Yes. As you said he can’t beat the .0001%. If Dake, Burroughs, Nolf were not at the weight, he’d be wrestling. Thats the whole point of favored. He’s the underdog and knows he’d have a huge uphill battle to make the team even at 100%. But if he didn’t have such an uphill battle he’d be out there.No because you used the word favored. I said he’s competing against the best in the world there are only negative consequences that can happen at the level he’s competing with the slimmest of margins. Your phase was that he’s not the favorite so he’s not even going to try. Your solution to the problem is I’m not trying because I’m not favored
He’s walking around in a boot you have zero idea what he’s capable of right now you are blowing smoke making a stupid argumentYes. As you said he can’t beat the .0001%.

neither do you. If he’s not getting surgery, then I stand by my point. You can get a boot anywhere and use it for minor injuries.He’s walking around in a boot you have zero idea what he’s capable of right now you are blowing smoke making a stupid argument
Do you think if this were the ncaas he would be competing right now?neither do you. If he’s not getting surgery, then I stand by my point. You can get a boot anywhere and use it for minor injuries.
Yes, 100%Do you think if this were the ncaas he would be competing right now?
I wouldn’t waste my time. They’re not coming here as unfortunate as that is. ISU is just not going to win the recruiting battles for guys like this. We have absolutely no tie ins with them, and all the top teams want them.Can Forrest and Basset take college visits this year? Man I really really want one of those two.
Then you aren’t making sense and you are just calling David a ***** in other words. He was an underdog to 3 opponents at NCAAs. It was an uphill battle to win it all in a big grueling tournament. So it has nothing to do with him being an underdog this weekend you just think he’s scared by what you’re saying. It’s no different than this tournament. Freestyle things can happen quickly and he could’ve spent less time on the mat than at ncaas. So to say he’d wrestle there and not here you are saying he’s ducking and I’m saying he’s too injured to wrestle.Yes, 100%
David was a toss up 50/50 at NCAAs. His chances at OTT would be like Hamiti’s chances of winning NCAA this year. Totally different.Then you aren’t making sense and you are just calling David a ***** in other words. He was an underdog to 3 opponents at NCAAs.

How bad is the injury?David loves to compete. Neither of you know under what circumstances he would compete unless you ask him, so quit arguing about it
You're really being a jack ass.How bad is the injury?
I don’t know. So why would I speculate on when or under what circumstances he would or wouldn’t wrestleHow bad is the injury?
no one asked you to speculate about anything.I don’t know. So why would I speculate on when or under what circumstances he would or wouldn’t wrestle
David DNP at U23s and was teched easily by Nolf last year. I love DC as much of the next guy, but he didn’t have a shot in hell at making this team.
Junior world champs are a dime a dozen. You’re talking about multiple time Senior world champs with Dake and Burroughs. Different levels
Bad enough that he couldn’t wrestle this weekend. I can guarantee the decision to not compete had nothing to do with anyone else in the bracket. Let’s get back discussing the trials.How bad is the injury?
I did not mean to derail the thread. Unless anyone has specific information about David’s injury, it is irrational to think that the quality of competition isn’t a factor in the decision. Has nothing to do with being scared, or a wuss, just solid decision making.Bad enough that he couldn’t wrestle this weekend.
