Rhule said in an interview they wanted him to play lighter this year. Getting in wrestling shape may have been partly dual purpose. I am sure they will want him to add some back, but not all of it. He will be quicker next season.I just saw the end of that match turned it on to see the hoops game, he looked a little slow and overmatched against the Iowa guy, but I don’t really follow wrestling much to know if that’s ok or not.
I am very surprised Rhule and staff are ok with the kid dropping so much weight to do this.
And in Nash’s defense, the Iowa wrestler would get absolutely steamrolled trying to stop the run in memorial stadium, so there’s that.
