ADS is quite a black mark on the program. Of course Iowa will keep him! They don't cut ties with thugs that easily.
Don't know, but he clearly has behavioral problems. Year after year he does something aberrant.
Pat Mineo tweeted that he told a media woman that he would kill her if she told him what to do.
I know you probably hate anything in black and gold, but as an uncle of a kid on the autism spectrum, there's context that needs to be looked at. Looking at ADS this year vs. last year, it's been a noticeable improvement in terms of his ability to control his emotions out there. Call it a "black mark" all you want, but he's a good kid who's dealing with mental issues that are very tough by themselves not to mention with the added stress of COVID and you calling him a thug because of that is pretty gross.
I know, I was in that as a profession for many years. Dealt with many of the most severe in Iowa, several that couldn’t function over a 3-5th grade level. There is a point where you can’t just say don’t do that for people his age and ability (getting a college degree). It is not acceptable in society.
Yeah he had just come off the mat and made a stupid, aggressive and inappropriate comment off the cuff to an NCAA photog. Not at all acceptable. Of course Pat Mineo is on top of is, he's so butthurt about Iowa winning.
Depends who Iowa has coming back. They lost a lot of points from Bull getting hurt and not finishing out the tournament. The Kemerer match also could go either way next year. I would say Iowa is still the favorite with Lee, Eierman, Bull, Kemerer, Warner, and Cass as finalist potential.
Gonz, noticeable improvement? He lost a team point and did something that got him kicked out of the team celebration THIS TOURNEY! They just wrestled less matches this year.
Son and I were talking, if Griffith did graduate from Stanford, what is the probability that he is at penn state?
Last season at the end of big matches he'd have trouble controlling himself and get in the other guy's face. This season at the end of matches he congratulated the other wrestler and the ref, every time. I watched every match the kid wrestled this year. Did you?
I know you love everything black and gold but quit making excuses for this dude. he is capable of making better choices at this age. His choices are pretty gross. But keep blaming others.
My son has autism too. I understand the emotional side of things and trying to control it. My son handles stress far better than ADS and is much younger. Perhaps wrestling is not appropriate for him is he can't work on his control. It is a struggle for sure.
Certainly not. But if threatening a woman just trying to do her job is an improvement than collegiate sports isn’t the place for him.
He couldn't even be in the team picture because he told a female he was going to kill her. Geez Gonzo be better than this
