Witcraft got smoked by Bailey. I think OSU should run with Cael Hughes, not Witcraft.

I don’t think anyone expected Witcraft or Young to win, Fish was a disappointment, but it happens.

Jordan Williams keeping David Taylor up at night!  Big mistake letting him go.

Did you see the match?  Do you know what he did to get kick out?

He wasn’t dropped from the program over his wrestling skills.

No I haven't seen the match yet, just saw the result. And I heard he violated the alcohol policy. I feel coaches should help kids showing signs of substance abuse rather than kick them off the team. I can't help but think if Chance would have been helped sooner he could have avoided alot of trouble.

Jordan Williams can wrestle and I like seeing him succeed at little rock.

According to Jordan himself, David Taylor and the staff saved his life.

Very cool article, thanks for sharing that.  It still sounds like maybe Taylor could have gotten more involved with trying to help Williams before giving him the boot.  It sounds like Erisman and little rock is a good fit. I hope Williams continues to succeed there.

Makes sense if folks with substance abuse issues make rational decisions. But, they don't. You can't empathize away substance abuse. Thus, the 1st of the 12 steps.

Per the linked article, it seems like kid took the first step.

Then it sounds like you don't know the reason.  

And how many shots did JW take in this match you didn't see? 

And maybe he needed to be in a different place to move on.  He's got a good coach and with a good program.

Very cool story about Carter and Jordan. It was not a bad move for Taylor.... it ended up being a win win for everyone involved. That's what you want to see happen.
