1. I was responding to a poster who suggested we sit Dee next year to accommodate Facundo moving to 165. That is insane.
2. I am not seeing a ton of improvement this year, but I am going to withhold judgment through NCAAs, if for no other reason than that we do not have a viable option to replace him.
lol why are you so bent out of shape about my question? It’s not any more insane than 90% of stuff that gets posted on here.
I don’t think we have the luxury to RS anyone who has a chance to compete at the top end nationally.
PSU isn’t going anywhere and we need to find ways to stay in the spotlight or even steal it in the years they are going to run away with a team championship.
We did it in 24/25 with Wyatt and need Vega, LR, Dee and perhaps a surprise Jax to do it again this year.
IMO that’s what it is going to take to keep the momentum needed to really run down PSU.
Go put 3 or 4 FR in the finals and 1 or 2 winning it is how you keep the foot on the gas.
Just my 2 cents.

Haha it's more that people keep misconstruing my response to your question like I'm advocating for benching Facundo immediately. I am all for giving him through March to prove himself and hope he does.
I have no issue batting around crazy redshirt scenarios and off-the-wall lineup ideas. That is what this board is for. Merry Christmas.
We knew that this year would not be copetitive. Heavier young wrestlers take longer to mature and compete as opposed to the lighter weight wrestlers. I think Merrill, Dee, and Facundo will keep improving. that does not mean that we shouldn't recruit at those wieights. With redshirts available to incoming freshmen, this group will be seniors before eligibility is used.
Can’t worry too much about PSU. No dynasty lasts forever. Do our thing, become a destination, let David and staff build and develop these guys. I mean yeah we want to beat PSU but the focus needs to be on internal development and recruiting. IMO and I’m definitely an expert. I also desperately want to join the shin kicking team!
“Can’t worry too much about PSU” amen to that. We need to compare ourselves to ourselves and our own goals. PSU has been rolling for years now and we have been falling behind everyone of those years, DT. Is the magic man but that kind of momentum and success doesn’t happen overnight. If we wring our hands and hang around our heads because we can’t compete yet with them, then we will always be disappointed, but we keep improving and building on our successes, we will be competing in a short amount of time.
tonight taylor bless his heart couldn’t run and he had no chance
best he could do was an ankle throwing tantrum
Yeah I don't get the poor sportsmanship from Taylor. It was a good match, I didn't see anything for him to act that way
Well looks like if Robideau stays at 157 Taylor will get a rematch since he will be a senior next year. They probably see each other twice, in Stillwater and at National Duals. That is unless Taylor ducks again at NDLS.
I always thought he was a b—-h.
Welp we stole the spotlight again this year
It’s what we have to try to do until we can really mount a challenge. Saying it and doing it are two different things and it’s amazing what DT has been able to do the last 2 years!!
