I am not 100% convinced that Bubba will be redshirting for the entire year. Cael the liar said, "There is a good chance that Bubba Jenkins will be red-shirting as well."
Is Crowell the only one that is ineligible or are other kids too? His ineligibility, is that because of the transfer?
CS: Yes that was a transfer rule. He got here last second semester and the make you sit a year at the institution before you're eligible to go. He is the only one, with Bubba as the other exception. If Bubba passes his courses this semester and does well he would be eligible second semester as well.
Would you rather have Quentin and Jenkins in there?
CS: Well obviously our team would be stronger this year if we wrestled all of our best wrestlers but Quentin will be better off. It will be better for him and it will help our team down the road. The teams that we're going to have down the road, we think that they're going to be really special and that's what we want to hold Quentin for. Even Bubba, the National Tournament next year is in Philadelphia. Now we're not looking ahead to next year. We've got goals and we want to do some damage this year. I think we'll get a lot more out of Quentin after a red-shirt year. There's no question he'd be in the hunt this year but I think with a red-shirt year he could step in and be a real dominant force at whatever weight he's at, 184 or 197. He's not at 174 anymore. Bubba, I think we'll get more out of him next year. He's wanted to red shirt for a few years now, just with some minor injuries and some things, he's just a little banged up. A year will probably help him out quite a bit, but he's doing a nice job of course.
Is there any chance of Molinaro going back down to 141?
CS: Yes, there is a chance. It just depends on how things are going. He just really wants to test the waters and he's a big kid. He gets really heavy in the off-season. He really likes to get in there and lift and get strong and that's and important part of his mentality and his game plan. I think he'll do well at 149. There's always that opportunity because he did certify at 141.
Then Frank Molinaro adds:
Q: I guess you'll be moving up to 149 if Bubba [Jenkins] decides to redshirt then?
A: I guess we really don't know what's going on with that right now, but as of right now, Bubba isn't eligible the first semester anyway, so I'm going to start the year off at 149.
I think that you are picking on my team to make yourself feel better about yours. Just don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain. :lol:
