Is Kask hurt?
- Thread starter aklilly
- Start date
Dunno. Maybe ask Cal. Or Casy.
Does the "Redshirt" poster designation go away when 5 for 5 is passed?
Kasak was hurt at the US Open. It looked to be head related, that's for sure. He fought through it for a couple of matches but later had to MFF out of the tournament. There is no update since, beyond the fact that he did not compete at the World Team Trials last week.
There. That's not so hard is it? Unclear about the defcon 5 riot act that goes on here when a kid is injured. It's every bit as unnecessary as trolling calling Kasak "Kask"
Oh my god, Efejle! I cannot BELIEVE you just said defcon 5!! DEFCON 5 is āDEFCON 5 (least severe, normal peacetime readiness)ā, which is the OPPOSITE of what you needed!!There.

Yeah, the eye test on Duke, for me, is he is thick, shoulders and arms especially.
Will have to check with cstroke to confirm this.
Where did he say that? I'm genuinely asking. It's possible I missed it. But, his quote after nationals about it was:
"I'm not 100% [sure], honestly," Duke said. "I started to figure out things [with weight management] a lot better towards the end of the season. And, I felt great. So, not 100 percent. But, we'll see."
Granted, it certainly doesn't sound good for him making it. But, at least in that quote, he did not outright say he cannot make it.
I suspect you won't get a valid/reliable answer to this question.
But I am a long time member of this board and I demand it.................!!!!!!!!!!!! I added extra punctuation.
Clearly I am not serious.
The staff will figure it out. I am taking a nap.
My daughter had two serious ones. The first one was during skating practice in middle school, fell and was knocked out cold for 5 seconds or so. Then, she concussed herself hitting her head GETTING INTO OUR CAR, after a huge volleyball win. The advice on how to handle concussions had l evolved quite a bit in that short time. After her first one, they did testing at Childrenās in DC and were able to compare that to her results after the second one. Sheās fine today, just finished her first year in her OT Masters program (mom brag 
I believe Smalls was the first to say that Duke was likely only doing 1 season at 157 when he comitted to Penn State.
He has never said anything about never going 157 again. The cut to 157 for him this past season was brutal at times, and he did as noted in this thread acknowledge the cut was rather difficult until he learned to manage it.
If 5 in 5 is passed expect James at 157, Mitchell at 165 and best man standing at 174 (Duke, Henckel, Cunningham).
She may have book knowledge in being OT, but we on this board have practical experience! Let us know if she needs an internship.

Is your daughter studying Occupational Therapy? If yes, with her concussion issues I strongly recommend that she avoid working with severly austic children. My daughter is an OT, worked at a school for severly austic children (which is up to 21 years old). One day, one of the students grabbed her by the head and head butted her. Result, severe concussion, out of work for seven months. The concussion actually changed her eye glass perscription. She finally turned the corner when she saw a physical therapist who specializes in the eyes (didn't know their was such a thing). She still works with kids, however no kid who can reach her head because she truly cannot suffer another concussion. If your daughter has had concussion issues, she needs to beware of who she is working with.My daughter had two serious ones.

This school paid extremely well, it was essentially hazardous duty pay, constantly hit, kicked, etc. God bless people who care for the severly disabled.
My daughter,who was a tremendous highschool athlete suffered 3 bad concussions by her sophomore year. Her last one was when she was starting goalie for varsity and got kneeled in head at practice. Doctors recommended that she give up all contact sports. I bought her a tennis racket and she ended up becoming number 1 on tennis team and took a silver her senior year in district doubles. She was offered a small scholarship at West Chester. She had to step away from tennis in college because of the recurring headaches. Graduated from West Chester , worked 2 years in criminal justice and decided to go to to Penn State to get her law degree,which she did.
It was a difficult time, especially having to give up sports which she loved . She still has side effects from the concussions on occasion.
I'm quite proud of her.

Wait, we have women in our midst?

