All star classic

[Antitroll2828]

Right around the corner on Nov 1. Hosted by Rutgers this season after being at Penn State since its revival a few years ago. Only guys I’ve seen announced so far are the Rutgers duo with Shawver at 133 and Pinto at 174 . Have any other guys announced they are in? anyone think PSU won’t send a bunch of guys bc they aren’t hosting?

I don’t think anyone would complain about any of those matchups ..I’d love to see Shane Van Ness wrestle in it again , his dad is a Rutgers legend and SVN grew up in the area and always puts on a pretty good show

With the given that Shawver and Pinto are at 133/174, it would be safe to assume no further Rutgers guys.

Penn State usually sends a few, but it isn't at home this year.  Michigan typically sends a guy (or three).  Would be cool to see that.

125 - Lilledahl against anyone at 125 in the Top 5.

133 - Would love to see Ayala - Crookham.  Make Crookham earn that shot at the #1 spot by beating last season's #2.  That said, with Shawver being confirmed, I'd like to see him VS Crookham.

141 - I'd like to see Ragusin against either Hardy or Stanich at 141lbs, if Ragusin is actually going 141lbs.  Ragusin against Echemendia would be cool, as well.  Three entirely different styles there.

149 - I'd like to see McNeil against SVN, although I think SVN - Henson makes the most sense.

157 - I want to see Kasak - Taylor again.  Especially since we might not even see Kasak take the mat come B1Gs.

165 - Blaze - Caliendo is the match to make here.

174 - Mantanona - Pinto for me.  Steed - Pinto would also do it for me.

184 - Any two from Focus, Sinclair, McEnelly, Welsh, Ryder, and Mantanona for me.  Any two of them.

197 - Elam - Barr out the gate.  That one's got to do it.

285 - Mirasola - Big Taye

Welsh Ryder would be a good way to kick off the season .Norman vs pinto would be fun ,both pretty open styles and Norman is also a Nj guy that grew up a stones throw away from Rutgers

That's a good call.  I just think a lot of Norman's luster is gone, from when he beat Griffith at CKLV two seasons ago now.

That said, I believe every one of his losses last season was a one takedown match.  You take the 21-6 record and flip half of those, and he is very high seed and making a deep run.

I'd watch it.
