Lets Break it down

So why do we have so many injuries?

Honestly, that's probably the biggest question right now. Meant to mention it in the previous post. Really does seem like a ridiculous amount of injuries, like it's more than just bad luck.
 
Concussions are bad luck. Simonson knee is nobodys fault and is Gadsen's shoulder issues. Not sure on Weatherman's neck, could be effect of the neck wrench from Chase Nelson match last year. So many are bad luck.

Concussions include Cash, Moreno, Mayfield, and Ta Weatherman that I know of.
Knee of Simonson
Neck of Weatherman
Trevor Voelker, Jerome Ward - I'm not sure of.
Boaz Beard - deep thigh bruise
Mike Moreno - concussion, ankle , shoulder

Queso why would Terry Brands want to clean up KJ's mess? Don't you think he got tired of doing that at the OTC?


KJ said at his first press conference that he would get the guys he needed so there wouldn't be a gap year. Well congrats KJ we are on gap year number 2.


KJ also said Cael left a gold mine at Iowa State and KJ lead us to 3rd.
How come KJ never took any fault in making Nick Gallick wrestle vs Iowa when he wasn't clear to wrestle which resulted in him being reinjured. Or how Nick Fanthorpe and Mitch Mueller didn't get any better during their senior years? When is KJ going to address the lack of toughness in his guys? I am really impressed with the techniques and tactics KJ has taught to his guys when it comes to mat wrestling.


For the people who blame this season on starting all the freshman take a look at Ohio State. They are currently starting 5 true freshman and 2 red-shirt freshman and they are undefeated in duals with a 36-3 win over power house Old Dominion and won the Cliff Keen Invitational.

We wouldn't be starting freshman at 133 and 141 if KJ hadn't gotten rid of Tyler Clark, Dalton Jensen, and Anthony Valles. Why would Tyler Clark want to stay when KJ gives the starting job to Andrew Long after watching them workout once. Would you blame a kid like Dalton Jensen for leaving after KJ cut his scholarship money only to benfit KJ. Dalton might not have been a world beater but he was a kid who bust his but and did everything asked, but KJ didn't believe in him.

I imagine Cozart and Goetti will be the next one's who get there scholarship money slashed without any say in it. It doesn't matter no more Brandon Florida kids will give Iowa State a look anyway with KJ ruining the program.


We all know KJ can recruit with the best of them since he recruited Steve Mocco and Bill Zadick to the OTC and could barely offer them anything. I wonder why Mocco followed Terry Brands after the Olympics for a couple of years instead of continuing his training with KJ and why Bill Zadick didn't want to coach with KJ and Yero. KJ's name carries no weight in states like Ohio or Pennsylvania and we were never in the running for Taylor Massa unlike people around hear like to think.

I mean who wouldn't want to wrestle for KJ. Look at his opening press confence he said he was a better coach than Sanderson because he was older and a little heavier than him. Okay coach sign me up I will run through a wall for you after answers like that.


My christmas present to KJ will be a Iowa State wrestling media guide so he can learn his wrestlers names and not refer to Shayden as Hawaiian kid. If he learns their names maybe that will fill in some of the ums.
If KJ ran Dalton off that was a big time mistake. I'm sure he realizes that was a bad move at this point. Is Coazrt worth full scolly money? I'm in the KJ deserves at least another two years camp....
 
It looks to me and I will freely admit that I am NO wrestling expert as I never wrestled but My Son did Wrestle in High School....


As I say it looks to me that our wrestling program right now this year resembles a toothache that just keeps right on a hurtin'.....


Til you pull the darned thing.....
