Cael is optimistic that we will see RBY and Shak on Friday.

Was he optimistic that we would see them wrestling?

In the CDT article Cael says if RBY can't go we could forfeit. Why would we do that? I can understand why we wouldn't send a true freshman or RS freshman against Micic, but there are other wrestlers who have been in the room for a couple of years (Higgins, Stossel, Lindenmuth). I wouldn't expect them to win but they may save a team point or two if they aren't pinned. So why would we forfeit a match at the BJC before the largest home crowd of the season? Isn't it next man up?

Is Dom Giannangeli still with the team? Is he still a 133 guy?

Yep, there is a thread on just this topic. Some positive & negative reactions.

He is but is listed on the roster at 141. I do think he has wrestled at 133 in the past.

Scott Stossel wrestled the Keystone Classic at 133. If RBY can't go, I really hope they give the senior a chance to wrestle in BJC rather than forfeiting.

I think the reporter is clueless. Cael says they want RBY to get a feel for Micic but "we're not going to throw somebody out there who is not ready to go." He's talking about RBY. There is no "intimation" that they would forfeit if RBY is out.

You could be right, but that is not how the article reads. The forfeit comment and 'not putting someone out there if they are not ready to go' are made after the statement-if RBY can't go. Not trying to be argumentative just trying to understand why we would forfeit at any weight when you are at home and have your full contingent of wrestlers available. The forfeit at Indiana made sense as we had no backup at 133 once RBY got hurt.

You're wondering why would do something that we haven't done yet and Cael didn't say anything about forfeiting, just that RBY wouldn't go if he wasn't ready. I disagree, you are definitely trying to be argumentative.

We wouldn't. It's not any more complicated than that. The CDT reporter is wrong.

I'll argue with that.

Cael is optimistic that we will see RBY and Shak on Friday.

Personally, I thought it was pretty funny that the Collegian article suggested that the word "optimistic" was materially more definitive as regards to Rasheed.

 

[Dogwelder]

Yeah, but let’s say Cael gets dealt a 10 and a 7 at the blackjack table in Vegas, and then he says “hit” to the dealer. Why would he do that? It don’t make sense.

 

[seeyajohn]

I sent the reporter an email suggesting that he be more careful in his reporting as he was upsetting some of us.

Yeah, so much hand wringing I don't have any more dermal ridges on my palms...

You and lionlover both.

Right? It doesn't make any sense because Mormons don't gamble.

Wait....what?? I’m supposed to have dermal ridges??

 

[El-Jefe]

Guess that depends on what your hand is wringing.

I’m just glad that y’all took my improv cues. Bravo.

People probably were reluctant to disappoint a guy with ridgeless, hairy palms.
