Next Years Lineup

[Corby2]

What are you hearing ? I thought he was a good size 149? Did he finally fill out?

Excited to see Block turn heads at 157 if he does ascend up! I rather see him at 149 though…

I haven't heard anything. Block going up wouldn't shock me and neither would him being back at 149. I won't be saying anything

I don’t believe your placement predictions are accurate.

That's fair. I will be absolutely ecstatic if they break 100. 80-90 range is much more likely.

8th grade is actually the grade most kids repeat. Bassett I believe did 8th twice and I think Schwab boys as well. So if it's kindergarten it's ok why? Are you fairly certain his grades were good in 8th grade? My guess is you've no clue and you look for any reason you can to say bad things about Ben

This calls for a comment. I retired after 753 years in education, and firmly disagree with the comment "8th grade is actually the grade most kids repeat." This does NOT happen; academic based retention IS a K-2 situation to get kids on the right track. By 8th grade, retentions do not happen due to social (labling) concerns.
A set of parents would have to be seriously pushy to "redshirt" their kid for nonacademic reasons. (Granted, I would have been tempted to if my kid had been an 89# 9th grader trying to wrestle 103 back in the day.)
Whether or not Kueter repeated 8th grade or not, there is NO reason to think he was ever academically challenged.

Thank you.

or should I say...class dismissed, Corby.

Levi Haines and Bo Basset were on a Cadet world
team together. Guess Levi is just super smart.

Thanks.
I finally made it to Iowa IPERS' "Rule of 1000" (maximum pension).

I believe he was referring to 8th grade being the most repeated grade for kids " redshirting" , which is accurate. In some states, you dont have to repeat 8th grade, you can take a gap year between 8th and 9th grade and not go to school at all.

I can honestly say I never heard of a gap year between 8th & 9th.
Do any states bordering Iowa have that policy?

If you start at the 49:30 mark, they discuss Jordan's recent IG story. Apparently he's going (or trying to go) 149 next season. I'm happy with that provided Ryder is content at 157. Ryder gassed a few times last year and I can't help but think weight cutting was a factor.

That said, check out Jordan's Pan-Ams run. Impressive work and certainly inspires some much needed confidence.
