Taylor vs Dake: up in the air

[kr1963]

I had 3 different reliable sources confirm tonight that DT suffered an apparently painful yet minor injury today at practice. No word on whether it will affect his status for the All Star yet but that is under consideration by the staff.

If he backs out now he will lose a lot of respect. If it doesn't require surgery, thoughts of him ducking Dake will enter 90% of the fans minds. Including mine.

I'm a fan an if he's got an injury I don't think it would bother me if he didn't wrestle. I'd want them both 100% ideally.

Dakes going 65 so theyll hit at the scuffle and ncaas. This isnt backing down from Dake if he doesnt wrestle.

Because the only injuries that are real require surgery...seriously?

It sucks I agree but to suggest an NCAA champion would duck someone would be assinine. I don't want him to wrestle if he is injured b/c then there could be a crutch to lean on if there is a loss. I say have Dake bump up to wrestle someone like I don't know Ruth hehehaha and let Taylor rest so we see best vs best at Scuffle

If he aggravates it or hurts it bad enough to cost him the season then what? NO.

the idea that a guy with quals of DT would 'back-out' of an exibition match is ridiculous. If he says he has an injury, he has an injury. The NCAA All-star meet is supposed to be for entertainment. If Dake stays at 165, they'll meet when something is on the line.
