He felt betrayed that Brands didn't corner him, but then he goes on to say he's had hard feelings and doubts about HWC ever since Dan Dennis was recruited to stay last year yet decided to stick it out for the sake of his wife. Not an elite athlete here, not even close but why would you not want the best training partner(s) out there to help achieve Olympic aspirations...

So this has been brewing for year and he decides leverage this issue following a heartbreaking loss. Not a Tom Brands fan at all, but have a hard time believing this was as blindsiding as he makes it out to be. He had a solid year to go another direction.

Oranges be damned, but i'd be little lukewarm on adding this guy (albeit a stud) to the SERTC room. Metcalf on the other hand would awesome but would think zero chance of that happening.
