Nico just posted to his Instagram that he has retorn his ACL and will not be going at the trials. I feel terrible for him.

Ugh. That stinks. I just listened to his October interview with Justin Basch last week. He seemed to be in a good place, but i’m sure this stings.
Here’s the post

Classy post by Nico. You have to love it when you listen someone who has his priorities in place and is at peace with himself. Good luck to this fine young man!
As disappointed as this setback is, Nico's post indicates he knows wrestling is simply something he does & is not who he is. Great perspective. I personally am bummed not to get to see him compete but whatever is next for him, I am sure he will succeed.
I get some dust in my eyes at the end of this match ...
I forgot how hard Johnson was advocating for stall calls against Nico. He was really squawking about it early. Gilman with the good handshake after the match.
Nico IMO was the definition of Mr March vs expectations. He always showed up at NCAAs, he placed higher at B1Gs just ONE time (his junior year) He placed 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd at B1Gs and 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 1st at NCAAs. Definition of clutch.
Prayers for a complete and speedy recovery Nico!

Stud. I’m dying for us to land the next guy who could set the tone of a dual like he could.
Apart from the final, my favorite Nico moment was that clutch win against Sanders.
Remember watching Nico quickly tech a young Darian Cruz at Lehigh, and was astonished at his motor. He was a joy to watch.
Many of us do. Yes sir, many of us do. Everytime.
My second favorite was the match right after Sanders when in OT Nico broke Perrilli.
When in the 3rd period Johnson was claiming Gilman had initiated 5 or 6 straight attacks, Gilman had in reality not initiated any real attacks. Not a single shot through Nico's hands to his legs. 5 or 6 pull on the head, drop to a knee and wave at a leg wrestling for a stall call.
For me, the BIG OT semifinal win over perpetual villain Thomas Gilman in Iowa City is tough to beat.
When the joke is no longer getting LIKES it’s time to let it go.
RIP “ Nico in room” joke ???
Please. It’s been flogged, whipped, mummified. Just waaay overdue. No mas
