Ferrari vs Starocci

[RawDog]

After listening to the BEG podcast featuring Ferrari, it sounds like this might actually happen.  Ferrari looked incredible against Iowa State. Does he have a shot at beating Starocci?

when?

[RawDog]

Jan 31st I believe

Am I the only one that’s surprised that people seem to be assuming Ferrari is better than Arnold based off one 8-2 win over a guy that is 2-6 in 3 trips to NCAA’s?

I doubt either has a shot against Starocci, but I feel like Arnold has just as good a shot, maybe better

Someone’s heel is going to touch their headgear in that match.

And it’s not Starocci.

I think it would make sense.  Tom had kueter wrestle kerk and Arnold wrestle plott to get a good feel during redshirt. It also doesn't hurt arnolds seed letting Ferrari wrestle Starocci.

I think the Penn State Iowa dual is on the 31st

I thought we were talking that match where Cstar bumps up and takes on the Focus not whipn' on the little brother.

No, I have been wondering the same thing. But the way the topic has been discussed on FRL, CP seems to think that using Ferrari in the dual is the correct move as well. I don't know if he's heard talk about what happens in the room, or if the assumption is that Arnold cannot beat Starocci, and that because we haven't seen Ferrari lose to anyone in so long, that his ceiling is somewhat unknown at this point.

Even if Starocci handles him, as he should, I like the young Ferrari's mindset right now. His future is bright  if he puts in the work

Yes, that’s the one we all want to see.

Fair enough.  Speaking of CP, I’d gotta agree with him when he said that if they end up using Ferrari in the postseason that it was a monumental mistake to not use Arnold last year.  That almost surely gets them a trophy, and possibly 2nd.  That said, I do think Ferrari stays in redshirt.  He does speak highly of the Brands so don’t think he’ll necessarily be upset if he doesn’t start this year.  He’s also probably already getting the highest NIL offer anyway so not like he could get more elsewhere.  Using him in the PSU dual could give him his shot at Starocci though (and save a loss for Arnold who would still have a shot in the postseason)

Yeah I could see them using Ferrari against PSU for that reason if they think Ferrari is about even with Arnold.  I’m still surprised they used him against ISU though…maybe that’s why people are assuming Ferrari must be better…

That's what I thought at first too.  Might be the only time I would ever pull for AJ.

I give him a legitimate 1% chance.

The fact that they sent Ferrari out in a must win match in a tight dual tells me that he is the better wrestler. They say that he holds his own against Buchanan in the room.
