With the new 5 in 5 rule it makes no sense to redshirt Ross correct? So it will just be a battle for the spot?

I mentioned this not long after NCAAs that they were gonna put in for a medical for Doucet and I expected him to get one . Until this was released I hadn't heard he got another year so don't be surprised if this is a mistake 🤷

I would think that Konner plans to wrestle. This will be a tough ranking match and the starter may change during the season. Freshmen heavyweights generally are not champs.

Time will tell! Obviously, if he wants to go win a NC and do what it takes to do that, LETS GO!

There will be no ranking match. Doucet will only go if Ross needs rest/is hurt. You can thank John for his hate of competition. LOL

Why would Doucet need to be on the roster to be a training partner? He can do that and not be on the roster.

College practices (folk style) and RTC practices (freestyle) are technically different things, and you have to be on the roster and enrolled in college to participate in the college practices.

I mean ... there are no rules anymore but they could just make him a volunteer coach or director of fun. I don't think you put KD on the roster unless he plans to compete for the job.

In case Ross gets hurt?

Sure ... but that would mean he is on the roster and ready to compete. That is kind of my point. I don't buy he is just there to be a training partner. I don't know if he can beat Ross but I don't think you put him on the roster (and then have the school tweet he is back) if he is just around to give Ross a practice buddy.

He's there and very committed to being a partner. If something happens, Doucet can pop in.

DT has done a very good job of developing a culture where guys just want to stay. They're enjoying being on the team regardless of their place on the depth chart. Doucet is very content helping Ross win a title.

Maybe you are right. Just seems weird the school is making a big deal about KD being back if there is no real intention of him competing for the spot.

Yeah I don't buy this for a second. If KD is beating Ross he will be the starter. He is there to compete. You think Coach Taylor is going to be like "Oh we have a guy eligible who is better than the other guy but we're not gonna wrestle him?!?" :rolleyes:

My thought is that all wrestlers for a team must be on a certified list to wrestle for that team. KD will now be submitted as a heavy for the team and if anything happens to Ross, KD fills the hole.
Now, if KD is getting the best of Ross, he will get the nod as the starter just like any position battle.

Whoever wins the wrestle-off will wrestle. Doucet is really good. Ross has the potential to be really good; he just has to get out there and be what we all think he will be. If he is the starter, he has to beat a returning 4th place AA in Doucet.

There are sometimes better ways to determine the best wrestler than a simple wrestle off. I don't think we yet know which method(s) DT is/will use.
