That is true, he told them that he couldn't promise anything ng because I. the moment of coaching a curse word may fin its way onto the practice field. They said if that happened he would be removed. Soooo he did them and himself a favor and told them thanks but no thanks.
Unbelievable!
I’m not saying it in general; I’ve just seen it from past seasons, saying that Tennessee kids always disappoint at NCAAs, and all I was claiming is that it’s not an easy tournament in any division. I don't really care what people think because they don't know everything about me, and if you're an athlete and you do care about those things, you need to fix that lol.
You might be surprised but some on this board did wrestle DI. I don't believe anyone said they were disappointed in you. You are one of the few that actually made it. You should be proud that you made it. It was mentioned that everyone here knew you had DI potential. There are people who realize how tough it is just to start and to qualify. I believe ocean made it clear that it takes a special person to do what you just did.
With all of that said, I don't think it changes the points that have been made. The vast majority of wrestlers in the United States should not wrestle D1. This includes TN. Many, but not all, would be better served by wrestling at a lower level. Those opinions are not based on you or what you did at UTC. Those opinions are based on looking at stats from the last 60 years of college wrestling. The DI attrition rate is very noticeable. The crux of the argument has been based around TN's attrition rate and how it relates to the progress the state has made. That leads to questions and discussion about what is best for most wrestlers. I do not see where anyone claimed they were disappointed in Brayden Palmer. I don't believe anyone here acted like it was easy; in fact, we have stated that the rigor has been unbearable for most.
