Pat Downey

[pish69]

Just announced on twitter that he has been released and one of the teams he'd be interested in is Rutgers. Seems he wrestled with Lewis at Juco and has a good relationship with him.

The kid is an ennormous talent. Just wondering your thoughts if Goodale would take a flier on this kid with all the baggage he brings?

He'd be sure fire AA for Rutgers next year at 184 or 197

No

 

[pish69]

No

I know you're close to the program..is that insider knowledge or just your opinion?

Kid makes it tough on himself with the way he acts, will be interesting to see who will give him a shot.

No inside info, but when he was looking to transfer from Junior College to D1 I was told by coaches that they had no interest in him. Not because of his talent but obviously because of his past. I can only assume that still holds true (even more so now).

In order for Downey to be able to transfer with out having to sit out a year is he has to graduate from ISU. If you believe what he said he has 19 credits to graduate. I personally don't see it happening. I will be shocked to see him wrestle D1 again.

Maybe we can get a package deal with Andrew Long.

Downey would have to sit a yr,has already shirted, after the sit year his D1 clock has run out.

Without putting down anyone too much I will say I have heard Lewis is a handful and Downey is worse. Don't think the coaches want another headache regardless of talent.

If he graduates he doesn't have to sit the year.

No he doesn't. If he graduates over summer he can wrestle at any D1 school other than a team on ISU schedule.

Could slide right into Rider's lineup. $$$$

Would he have to graduate from ISU?

 

[Abro1975]

He seems like the scholarly type.

 

[obrats]

Yes I believe so.

Sounds like a good decision
