"Olivieri is good, hopefully we will see him." "White, Clark, Pinto all good. Hopefully we have a full lineup" Doesnt sound too convincing does it? As a side note, Rally Towel Night". Make sure you beat all the pee wee teams in and claim one of the 114 rally towels available!!!

Not a good look, gentlemen: 3 miraculous recoveries, and one timely end of a suspension for the dual meet immediately following the Penn State dual? Sorry, but this looks like RU deliberately tanked that dual. RU is a Big Ten wrestling program, and needs to act like it.

at least the 1st string will be competing vs UM tomorrow night, which is worth the trip to see the match live.

Normally I'd agree but duals aren't all that meaningful and showing up tough doesn't get you much. Rutgers has to get guys to the post season healthy and hungry.

Pretty much a nothing burger the way I see it. Joey was out this entire time, no dual meets, no tournaments, nothing. By your logic, that would mean they held him out of everything just to not wrestle him against PSU. White and Clark wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome. If they were dinged up, why risk further? Pinto is the only one questionable and I know nothing regarding his situation. But who really cares?. Ducks (if it was) happen. Isn't Cael known for load management of his wrestlers to keep them fresh? Did RBY have some questionable scratches (Spencer Lee)?

Agree...Not many posters have ever been in a d1 room and actually know the daily grind and injuries that happen...Guys have to get MRIs and x-rays all the time...Your never going to hear about it

This could be our best year ever to beat Michigan. Gilcher is injured and out for the year. The match is at home. Michigan is in a rebuilding year. They start 1 true freshman, 4 redshirt freshman, and 1 redshirt sophomore. Ragusin is at 141 coming off a redshirt and is off to a mediocre start with a 3 and 2 record. Sotelo is 9-3; BUT, has a history of being upset. Smith can take him. Our major concerns are 149 and heavyweight. Lots of tossups.

Go RU!

Where are you finding this designation and what are you implying? Are all the starters "probables" or is it like the NFL and if they arent "out" or dont have any designation, they are good to go?

Got it, thanks. I was responding as I wasn't sure if they release and injury status/active/non active report. That being said:

Didn't renew season tickets this year and was thinking of buying ticket for this match but now do not see any chance of winning and a parking pass for tonight would cost more than the ticket so will stay home and watch Penn St vs Iowa on Big Ten Network, Ridiculous price for parking

He could still end up wrestling. There's no rule that says he has to be listed in the projected lineup, and in the past we've seen others wrestle that weren't. Coach said he could wrestle so it seems like there's a good chance. We'll find out tonight.

Only thing that makes sense if it’s an academic issue of some kind where the program has a baseline GPA in order to compete, though with no classes going on right now I’m not sure how the situation could be remedied at the present time.

Otherwise not sure what issue could be and I doubt we will ever know.

Agree.. parking fee is definitely a deterrent for a lot of fans.

One thing, Scarlet Knights athletics page is not up to date. These articles are written well in advance (like right after the psu match) and not updated. Anon numbers dude, taking this as gospel is misguided.

I have no information, but I read that article several days ago, possibly the same day Goodale said Olivieri would likely wrestle. Wouldn’t assume that he is definitely not wrestling.

Same, on the fence about going tonight, parking price already big deterrent.. dunno if all starters going go or if we got any chances to even win.. hoping for at least a good product on the mat .. probably this or Minnesota best home match left .

It depends on what mindset the squad comes out with. If we wrestle like we did against ohio state last year , we could pull it out. We got to think that if we get throttled tonight , Goodale is definitely gonna be on the hot seat going forward. The fans are getting sick and tired of this bulӏsнit.

I hope you are wrong. Smith has potential to pull upset. If Oliveri wrestles he should win. Ragusin is rusty and hasn't looked good. Pinto, and Cotton (per Flo) ranked higher than their opponents. Can't count Walsh out. Shawver and Barbosa have unranked opponents that could lead to bonus points, Worst case 5-5. The home crowd combined with Michigan's travel should help us beat them for the first time.

These are the types of matches that Rutgers needs to win. If we can't beat Michigan in a down year when will we?

Just park by the movie theater. No one is on campus right now.
