Says ok state will likely send Figs out at 133 next Sunday vs AS Forrest will wrestle an open to get his match count. Not calling it a duck but…

If he's going for the post season, he needs the match count
Odd that he didn't go for their last dual if that's the case though.

Agree about getting count up for his rpi
Mineo didn’t mention which open he’d attend though and I do know there is at least one open option after our dual and possibly others but may be wrong there. DT doesn’t strike me as a ducking kinda coach but the timing seems odd but maybe legit

Apologies - so does this mean Forrest will redshirt?

I would think he goes
Ramirez and Forrest are both better options than Figs, and it doesn't make sense to redshirt them both. From the post above, it seems like their trying to get Forest matches and preserve Ramirez's redshirt.

No it's the opposite
Forrest only has like 7 matches and he needs 15 to meet the criteria for RPI rankings which is important for seeding at nationals. He'd get sent to an open tournament to get 3-4 matches in a day instead of 1.

I do not interpret emhokie's post that way.
