I think the issue this year was he was injured

And didn’t recover as quickly as expected. Not sure it was due to lack of effort

Does at large spots get announced today?**
texashokie1 • 03/11/25 02:25 PM ET
Only 165, 185, 197 weights where ACC did not get an extra allocation
HokieRat • 03/11/25 04:45 PM ET
No TJ**
TartanHokie • 03/11/25 03:24 PM ET
Bummer. Come back stronger next year, TJ.**
dallasvt • 03/11/25 04:55 PM ET
Didn't earn it on the mat this year
AirborneHokie96 • 03/11/25 04:07 PM ET
Yeah... :o( hope he can bounce back next year...**
TomA • 03/11/25 04:02 PM ET
I love TJ and the potential there but can't argue with this decision really
vthokiebrotha • 03/11/25 03:45 PM ET
Hope he is
ForgeHokie • 03/11/25 04:30 PM ET
I would agree
AirborneHokie96 • 03/11/25 10:05 PM ET
You can't lose to unranked starters and backups. **
AirborneHokie96 • 03/11/25 04:09 PM ET
Such a bummer
Hikinghokie • 03/11/25 03:44 PM ET
Here’s the at large list**
TheStateGuy • 03/11/25 03:10 PM ET
Stanford gets *four* at large bids. Doesn't feel like that happens much.
nvpbrown • 03/11/25 08:17 PM ET
No go for TJ ....
hokietony • 03/11/25 03:26 PM ET
Hope TJ can get healthy and take time off to recharge. The season's a grind
VTDante • 03/11/25 04:45 PM ET
I'm curious how much weighting they give to earning an AQ bid.
Hokiemacho • 03/11/25 03:35 PM ET
TJ just needs to take every match seriously...he looked like he was sleep
VPIGUY • 03/11/25 04:09 PM ET
It's always about being ready in March and it's hard to do that when you're
donjfs3 • 03/11/25 05:24 PM ET
I dont think anything VPI said was unreasonable.**
Hokie Flyer • 03/11/25 06:12 PM ET
If your injured it is hard to work out
texashokie1 • 03/11/25 07:28 PM ET
That would be poor coaching to send out an injured guy at 184
AirborneHokie96 • 03/11/25 10:03 PM ET
If the injured guy wants to go and wins in wrestle offs then it’s his spot.**
GreenvilleVT • 03/12/25 07:45 AM ET
Then you can't use injury as an excuse
AirborneHokie96 • 03/12/25 12:00 PM ET
I don’t recall TJ or the coaches
GreenvilleVT • 03/12/25 01:30 PM ET
Quick search**
AirborneHokie96 • 03/12/25 01:44 PM ET
That’s his dad. And I appreciate his perspective and feedback. I think
GreenvilleVT • 03/12/25 03:39 PM ET
Just his dad and fans**
AirborneHokie96 • 03/18/25 08:47 AM ET
Worked for Caleb, Cael's going to try it with Barr, Pop with Trumble, etc.
donjfs3 • 03/11/25 10:29 PM ET
In 2024-2025, TJ and Sam will score the same amount of points
AirborneHokie96 • 03/11/25 11:33 PM ET
It didn't work, the upside was worth the risk, and it's a common practice
donjfs3 • 03/12/25 12:25 AM ET
Sam would have had better wins in his belt...better than the #60th ranked
AirborneHokie96 • 03/12/25 11:59 AM ET
Agree... I think several want to enable or remain obtuse.**
Palmetto Hokie • 03/12/25 07:14 PM ET
Sure, something went wrong. Nobody disagrees with that statement.
samistone • 03/12/25 04:00 PM ET
Speaking of "dick move", try not to swallow and wipe your chin
AirborneHokie96 • 03/12/25 11:16 PM ET
Sam had 17 matches and his resume would not have gotten him in
donjfs3 • 03/12/25 03:54 PM ET
Should say wasn’t due to lack of……**
texashokie1 • 03/11/25 07:30 PM ET
I think it left out very important context**
donjfs3 • 03/11/25 07:22 PM ET
Bingo**
Palmetto Hokie • 03/11/25 05:02 PM ET
Unless you have detailed inside knowledge
samistone • 03/11/25 04:26 PM ET
I have heard some things, but nothing I am going to share in a public forum
VPIGUY • 03/12/25 11:35 AM ET
Ignore him. He is too busy swallowing**
AirborneHokie96 • 03/12/25 11:20 PM ET
I think the issue this year was he was injured ◄
texashokie1 • 03/11/25 04:23 PM ET
I concur! He came into the season injured, and it really set his...
EDGEMAN • 03/11/25 06:01 PM ET
...and maybe focus less on how marketable you can be here or somewhere else
AirborneHokie96 • 03/11/25 04:20 PM ET
Supposedly at 3:45ish.**
TartanHokie • 03/11/25 02:34 PM ET
Thanks
