Forrest in Figs out. 133 Gauntlet

[Antitroll2828]

Figs by all accounts is done at ok state. Saturday night David Taylor was interviewed that they had someone not giving the effort required and it was unacceptable and would be addressed, I wonder if he was talking about Figs who was noticeably absent from the line up and team photo on Sunday. Now word is out Jax Forrest is reclassifying and will be the 133 2nd semester. Ok State has exactly 4 competition dates left 1st semester and Ramirez has 4 free dates left to keep his redshirt intact. 
 

133 is now absolutely loaded with Byrd, Ayala, Davino, Blaze, Jax, Crookham plus AAs Fuggit, Shawver,Frost, Knox Van Dee and young guys like Larkin and Campbell. This may be an all time bracket

Does he still get to keep the NIL?

Could be but Figs was MIA after his loss

I think Swiderski is wrestling hard, just unsuccessfully, maybe focusing too much on some of his out of bounds efforts!

Yes.  I go back to the Real Woods match when the Ski was a freshman and it was blamed on Woods! Real has shown since that he is a pretty good guy, regardless of the occasional keylock throw.

Deep cut going back to the tournament where Stanford wrestling was saved by an investment analyst

Yes, but he pulled it out a couple times after as well.  Or attempted to.

All of these guys are good wrestlers without redshirts left to use and who seem to be on the outside looking in:

125: Brendan McCrone / Vinny Kilkeary
133: Richie Figueroa /  Max Leete
141: Evan Frost
149: Casey Swiderski / Jacob Frost
157: Teague Travis / Joe Sealey
165: Aiden Riggins / e'Than Birden
174: Clayton Whiting
184: Gabe Arnold
197: Connor Mirasola
285: Lucas Cochran

this would have to be the greatest bracket of all time right if Forrest goes? I think there is a real world where 2x national finalist Drake Ayala does not AA at this weight and if I were predicting it today I would have him 7th behind in no order Forrest,Davino,Byrd,Knox,Crookham,Blaze.

The wise thing to do would be to use Jax's 5 dates to assess where the team is. Using a year on second semester when your team is not going to win a team title would be a waste.

Figs was not MIA after his loss.  He was actually on the bench and warming up for the match against Ayala, but he did not get the nod for that match.

I say the wise thing is to wait to see how 5 for 5 plays out and take the most advantage of it.  That wouldn't start until next year at earliest.  Will guys enrolled this year be grandfathered in?  Might as well play it safe.

Notice Cael wrestling the true freshmen Blaze and Duke.  Might get five years of eligibility out of them, might not, but shirting them would eliminate any chance of 5 national titles.

Is Figs off the team?  Do we see him somewhere else second semester?

Meanwhile, the final boss lurks, waits, learns, and posts pictures of himself at Chipotle and the local hibachi when his parents visit him in the US.

It's clearly at GIA, not the BOK.

Dreshaun Ross to the right of Jax too. I think we can put the "Dreshaun to Michigan for football" rumor to bed, at least for the time being.

Yeah it looks like the reason the photo was posted was someone asking about Brayden Thompson not being in Tulsa so they posted that photo to show him supporting the team at the prior dual

I don't know if Figs is in or out at 133, but I know his conditioning is crap. If he's going to hang around and continue wrestling he needs to get into shape. 

[Nak21]

MAJOR GRAIN OF SALT but saw a minnow tweet that Jax isn’t gonna be wrestling 2nd semester. Figs may still have had enough and the other guy goes. All can happen at once.

That arm drag/head push combo in the second takedown is fiiiiiire. Dang

[1032004]

Well I guess Figs wasn’t “done at OK State” after National Duals at least
