He previously said he rapidly jumped all the way up to over 300 pounds. He dominated this college season, right up until Gable Dan got Dan Gable'd. His spare tire is noticeable, and he was the MOW favorite this weekend right up until he was upset. It's the million dollar questions all season: is he taking it serious, and is he getting in shape or is he just coasting?
I am a huge Hendrickson supporter as has been noted many times, and also a Steveson Eye Test guy. I was wrong when I thought Steveson would cruise. So very, very wrong. The Taylor effect is real when Hendrickson had already nearly teched Parris and is taking leaps.
So the question is what happens next? US Open is just around the corner, WTT after, and Final X this summer. Does Gable get serious and regain his place domestically as a first step? Is Hendrickson gapping him? Where does Parris fall into all of this? Is Kerk going to recover from yet another tear to disrupt the brackets during this quad?
Even I thought these questions foolish considering Steveson's senior run on minimal training, but now it's real. Shiit has officially hit the fan.
