if Shawver is getting ANY NIL, he is stealing...

RU needs a full fkng refund... he doesnt look like he gives AF...let alone wrestling well.

Goody said Gibson is likely in the wrong weight class...can he go instead of Shawver the rest of the way?
Agree. Rather have someone who actually wants to try. He has given up. This is on Goodale. Have accountability and make someone earn it vs just throwing them out for past accolades

True freshman bumping up from 133 because of injury, wins. The kids highest place at NJ states was 3rd. I'd hold the horses on Gibson.

Olivieri is f’in killing us and guess they dont want to burn Parkins bc he is better option at 141. Gibson is not a 141.

Good chance we lose this dual. So done with Goodale

Shawver is clearly checked out and this team loses some really bad matches in ugly fashion. The coaching and discipline is nonexistent.

agree...and its not just that...but how do you expect to punch above your weight when your seasoned veterans act as if they dont give AF

the lack of leadership is just so pitiful

he either needs to hire a stud assistant, or he should be let go. this is just unacceptable.

No, I expect a win. Some questionable bouts coming up, but Walsh should win comfortably, and that along with the bonus points will do it. I'd rather have seen Magro out there at 149.

Maybe not turn on guys like ShawverHe went from a guy getting worked by 1 armed robbie Howard as freshman to becoming Rutgers 3rd ever big ten champ, won 100 matches and an AA. I highly doubt he doesn’t care anymore, if that was the case I doubt he’d be cutting all that weight.Rutgers doesn’t have any big time aspirations this year its not like he’s holding the team back or blocking someone from the lineup. For whatever reason , injury,weight cut, or just maxing out his abilities his best days are behind him so instead of turning on the kid and trashing him how about we appreciate the hell of the career hes had.

sorry, with kids getting paid now, this type of criticism is fair game

even the announcers were critical of Shawver

p1ss poor effort today...and not acceptable from a team leader.

Huh? He just lost to a kid below .500. Braxton Brown just tech falled this kid 19-2, 25 secs into the third on Friday. But now we should be congratulating him for just showing up and participating. Come on.

no idea. but happy to play this game. do you?

btw, were you happy with his performance today?
Not thrilled but once I saw the versions of Shawver, Pinto and Catka we were gonna get this year and Joey O getting whisked away into witness protection I accepted it for what it is and had 0 expectations.

He’s going say something like Shawver was recruited to be a room guy and has exceeded all wildest expectations so now there should be no critiques and we should be happy he’s still participating at all.

we all love Rutgers...otherwise we wouldnt be here...

that's just not ok, IMHO. there is no reason this team shouldnt have higer expectations. I am not saying we can get to the PSU/OSU/Iowa level...but there is no reason we cant be a top 10 program. especially now with Zinn - allegedly - bringing serious $$ to the party

I just dont see us getting there with Goody. maybe he will go out and hire a top assistant and prove me wrong.

I would LOVE that.

From tech falling this kid to this. I'm beyond words what this coaching staff is getting out of these kids.
