Ungar is NJ he was state champ as a sophomore then started going to school in PA but always lived in NJ

Is Parco really coming back ? It’ll be his 6th year and 5th ncaa tournament next season , he started at fresno and it’s going on 4 years that they haven’t existed . He has to be getting pretty old

West Virginia is young and much improved and have another solid recruiting class coming in, they also were missing 2 of their best wrestlers for the Missouri dual (125 + 174)

He was never on campus , he was taking online classes while training for worlds and then transferred right after

I was literally responding to a post listing the weight classes in order from toughest to weakest with 174 listed as the weakest

O’toole needed 2 comeback victories this past weekend , Peyton Hall really had him dead to rights and let it slip away , meanwhile Starocci is out here burying Mekhi Lewis alive 174 has 3 national champs in it ,Starocci just seems to have lapped the field but you can’t say a weight with 3 champs is the weakest

I don’t think Gomez would beat van ness I think his style would feed right into van ness offense .I’m not saying Van Ness was next topic champ bc I think his style could lead to him have some issues against Lovett but I do believe he would beat Gomez 9 out of 10 times hopefully that clears up what I meant

Worked for Rutgers , hired Goodale out of high school to a team that was recruiting non nj state qualifers and had about 8 fans at every dual and he instantly had a top 5 recruiting class and changed the program completely and the Askrens are way more known and have much higher accolades and have worked with college kids before

Yes , Ben talks often about turning a heavyweight with a losing record into an AA in like a year with just gameplan

Gomez is interesting because with no van ness he is definitely talented enough to win the whole weight but I could also see him losing a R12 match to a guy like Ty Watters whose going to attack and come forward for 7 straight minutes

Should be on flo or Rokfin , he starts off by saying something about how at Wisconsin he’d had to wake up for 5 am runs everyday and never got the proper amount to sleep and recovery and that his body was falling apart

But he felt better doing it

Cardenas and Fernandes will be graduate transfers somewhere else next season ( probably Michigan where they will compete in like 5 duals meets and make 6 figures) Ramierz will be back and I believe foca is up in the air , he can graduate by the summer and transfer or he can wait til next season but he may have to sit out the 1st semester of next year to stay at Cornell

Still plenty of Italians on the roster

Doesn’t help that Wick had a lot of negative things to say when he left and pretty much directly came out and said bono was running him into the ground and his body was destroyed from wrestling at Wisconsin

Young left because the coaches left

This is also a school who kicked out a national champ because his grades slipped after his sister and best friend both tragically in a short time span

He doesn’t have a small frame and he’s like 6 ‘1 ..Hell he was wrestling 182 as a junior in high school in 2019 and I doubt he just decided he doesn’t want to cut weight , definitely a Goodale thing trying to get both him and Soldano (an entire other disaster) in the lineup so he can keep hyping Rutgers and duals meets because that’s all he has going for him right now bc they peaked at national level years ago and have been trending the other direction since . Poz hasn’t looked burned out all year , in fact he looked more like his true freshman season this year then he has the past 2, Joles lose is definitely a head scratcher and a bad lose at a bad time but he could very well AA this year and will be in the R12 at worst

I don’t think you can under estimate what the lose of Kennedy and Howe has had on the program. Kennedy got scooped up by Cael immediately and has a big role as PSU now and no offense to BJ Futrell and Justin Oliver both much better than me but they aren’t close to being on the level of a Kennedy and Howe

.

Joles over Poz is a pretty shocking result..Poz was undefeated and looking great so far counting this year and last (his redshirt year) he’s now 20-2 while joles already has 6 loses already .Poz is seen as a possible top 5 placer in the Rutgers world and community ( he did finish 4th as a true freshman)

M2 has been bringing in a lot of World medals and may pass both schools up

I read his book Giant Killer years ago and walked wondering why he isn’t more well known but it’s probably mostly due to a few things 1 being he went the nfl route , 2 him being a recluse for long periods (he literally would disappear for weeks on end , cost him his job with the Steelers) and 3 later on developed an alcohol and drug problem and had some trouble with the law. To his credit he did get clean but he just didn’t seem to want the spotlight I think all those factors are why he’s forgotten or an afterthought compared to other heavies and yes I believe he is the main reason why they stopped letting d2 and D3 compete , I know some big time coaches were at the forefront of that change as well i actually had a thread similar to this on the old board years ago

It is accurate

No way Teague is 12-1 with his only L to Williams and has a win over Ed Scott . Williams lost 10-0 to Arrington , lost to a true freshman from Hofstra and taken a few other Ls already … as long as Alvarez is locked and focused he should be 149 and Teague 157 the rest of the season
