mr.nonothingatall Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) Flo is saying he is out for season again. That sucks! Wish him a good recovery, I really wanted to see him again this year Edited January 27 by mr.nonothingatall Full of un-bias blasphemy.
Stillyboy08 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 shame, seems like this is going to be a tale of what could have been
Mr. PeanutButter Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Yikes. Really bummed for him. Hate to see any athlete's career be hampered by recurrent injuries. Cynical take: I wonder if he continues after this and whether he finally stops going for that gruesome rubber knee defense Hyper-cynical take: wonder if the coaching staff is going to come under fire for mismanaging and "ruining" their athletes like certain other coaches are criticized for doing. Sure seems like Lehigh has had a lot of injuries to deal with lately

The obvious conclusion is that Lehigh ruins its wrestlers
TAC Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Hopefully, it is just rumors. I do not think any of the talking heads actually know more than we do at this point. I listened to that segment on Flo, it sounded to me that they were just going off rumors. He is a top 5 type of guy, with a chance to win it if healthy. Of course there is probably 7 or 8 guys that could realistically win 133 this year.

Truzzcat Posted January 28 Posted January 28 From what I know he is a very smart kid and obviously a hard worker so I am sure whatever he does in life he will thrive at. I hope he gets to go out on his own terms though and not because of constant injuries. I was not around for Dustin Schlatter but it sounds like a very similar situation. I am the personal property of VakAttack
Nak21 Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Kid just can’t seem to catch a break. Lost a year in HS, lost 2 now in college. Shame, just seems to have a hard time staying healthy. Brutal sport sometimes.

TAC Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Thanks, that's too bad. Seems like there haven't been many season-ending injuries thus far; hopefully that continues.
juniorvarsity Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Did anyone see the injury? It was at an open tournament that probably had zero formiddable opponents, but he was probably only there because he needed to qualify the weight for EIWA since he was out first semester with only a few matches so far this year.

He just happened to be injured that season as well, eventually coming back in Feb of his SR season. https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/sports/high-school/wrestling/2021/01/14/two-time-pennsylvania-state-champion-wrestler-announces-his-transfer/4160063001/

BloodRound Posted January 28 Posted January 28 A damn shame. At the start of the season, I thought this would be his best shot at a title with the amount of young talent rolling in. I'm curious to see where weight will play out for everyone in the next few years, and whether or not he can stay healthy enough to reach his potential he showed his first time around.
Gene Mills Fan Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) Pretty courageous to give up a knee instead of a TD. I'm talking about a competitive characteristic/instinct and not knocking his technique. Alred's knee went way past 90 in that Fishback scramble. scary Edited January 28 by Gene Mills Fan

Full of un-bias blasphemy.

What is the ref supposed to do when the wrestler repeatedly puts themselves in that situation. Askren always threw out the idea of removing potentially dangerous as a criteria so guys would stop putting themselves in dangerous positions just to get a fresh start. I don't hate the idea.

Sure seems like Lehigh has had a lot of injuries to deal with lately As a general take, it seems like there are a lot more injuries over the past 15 or so years since scrambling became a regular thing. It feels like careers are cut short and/or guys can't get through 4-5 years without at least an injury or two. The gumby, knee twisting stuff might be good to stop takedowns, but at what cost? Ben Askren made it out and I thought Keegan would, but alas.....
Dogbone Posted January 28 Posted January 28 This really sucks for Crookham. It was rumored he might of been able to go in the postseason last year. I don't know if it's true, but this is more of reason why I think that if a guy can go, then he should. Similar to the conversation with Jax, no one knows what will actual happen 4-5 years from now. I don't understand the argument of keeping his RS.

I don't know how much tighter you can ref the action without totally bailing out the guy who gave up a leg in the first place. For every "the ref should have blown the whistle sooner" there are already a dozen accusations that a guy yelped to get a whistle to avoid giving up two like they are soccer players.
D3 for LU Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... nutz! This sucks to the 23rd power! D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
