Discuss Wisconsin Collegiate Wrestling - All Divisions / Re: Challenger to Cael/PSU/NLW...

Quote from: charteroak1 on May 13, 2024, 10:07:15 AMI think David was the best thing to do for the program as a whole. While I feel for Scott, the program is always bigger than an individual. This is also what college wrestling needs as the rivalries with Penn St. and Iowa are going to be quite intense. I'm interested to see if there are going to be any commitment changes and how the portal shakes out. I would imagine DJ redshirts this year and wins a Natty in '26

A little birdie told me that we shouldn't feel bad for Coleman Scott. Sometimes you dig your own hole. He was the air apparent, until he wasn't.

Pivoting to DT is a much bigger move than Coleman Scott. Coleman Scott isn't relevant with kids who are graduating now.

Who else is on this plain and at the same age? THIS is the future of NCAA wrestling, for better or for worse.

Dake
Maybe Spencer Lee, but his career internationally isn't on par at the senior level
Burroughs

I'm sure there are a few more that fit the bill, but not quite on the GOAT list.

Why would DJ redshirt? There's no easy route for him. If he waits until '26 he'd probably have to move up to 174. If he competes in '25 at 165, and wins, it would not look good for Bono. If he waits until '26 and stays at 165 he'd have to get through Messenbrink.

Should a coach "put pressure on a wrestler" to do any of this? I am not saying they should or should not but other sports should not be the reason one way or another.
What I am asking is "putting pressure on a wrestler" ok just because they are not out for another sport?

All good points. It's simple, if a HS coach wants to put more time in that is great. There shouldn't be limits on what a HS coach does to help his athletes get better. If you're a coach that doesn't want to put more time in, so be it.

If the coach is putting pressure on the athletes to divert them from other sports, then that needs to be addressed because that is unacceptable.

Problem solved.
