IGotAPlan 51 Report post Posted September 28, 2021 The 2021 NCAA tournament is about as bad as you can expect Spencer to look since it was a fresh tear. With rehab, he should be better. I know he looked great in 2019-2020 with one ACL after rehab but curious how he'll look without any after rehab, feel it's just a different animal but if anyone can adjust to it, it's Spencer. Obviously he'll still be dominant considering he just basically bonused his way through another tournament. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killian Cardinale didn't just go the distance, he scored 2 takedowns on Lee! Also, keep in mind that, in the quarters vs Schroeder it was something like 3-2 going to the 3rd period. I don't think it's a slight to say that Lee's performance that weekend was a low point. For him. Because that's the standard he has set 1 bnwtwg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDan 1,082 Report post Posted September 28, 2021 Is it the case that he has had no surgeries on any of his ACL tears? I am not advocating it, but if he were to get surgery on both knees, how long would he be out of action? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a bad tournament for him. Don't forget how close the Schroeder match was, Spencer himself admitted it, he felt he could lose that during the third until he got the reversal and 4NF. He couldn't sprawl or drop to a knee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't it? No ACL's, couldn't sprawl or drop to a knee. We all saw him almost get snapped through the mat and his closest win was by seven. 1 wamba reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you can "put" them in your back pocket but you can't "save" them there, otherwise I'd have 3 pockets full of ACLs I could sell to Spencer. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet they get dry and sharp over time, but I'm speculating. 1 Yellow_Medal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jammen 339 Report post Posted September 29, 2021 Well, I'm glad to hear that going forward Spencer will no longer have any excuses in his back pocket. I remember Nick Heflin's 2014 interview about his injuries. "At this stage of the tournament everyone is banged up with something. there's no need to talk about them." 1 Yellow_Medal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious: How many national titles had Heflin won at that point, and which of those title wins was the most underwhelming? Thanks! P.S. Are we talking about the Nick Heflin who lost to Pat Downey and has basically been out of competition with injuries since 2019?

jammen 339 Report post Posted September 30, 2021 I don't dislike Spencer Lee, just trying to make sense of all the contradictory drama surrounding him. HR concludes that he will be on a pitch count this year and will see very limited action. Surgery is not an option and only time will tell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jammen 339 Report post Posted October 1, 2021 Nick Heflin lost in the 2014 NCAA finals 2-1 to Cox. After a tough semi win over Schiller Heflin was asked about the injuries that he was dealing with. His admirable response was that at this stage of tournament everyone was dealing with injuries so there was no need to talk about them. Yanni took that advice wrestling 3 matches with a torn ACL when he won the 2018 title. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestling like you don't actually have that injury is ignorant...If someone asks, what is the issue with answering. In damn near every other sport, injuries are common knowledge. In a sport like wrestling, where an injury/illness can seriously effect performance, honesty is way different than giving an excuse! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
