Extra covid year, with a piece of NIL included. The game is to spend a whole year acting like you are probably not coming back and leverage a bunch of NIL money to return. Add Bartlett to your list, too.
I don't think Trent would get a wrestle-off.
I'd imagine Taylor is in Stillwater full time within the next week or two. Probably sooner rather than later.
Fun fact: Taylor wrestled Kennedy's sister in 8th grade. He was terrified of her because she had a mean headlock and was a girl. Very scary for a prepubescent boy. Taylor won by fall.
Years later, he married the girl with the mean headlock.
Here's a complete guess with no basis in reality, other than they grew up as really close friends/training partners: Logan Stieber to Oklahoma State.
(My guess is he is too tight with everyone at the other OSU, but would be very interesting!)
Yes it is all very weird. I hope he is our man in Paris (and wins gold), and I hope nothing funky happens to the NCAA results. Just something that occurred to me!
I think it is fine with NCAA if you have TUE, however I think it is possible that if you are disciplined by the governing body of your sport then the NCAA disciplines you as well? I suppose things could get very complicated.
UNI wrestler had a recent tweet making fun of the lack of natural light in Iowa's room. Meanwhile the UNI room that he was bragging about had several pillars in the middle of it. I would rather get artificial light than have Keckheisen concuss me with a blast double into the pillar.
I had a room with natural light... it is too dark to notice during the winter and if the light hits the mats during the summer they can get too hot to touch.
Also, people seem not to realize that all the "greys" in the Iowa facility are because it isn't finished yet.
