NPSmith Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 As of 2/4, it looks like he was ranked #1 at 141 on Intermat NJCAA rankings at North Idaho. I do not see him in the top 8 today so maybe someone else can update from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see him in the top 8 today so maybe someone else can update from there. The Cardinals have had numerous season ending injuries throughout the year and the roster was shortened further with the loss of Deondre Wilson at 141 pounds. Wilson is serving a mandatory suspension by the NJCAA for a flagrant ejection from an earlier season match is in ineligible for the District tournament.

HighCrotchNinja Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I don't know if true or not but apparently he pushed a ref during a match and was DQ for the match, suspended the rest of the year from wrestling, and expelled from school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe that is true. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2016/feb/16/nic-wrestler-deondre-wilson-coach-pat-whitcomb-sus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Hull Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) For those that care, Deondre is back home training hard for Juniors and University Nationals. He has a dozen or so offers from several interested schools and right now we are just focused on getting him better as he should be out of here before the summer. He was ranked first and he did have an incident a couple weeks before Regionals with an opposing wrestler, but he was awarded the win. He sat the next match due to internal discipline for that incident, and wrestled the last match of the season. However, unknowingly to NIC, the opposing school went back several days later and changed the results from him winning 10-3 to him being DQd - ultimately resulting in him and his coach missing the Regionals getting EXTRA screwed. They were basically looking to get him out of the mix because he was the clear cut favorite, he was an easy target and the opportunity presented itself. NIC protested to the national association, lost, and that was that. His freshman year he went in ranked 8th, smashed through his competition, beating almost a dozen tough D1 opponents along the way and worked his way up to ranking 3rd in NJCAA. However, he suffered a knee injury at Vegas early in the year during his win against Jade Rauser, continued to wrestle throughout the season on it, but eventually had to have surgery which ended his season before Regionals his freshman year. He was ranked 3rd when he ended that season. I'd like to believe he would have won that title as well but that's how it goes. Clearly I'm biased but his spirits are up, he's dialed in, and has even more to prove to himself and the world both on and off the mat. It was disappointing on several fronts but there is a lesson to be learned: just win the match and walk away, regardless of how much crap the fans, opponents or whoever throws at you. Strategies and tactics become very important when wrestling a dominant wrestler, and if there is a weakness, like a relatively short fuse, then it will be exploited. He's dealt with it plenty as many know, and I 've seen him pass 98% of the time. But that 1-2% will cost you so you have to keep things in perspective. Although it was the catalyst to the extra screwing he got, he understands it starts with him - unfortunately at the price of a potential national championship. One of the things that makes him so tough on the mat is his attitude of fighting for everything, and that is also one of his biggest weaknesses. Lol. He is a very passionate wrestler, wrestling with his heart more than his head sometimes. It isn't his fault it's in him really but that is the beauty of our sport: it teaches us so much about life, adversity, success and failure, how to keep striving to get better, etc. Wishing him and expecting the best.
