Aren't DSJ and Boaz Beard hurt?

 

[WildTurkey]

DSJ will not wrestle in Evanston from what i understand. I keep hearing about a January return for him. Not sure about the Bearded one

 

[Hawks1010]

To my knowledge Boaz was not injured he was out due to Jackson wanting him to stay fresh for a second half run is what I heard. The reason behind this was he was out of competition all of last and Jackson doesnt want him to tire over the grind of the season. Cough BS cough cough.

 

[ICAlumni]

Jackson is always full of excuses - too young, too injured, not enough time to gel, etc.... Just shut up and wrestle.

 

[DrZiodberg]

Its gonna be a great tournament hopefully everyone is well and we dominate.

A friend said Precin might wrestle can anyone confirm this? I know he was competing recently or a few months ago.

[WildTurkey]

Precin is not listed. Its at Northwestern so that would not surprise me.

Any word on if/where Gambrall is wrestling at Midlands I assume the pre-seed at 197 is a product of him not being down to 184 yet.

 

[AFHawk86]

Gambrall is definitely wrestling at 197. I don't know if he has plans to cut to 184 this year. Maybe Midlands will change his mind...or maybe he'll surprise everyone and solidify his status at 197.

 

[WildTurkey]

I feel sorry for Grant if he has to wrestle Honeycutt. That guy looks like a monster!. Huge size difference.

Not really relavent but has anybody else seen the size of Oregon States Hvy wt Clayton Jack? Wow. Big neanderthal looking man..