I'm on the autism spectrum myself. I am high-functioning (what used to be referred as Asperger's), but I have a nephew and cousin who are low functioning, who live in facilities as they are not able to live on their own. Both of them originally went to the facilities because they were physically abusing their mothers. My sister-in-law (mother of my nephew) is also the principal at a K-12 autism school; they can't pay educators well because they have to have a lot of safety/security officers around. Yes, many ASD people act out in physical violence.
Thank you for the advice! She was a gerontology major and thought she wanted to work with seniors. However, the program has shown her what a wide array of options there are so she is looking into different populations as well.
Congratulations! The green robe may be a giveaway. Is āChemistry from Baylorā a cover story for āPotions from Hogwarts, Slytherin Houseā?Dad brag: My daughter just received her PhD in Chemistry from Baylor.
As a father of a 14yr old daughter, I need to see things like this. My daughter is a straight A honors student and a great hockey player, but otherwise wife and I have been tried by her in ways we never could have imagined. Every single issue that you have heard of regarding teenage girls, she's been there and done that. She's 10000x the effort and frustration that our boys are, combined. My wife keeps telling me that she'll (likely) be the first to provide us a grandkid so I need to be easy on her.
do you mind elaborating on the issues, lol. I have two girls and I come from a family of all boys, so every day is a new one!
there are assumptions regarding more head concussion type things with Kasak. But, has there been any confirmation outside of 2025 season? Even in freestyle there was thought of broken nose.
The gender identity stuff (first started at 7 when most of her friends decided that they were trans - very definition of a social contagion. We moved because of this. Not an issue now), secret cell phone (given to her by her birth father. I am not her birth father, but have 100% raised her since 14 months - he's an insane loser drug addict), social media addiction (on secret cell phone - she had for ~4 months before we caught her on Tick Tock at 3am), terrible friend group (all flunking out of school, addicted to social media, gender identity, etc.), lying, bringing clothes in her backpack to change at school (because we don't allow her to dress like a sloot), mental health nonsense, and then the regular teenage stuff like lying, talking back, thinking she knows it all, breaking every house rule, procrastination, apathy, laziness, etc.
She's very intelligent and super athletic (won multiple BJJ NAGA tournaments before she refused to grapple anymore and now is a very good street hockey player), but chooses to surround herself with the lowest common denominator and has almost no drive. Everything comes easy to her, therefore she works at nothing. We are concerned what happens when she's out of our home as she'd do absolutely nothing productive if we allowed her to. A lot probably has to do with her birth father, who has been in and out of her life (due to rehab, suicide attempts, just disappearing) since I came into the picture.
That's probably more information than I should share to strangers, but there you go.
Congrats.... what a family achievement! speaks volumes to the leadership in your home! BTW... good thing she looks like mom! LOL... God Bless her and future endeavorsDad brag: My daughter just received her PhD in Chemistry from Baylor.
All I can tell you is never give up, always have her back and it will work itself out. She will make your heart smile.
Thank you. The accomplishment is all hers, with my wife getting a lot of props also. I was the first person in my family to go to college, but to have my daughter reach this accomplishment is really special.
Wow....I commend you. I would really struggle being a parent of a kid coming of age in these crazy times. Mine are on their own with good jobs and stable home lives...both in their 30's. Life has really changed since Covid. Damn I'm getting old!
I am sorry about what is going on with your daughter. I dealt with a lot of this in my law enforcement career. May I be so bold as to offer a little advice? There are no easy answers, but especially with girls, knowing they are loved in spite of their actions is so important (this is especially important in her case because of her biological father's poor influence). Let her know that her poor behavior can't outlast your love for her while at the same time refusing to back down from enforcing proper discipline within the home. It often becomes a war of attrition. Where parents often falter is they get so tired of the fight they give in and let their child do what they want. Time is on your side, especially if you can not allow her actions to overwhelm you emotionally. Never forget the Prodigal Son. The Father's love didn't prevent the son from leaving and living like a fool, but that same love eventually drew the son back home. I will sincerely be praying for her!
