NCAA PORTAL

It's not my obvious preferences that make me assume you prefer Alex to Dee. It's you writing and posting that you will take Alex over Dee in a match.

If only there were a way to figure out who was better.

I can't really come up with anything. Maybe DT knows a way.

Your obvious preferences make you assume I prefer Alex to Dee. What I prefer is for this team to win an NCAA team title. What I prefer is to have the best guy go. And if that means its not Dee then the coaches SHOULDNT cater to him by having him start anyway if he starts talking about leaving. A scenario which has been discussed previously on this forum (hopefully unnescessarily). And Dee beating Caliendo was huge but we saw THAT Dee fade as the season progressed. Based on NCAA placings his next best win was Ryder Downey who made the BR. Being pushed or getting a pitch count might be great for him. Let me be clear, Id love nothing more than Dee to clearly claim the spot and meet MM in the finals next year but I would equally love for Alex to do that or any Cowboy in the room. If we're to win another team title we need points and I give zero F's about whos name they call out in orange.

yeah. You're not paying attention.

Many on here have said they think a redshirt is what Dee needs. Help him develop, blah, blah, blah. But there are those of who think that would be the absolute WORST thing for him.

This has nothing to do with DT, who will let the roster battle happen. And maybe Dee does shirt if he loses to Facundo. But there is nothing going on in that room where Dee is getting any type of favorable treament.

Biggest difference was Dee faded and Facundo finished strong after a slow start. Facundo almost

I can't envision Dee transferring if he's asked to RS, especially since he probably gets his matches in anyways. I think it's more the outside influence that'll convince him otherwise.

Facundo finished strong? What do you mean?

That's not how I remember it. I remember Dee wrestling hard at NCAAs and Alex wrestling scared

Dee managed like he had the previous two months and got heartbroken. Facundo tightened up.

Love those guys and they are good teammates, but that performance puts them under scrutiny.

I was mostly joking in that last comment. And to be clear I don’t have any direct sources but several on this board do so I was just repeating what they said.

and it’s true he’s really not doing anything that other coaches don’t do but spending the whole weekend of NCAAs poaching and getting commitments from transfers only to have none of those transfers actually end up at ISU is objectively hilarious.

OK got it!

Yeah man, can't just talk a good game. Christian Carroll comes to mind. Didn't he follow Perry to ISU and then bail pretty quickly?

It's weird that he's not on staff but advocating for the program.

Compared to Dee? Yeah, he finished much better.
