  1. Coop should jump into the rankings pretty quickly after today. Likely in the 15ish range until he gets more matches. Besides midlands, he catches Mizzou and Cornell early January so two more top 10 ranked guys.
  2. Coop is a dawg! Glad he’s getting the starting nod. I think his recent FS experience will prove valuable with the new 3 point takedown.
  3. If VT can get points at 125 and 165 in March, they will likely finish slightly higher. I’m very skeptical that’ll happen at 125 right now but think 165 will end up being okay. Who knows maybe Sasso ends up snagging the starting spot at 197 too. He’s not a giant slayer yet but he did knock off 3 ranked guys this weekend
  4. ??? I gave an update….
  5. Shapiro just lost
  6. There’s not enough collegiate folk data on Shapiro yet to imply he’s unbeatable. If he keeps wrestling like this though, he’s gonna be tough for most guys to beat, but still beatable. The scary part is he’s a true freshman
  7. Not so much of a Shapiro weakness but BA was close to finishing a couple of those scrambles that he usually wins. BA just needs to keep doing BA things and I think he has a shot to get the W either in the dual or March.
  8. 4-5 years of watching most of BA’s matches
  9. VT and Cornell have a dual this season, like most seasons so they’ll scrap again prior to March. I’m not discounting Shapiro’s skills at all, but I think the next match will be significantly closer.
  10. How so? white flag is indicative of surrender. Even in Andonian’s loss, he was bringing it against an opponent that’ll be a legit natty title contender after this weekend
  11. VT fan here with zero inside info but the vt board mentioned awhile back he’s been battling a minor injury. Me personally, I think it’s the weight cut
  12. Do you have to now create an account just to view the flo website?
  13. I’m a vt fan but appreciate watching a talented wrestler. I look forward to seeing him scrap
  14. There’s some hammers he’ll have to beat to get to the semis but so far, he’s looking dominant and improved over last year’s true freshman performance. Andonian catches Shapiro early. That oughta be interesting if Shapiro lives up to the hype. VT and Cornell have a dual too so these guys might wrestle at least 3 times this year
  15. Flo’s projections are interesting for 149-174. All seem plausible but it’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. They have Henson winning 149. He’ll have to take out Parco in the semis. They have very similar styles and it’ll be a great match
  16. He is. I’ve seen him interacting with a lot of the young fans. He’s a very genuine person
  17. Oh, you are talking about his style. That’s legit. I thought you were talking his personality, which would have been way off base. He’s probably the nicest D1 wrestler there is
  18. That’s interesting. I have never heard any negative comments about Lewis.
  19. On a flo interview, staocci said Lewis didn’t want to wrestle. Carter is a punk
  20. VT shot way many more shots than Rutgers. Does either team keep stats? Just guessing it was a 3:1 ratio in VT’s favor
  21. The rumor/speculation is injury but based off watching his matches, it could be an illness. I didn’t notice any mobility issues or other physical concerns. An illness and first few times making weight is a tough ask but part of the sport. We will see how he look’s tomorrow night.
  22. Wrestle stat has this as a Rutgers win 20-14 or so. It sounds like 125 will be a swing match and Eddie has his hands full if he’s still hurt
  23. The buckeyes put it on us tonight. That was an old fashion butt whippin. I haven’t missed many home duals in the last 15 years but this one was mostly one sided. VT had a special announcement for Sammy Sasso and he got a standing ovation. I got there just prior to the start and sat on the visitor side. Kharch’s dad, I assume was pi$$ed. He stormed out of the stand after his loss and it sounded like he hit a blast double on the trash can on his way out
  24. VT’s IG account has each hokie’s walkout song and BA is listed. Things could change but for the hokie fans, and wrestling fans in general minus the buckeyes, sounds like BA is a go. Buckle up and don’t blink if he does go
  25. Hopefully that’s just a bad rumor. True freshman Hipolito likely would get the start over Ulrey.
