the guy didn’t wrestle. Minnesota handled it the right way – they came in and said it.” Starocci is seeded 9th at NCAAs and everyone is complaining about it. This seems more about the fact that PSU wins all the time, and Manning shouldn't stoop to such levels as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 For a team that wins all the time, PSU fans might be the most sensitive bunch ever. Good for Manning for calling out PSU and glad he explained himself further. Interesting that he reached out to Surianos before tweeting too. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be transparent about things, like every other sport. Not to mention make PSU wrestle a schedule. 15 matches in 4 months is a joke! Make it 20 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) He's not wrong. PSU gamed the Suriano situation to try to minimize Picc's tournament scoring. And it worked! It comes down to "what's the important thing?" PSU coaches, is it solely their job to win, or do they bear some responsibility to "do right by the sport"? I see both side of that argument. ETA: i don't think the Starocci example is the same situation as Suriano. Edited March 19 by VakAttack 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've never heard the Brand's boys mewling like bitches over people from other teams defaulting out, either. Manning sounds like an excuse-making Karen to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure this bulletin board material will finally get them over the hump. They've been desperately missing that for all these years... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajensen09 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 3 minutes ago, VakAttack said: What do you propose? For one, they need put some kind of guidelines for a schedule. Bump up # of matches needed to wrestle to 20. 15 matches in 4 months is Ridiculous. We are trying to grow the sport, but the "best" team never wrestles. Also if they know a guy isn't going to wrestle, reseed him, don't wreck post seasons for everyone else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VakAttack Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 4 minutes ago, Antitroll2828 said: Manning legitimately seems to believe that Wilson deserved the bid over Starocci I think he feels that Starocci being seeded 1st and defaulting basically blew up the bracket, costing Wilson a spot, not that Wilson should be in over Starocci. It's definitely a loser's lament on Manning's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't break any rules, but it's definitely a little morally gray. As alluded to, "practice" probably consisted of things like hand bike, sit-ups, maybe some side bends and (seated) toe touches.
