Yeah boy

I don't believe Sidakov is allowed to compete, correct?

Or it could just be that Cael creates an environment that prioritizes spiritual/mental health and not being overly obsessed with the results. Perhaps he shows the athletes, with his own actions and faith, that wrestling is something they do - not who they are. It probably is very freeing for the athletes to compete and not have their whole identity teetering on whether they win or lose.

And that does not even account for Mesenbrink, who may be their true prize from the portal.

Triply that he is winning against Thompson and/or Thompson is not ready to go yet.

Interesting... if Plott is a full sized 184 he would be on a short list of title contenders with Keck, Truax, Munoz... I do not foresee him breaking into the top 3 at 174 with Starr, Foca & Lewis so this might be the best move for him. Would have to think that Wittlake would go down to 174 if Plott goes up. Wittlake would be in the AA mix at 174.

They tried to destroy evidence?

Plot wrestled 79kg for u23

Correct, it was one calendar year. The NCAA honored the suspension so he was suspended the remainder of his Oly Redshirt year and then could come back in Jan or Feb following his International suspension ending. The difference is that the NCAA did not suspend him for 1 wrestling season but rather 1 calendar year (in accordance with his international suspension). It worked out well for Daton.

It’s definitely an imperfect system. It will be interesting to see how the appeal process goes for these Iowa wrestlers. I have not heard what they bet on yet. I’m guessing that the the Iowa WBB tourney run was part of the bets for Cass, Brands, Assad, Sebreicht.

Yeah, I don’t think that will work though.

At this point in time Brayton Lee is highly unlikely to make a freestyle olympic/world run. Pick the weight class he is best suited for at NCAA's and give it one last go.

You cannot redshirt your way out of a suspension.

Julian Broderson is a 174 pounder going up two weights. I don’t really think we can accurately project what he’s going to look like until we see it. VV - Swiderski should be considered a toss up in my opinion.

I cannot speak for the corporate world, I’m not employed but a large corporation. But I know that there is a huge shortage or workers for skilled labor positions in the trades. The trades typically pay fair. My moms clothing store was offering part time sales consultants $25/hr plus commission and she didn’t even have people applying for the job.

Exactly. Special interest groups, lobbyists and corporate America have most politicians that rise the ranks under their thumbs (dem or republican). Even most people that enter politics with the right intentions end up compromised. The only politicians that I trust are two local legislators that I have known my entire life and that have not rose up the political ladder. They haven’t risen because they have morals, integrity and actually earnestly push to help protect the common man.

Don’t be obtuse. The purchasing price of a dollar has decreased significantly in the last 3 years. Inflation rates have run rampant. Federal shutdowns and the fallout from them (supply chain issues, folks not wanting to work, even more American manufacturing shuffled to other countries, etc) have caused the value of the dollar to plummet.

Exactly. Competition in the market place is what drives price. When the prices are basically unknown and there is a lot of unnecessary markup, the consumer gets screwed.

Going up two weight classes in one offseason would be a tall task but I think Swiderski definitely has the frame to fill into 157 eventually. He is pretty long limbed.

I'm not saying that America's system is good - just that Canada's should not be held up as the signing star. I would like to have a full private, non insurance bases system where you can shop around for the best price and you know exactly what you are going to pay up front. In fact there is a hospital in I believe Oklahoma City that does just that.

It is not free, its paid for in their taxes. It's not accessible - it takes half a year to move from primary appointment to appointment with a specialist. What is the point of a "free" health care system if it's not accessible?

Are you accusing me of making my information up? You are something else... They are waiting half a year on average between referral from GP doc to appointment with specialist. "Canada's healthcare system, called Medicare, was once the country's pride and joy. But as the program enters its seventh decade, public opinion is starting to turn. Just over half of Canadians said they were satisfied with their healthcare system in 2022, down from nearly 70% in 2020. It's easy to see why. Waits are interminable. In 2022, Canadian patients waited a median 27.4 weeks between referral from a general practitioner and receipt of treatment from a specialist, according to the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver think tank. That's nearly two weeks longer than the median wait time in 2021—and almost triple the 9.3 weeks Canadians waited on average in 1993. And since private health insurance is illegal for care the government deems medically necessary, patients can't pay a premium to escape the queue." https://www.forbes.com/sites/sallypipes/2023/01/17/close-the-border-to-canadian-health-care/?sh=674849b971bd

I will be praying for you and your family. Pray that God's grace & peace is manifested on you all. God bless 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 KJV "9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Yes that’s true. One is private and one is govt. Goes to show that unions also suck though (another dem stronghold)
