In the minority, but I have found myself rooting for Desanto.


I have seen it rumored many times that he has autism, so I want to see him find success in the sport. Never seen a coach confirm it, so there's a chance that's incorrect.

However, like most I hate seeing him blow up like he did against Miccic and Lizak. Those are huge failures for him in my opinion.

I think the Iowa coaching staff may be perfect for him in regards to maxing out his wrestling potential. Their coaches appear to emphasize a focus of wrestling above all other things in life. I think that approach will work perfect for him.

At the same time I have big concerns for him behavior wise at Iowa. His teammates and coaches need to discourage and immediately shut down any actions that resemble what happened Sunday. Instead they may be encouraging it.

I wonder how much control he has of himself in those situations. One day he may do something that he can't come back from.
