Hurricane Wrestling Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Seems like a lot of their guys are going down to lower-ranked seeds today. Admittedly though, I'm flipping from mat to mat, so my take may not be that accurate. Any Big Red fans out there who can weigh in on how they're doing?
RetiredFromWrestling Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Today was the worst day of wrestling for Cornell since 2003. 1

D3 for LU Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Hey, Hey, Hey... you're stealing jimminy crossbuns thunder here! D3 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
RetiredFromWrestling Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Draw? They have great athletes, but poor development. Shapiro gets worse every year. Ruiz got worse all season, peaked in the summer. They had 4 weights where they couldn’t compete within the ivy league. They used to have to best mat returns and riding in the country. Koll was a great coach who built a great program. They have lived off the fumes for the past few years but the cracks have been obvious.
TexRef Posted March 21 Posted March 21 I am not sure what weight this was, but the Cornell kid was ahead, and just let the opponent back in to the match. Then he gave up the winning TD with about 30 seconds left and he just there on the mat. It was as bad as when Warren laid down at Northern Iowa! 1

BaldAt23 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 They had a bad tournament for sure, big letdown for the program. They are in 17th place and were projected for 6th place by seed. Gut punch I am sure.

The Gaj match was strange because it looked like he was about to secure a takedown but Gaj did a great job to get into a scramble and put Joy in neutral danger for 3+4. As I was typing this, Shapiro took a MFF in the 7th place match which was pretty much what I expected. He seemed off yesterday from the first match where, up 13-0+rt he ignored his corner that was asking him to cut and get one more takedown. Looked like he was trying to conserve energy the whole tournament, a terrible sign when the level of competition goes up. The Ruiz matches against Wask and Kharchla were a nightmare of poor tactical preparation and finishing. In the Kharchla match, Ruiz started the third down one point and ~20 seconds of RT The corner was telling Ruiz to cut and I guess Ruiz thought he stood a better chance of a turn or a rideout as a fallback. That didn't work out at all. Cornella - Hardy went about as well as could be expected and tbh by the end of that one, Cornella had more juice. Strength > speed gave Hardy the early lead but Cornella nearly pulled that one out. Against Nogle, not much to say. Great second period ride from Nogle including a great turn. That NF4 put Cornella in catchup mode. The entire tournament was a frustrating exercise in finishing. I can't count the number of successful single leg attacks that were turned into nothing at best and counter offense more often. Watching this tournament as a Cornell fan ranked slightly behind colonoscopy prep. 2

He kept getting hurt or sick in practice and was never able to train and bulk up in tandem. damn shame in light of what could have been.
