Angelo Ferrari - ALL AMERICAN

He has no clue, just a troll. AF is a Hawk
Hes is a take my ball and leave kind of kid. Things don‘t go his way he pouts. When it’s going good he’s confident (cocky) and fun to watch. If he was injured why take someone’s spot. Finish the tournament. Has a lot of growing to do. Tough year staying healthy. I believe Tom is hiding how bad he is injured. Maybe he should have set this one out. JMO
He got a stinger in his neck once it went away he was fine. So you never noticed he couldn't suck up the leg when extended and him shaking his left arm during breaks ? And for context he finished the Rowley match as well just like Hepner did
So you know Angelo and have spent lots of time around him? He's the opposite of take my ball and go home .
The only issue I have with Angelo is I believe his offensive ability is better than maybe even he thinks it is. He needs to fire off more shots regardless of who he is wrestling, he's got the goods IMO.
I did pick McEnelly to win it at the beginning of the year, he proved last year he was a stud. Angelo is right there, and obviously Welsh and Sinclair are formidable as well. It's a guantlet for whomever comes out on top for the foreseeable future. 1 mistake for 1 second and you're out.
Angelo wins it all this year if he is healthy. Most people don't have surgery if nothing is wrong?! He damn near still pulled it off. Bashing on him for medical forfeiting out of B10s a n d NCAAs shows you are either clueless or just an *******. Take your pick.
There are actually mods? Color me surprised.
Seeing this thread get bumped with a link scared the **** out of me
And still damn near made the finals at 184. Maybe he is pretty good at wrestling?
Props to AF for gutting it out and being a warrior.
He underperformed according to mattski
Well, he did, but because of injury. Not sure injury can/should be excluded from a final assessment of 'performance', it is part of the reason and not always a result of freak unpreventable things. Also fair to say that before injury, he wasn't the offensive dynamo that most hoped. I'm excited we have him, but he's not free from critique. Regardless of reason, he didn't have as good of year as many hoped. Give it whatever name you wish, he needs to improve like most.
how moronic do you feel about your calculated opinion about him now?
Feel the exact same way. He should not have been out there. If you are hurt be hurt. Don’t go and try to be a hero and do more damage. If it is as bad as everyone says it is some one should have stepped in. Kid is tough as nails. I believe he got bad advice to wrestle the tournament. I’m
He has a lot more in the tool shed to give than most, I'm convinced of that. Maybe he saw how his brother got it done as a freshman 197 lb Champion and figured that approach could work for him too(?). No idea, but watching him more often it felt like he could widen the gap quite often if he really wanted to. He's got the goods IMO.
I picked McEnelly over him and The Field at the start of the year, just because McEnelly had been that good already. He proved it thru a full season prior, and backed it up with a National Title this year. He's a handful.
That said, a healthy Angelo is absolutely in the mix with anybody, and if he finds a way to open up his offense he's the guy to beat IMO. But he has to prove it, and that weight class as it currently stands is top heavy with some tough S.O.B.'s.
I guess, at least you gave him credit for being tough, but the rest of your post is way off.
A guy only gets so many opportunities to try to be a National Champ.
He sure did get banged up pretty bad for wrestling such a limited schedule. I hope he puts the injury bug behind him over the summer.
Fishinghawk might be a better user name...
Can’t remember the last time 184 had 4 guys this good and underclassmen.
You must have the onset of “Walleye twitch?” Tie more snells, it helps.
Very insightful!! Ice still more than a foot thick on lakes (but degrading fast so can't ice or water fish, or beaver trap), warming sun but still snow on the ground, turkey season not yet here, walleye not yet open, no portal news yet... Cleaning the boat, relining the poles, and dreaming of fresh Canada walleyes might be just what I need to snap out of it.
What was it like being a basketball player?
Wow I’m 5’4” tall. Wrestled through injuries. 56 now had both knees replaced 1 hip and a shoulder. Wrestled back when they shot up up and sent you out. Never denied he was hurt. i believe he recieved poor advice if he was hurt bad enough to not finish the tournament. Do you not think him be so seriously hurt could have jeopardized his career? So he went for it as a freshman Gets hurt worse and his career is over. I think that would be good advice for anyone. How would people on here react if that would have happened.
Pretty confident Iowa Wrestling has access to some pretty sharp folks in the medical field.
I think you’re on to something good. Personally, I’m working on my “Morel twitch.” Maybe this coming week?
What’s everyone’s goal? Be a 4 timer. Hard to be a 4 timer when you don’t wrestle in March.
All 4 are so good defensively, it will be hard for any of them to pull away. I think AF has the highest ceiling though. His defense is next level and he should only get better offensively. With matches among these top guys guaranteed to be super tight, he also needs to get better on top so he can win rideouts.
