is Richie Figueroa injured?

Bardamu911 · November 19

Figs MFF'd out of the Daktronics open this weekend but I've heard no updates. Is he out? is he good to go for OSU Sunday? anyone heard anything?

poke1 · November 20

I hope he's wrestling this weekend. If so it will make for a fun weekend for Spratley. (Spratley's got Volk on Friday night and Fig on Sunday afternoon). And from what I hear in room, Spratley whether win or loose he's wants to wrestle everyone in the room. He's not afraid of anyone.

Wrestling injuries are always kept quiet. Probably because it would make it easier to target the person's vulnerabilities. But then it makes us wonder whether someone is having a bad day or if they are actually injured.

Its not like Jones is gonna rush to get him out there, he's probably trying to find a computer virus to purge the internet of film.

Love Roark. Coached him some over the years. Good friends with his older brother Will. Brady is a great kid. Excited about his future.

Can you tell us which guys are afraid and won't wrestle everyone in the room?

poke1 · November 22

I don't think any of them are afraid! I was just trying to explain Spratley's character. I have been told he has no fear and is always trying roll with the mid weight guys (ex: 157lbers). So because of that they have nicknamed him "Sparky" like a sparkplug cause he is always full of energy and ready to go with anyone.

Which guys? Quite honestly, most of the little guys.

I was a middle weight guy as a freshman. I didn't wrestle the 197 and Hwt guys until my junior year. I had to spend a few years drilling and in the weight room before I could even consider it,.

I get it - to say we aren't 'afraid' is one thing.

But to get smacked around like a rag doll isn't any fun.

Why were you going with 197/HWT as a middle weight? Why would you want to I guess I am asking?

Like I posted, I was a middleweight as a freshman. I didn't wrestle against 197/Hwt guys until my junior year.

By then I was walking around in the upper 180's. In the previous couple years, I wouldn't wrestle those guys.

See above post, by my junior year I was big enough to wrestle against 197/Hwt. Wasn't a daily thing, but sometimes the odd-man out didn't have anybody to wrestle. I liked getting the feel of how strong those guys were.
