During the Luther Open on Austin Desanto’s way to claiming his title some events occured.
Austin Desanto was competing in the Luther Open Finals, he ended up wrestling fellow teammate Cullan Schriever and ended up winning the match by score of 8-4. During the match Austin Desanto was dominating as he normally does with his physical dominance and was putting it on Schriever early in the match.
Throughout the match as most “underdogs” do gain more and more confidence and start frustrating better guys when they realize oh I can hang with this guy. That is pretty much what happened with Cullan Schriever and he was able to get a takedown of his own on Austin Desanto. Cullan’s dad Ryan Schriever started getting excited for his son and started cheering him on (nothing disrespectful). After a while Desanto pretty much stopped wrestling and stared down Schriever.
According to the evidence: After the match had concluded Desanto comes running to the side of the mat and says “Where is that old f-?! Gonna root against a teammate!” After this he decides to escalate the situation and runs towards Schriever in the bleachers and says “I’m going to f-ing kill you, if not now I’ll get you later.”
After this Terry Brands got in his face and said “what the f- are you doing you hypocrite! Ok you’re mad at him for rooting against a teammate, his son, so you’re gonna kill a teammates dad, what?!” Desanto refused to listen to Coach Brands and proceeded still say that he was going to kill Schriever.
This is all that has been known on the situation and it is unsure if more details on the situation will be released, but it is the reportedly the second time that Desanto has threatened to kill a person in the span of this last year. (Last time being at the NCAA Tournament and got banned from the All American parade.
Other matters are being released on the topic and they include the video of Austin Desanto running into the stands and also more eyewitness testimonies.
So if you commit a felony and apologize, there are no consequences? Even the 2nd time?? Good job Iowa, says a lot about your priorities.
Time for him to get punished. He is going to end up in jail or prison soon.
HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME AND REMOVED FROM THE TEAM! IF COACH BRANDS DOES NOT REMOVE HIM HE IS A JERK!
These are the actions of someone who cannot control themselves. He will end up like OJ Simpson or Oscar Pistorius
If this guy was on Sanderson’s team he would be off the team but probably not Iowa’s!
