    Wrestling College Wrestling: Top 25 teams in operating expenses for 2025 fiscal year.

    That’s all well and good I said the goal of many elite wrestler is to ne the best wrestler in the world. If you want a good academic school and are good wrestler but don’t see that as your path it makes sense. And I question the development part … pritzlaff, sea bass , Edgar , Buxton… you had...

    Wrestling College Wrestling: Top 25 teams in operating expenses for 2025 fiscal year.

    Why not us? If you don’t believe in you why should anyone else. We are not talking about history, we are talking about today. Nebraska as a counterpoint. You just don’t want to say what needs to be said, Goodale is not a good enough coach to get Rutgers to the next level. He’s a good coach ...

    Wrestling College Wrestling: Top 25 teams in operating expenses for 2025 fiscal year.

    Why? What’s the compelling event to select Rutgers? Im asking what’s the pitch. I’m not saying this to be negative but as an actual examination. I’m kid konkrete and my bar is Olympic Gold Medalist, that’s my vision, my dream and target. To be an elite wrestler in the world … I don’t hope to AA...

    2026-27 Roster/Lineup Discussion (Portal opens 4/1)

    Because you seeing it as rushing, and he sees it as you can win now. Watch the interviews and his comments, they discussed. Simple question do you think I can win a national championship now, DT told him he could do it, they said let’s go. He didn’t leave HS to redshirt. Again the whole...

    2026-27 Roster/Lineup Discussion (Portal opens 4/1)

    Because DT told them he believed they could win nationals championships right now. Not my words DTs, when Jax and DT reviewed Jax leaving HS early DT told him he could win now. That teams mindset starting with the coach is completely different from RUs mindset, granted they were elite...

    Wrestling 2027 Point Boro recruit Jake Clayton commits to Rutgers Wrestling

    What happened to not putting people down. Here’s the thing I couldn’t care less what your philosophy happens to be ultimately, live how you want to live- it’s your life. But I don’t think your binder full of appreciation has …. to do with being the best at particular craft. Good for you...

    Wrestling 2027 Point Boro recruit Jake Clayton commits to Rutgers Wrestling

    Being unable to recognize and address flaws in seeking improvement is the surest way to never get better at anything. Your philosophy of positivity and being happy is great but I can guarantee your opponent couldn’t care less about your happiness or how many people you helped. Thems is the...

    Wrestling 2027 Point Boro recruit Jake Clayton commits to Rutgers Wrestling

    Good life ain’t sunshine and rainbows tough … all these negative people. In the great words of Ocho Cinco you don’t want me to celebrate don’t let me score. Who cares what someone else thinks that sounds like your issue not theirs. Excellence is the will to resist the gravitational pull of...

    Wrestling 2027 Point Boro recruit Jake Clayton commits to Rutgers Wrestling

    I hear that. And for Rutgers to get where it wants to go a target of being an AA by the time you graduate won’t be enough. Being AA is an extremely hard thing to do but that’s not where the top guys or the teams Rutgers want to best aim … they seek to get better every day, assume they will be...

    Rutgers Wrestling 2026 U.S. Open Thread

    I’m with you Ashnault is not a needle mover hire in the Big 10. More importantly just looking at the statistics the best coaches or atleast the top coaches also had high levels of international success themselves. This isn’t always true but it’s a common theme. I posted AI evaluation of...

    Wrestling 2027 Point Boro recruit Jake Clayton commits to Rutgers Wrestling

    Most big ten starters are multiple time hs state champs. Not to mention summer accolades. And you are right he may have a lot of untapped potential but he may also never make up the gap that kids who specialized and wrestled year round have naturally created over time. And that’s assuming...

    Wrestling Rutgers Wrestling adds Lehigh to 2026-27 schedule

    Would agree. It kind of stinks for Rutgers if the reigns had been turned over to Donnie Rutgers would likely be stronger team, and heck of a staff. Keep Buxton at RTC can still bring in AA, and someone heavy’s and that all around would be a really compelling staff. short of getting someone...

    Damion Hahn was first choice not Ashnault

    You mean he trained with Donnie and Buxton. And was told they, Rutgers. would not wait for him to make a decision until after the Olympics when Donnie took the Columbia job, they hired Labriola, and sea bass verbalized in podcast what went down and his disappointment in a promise not kept...

    Damion Hahn was first choice not Ashnault

    When Donnie was at Rutgers. He hasn’t done anything without him where as Donnie has achieved without Goodale.
