    Wrestling Rutgers Wrestling Assistant Steve Mytych steps down from staff

    I'm genuinely bummed about this. I wish him nothing but the best, but he did a fantastic job at recruiting.

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

    I find it hilarious that Anthony (middle bro) is trying to find his 6th school. I think he's only had like 6 official college matches. Hard pass on that family.

    No national duals for us again

    Dumb criteria, but the event is better than nothing. It just sucks when you know who's automatically out after day 1 well in advance. It could be so much better because last years results don't mean **** in wrestling, especially if those high performers (typically 1 or 2 people on a team, who...

    That sucks though (Ayden). I know Knox is a huge pickup, but it just stinks that we had to lose one of our better younger guys because of it. I just hope it doesn't tarnish any relationships with whatever we have in the Lehigh Valley. I understand why he left, but I just hope it doesn't come to...

    Not shocked. OSU has such a good team. The Feldman injury and Bouz upsets really hurt them

    Wrestling Coaching Carousel & Rumors

    Kind of surprised nobody has publicly addressed the tournament yet. That's one thing I credit Tom Brands for. Win, Lose or even lose embarrassingly, he's on the camera moments afterwards sharing his thoughts.

    Supposedly Synder (of NE) was talking with Goodie, but chose to stay at NE, hence the connection with Labs. What about Coleman Scott? He was supposed to take over for John Smith, but then they made the right choice with Taylor.

    I agree. We have too young of a team to have an older clown around. His value diminishes by the day. I realize he'll still be an AA, but even with his "maturation" he still has clown show antics.

    Are these Comments by Steve Falk of the Asbury Park Press Accurate and is Falk's Reporting Fair?

    He wasn't wrong and he ain't lying. It's about time someone from local media says straight facts. Everyone else seems to kiss Goodales ***. This is a wrestling state and we want to see better performances. The last two tournaments absolutely sucked other than the Thursday that Cotten and Catka had.

    Wrestling 2026 Rutgers NCAA Tournament Thread

    The recruiting can always improve, but we've had some very high ranked classes since Ashnault and Suriano. That's actually one of our bright spots, IMO. Can things turn around with current staff? Possibly, but by the looks of this tournament, unlikely. Or is that the team just had a really bad...

    In the 3 Davino vs Blaze matches, I don't think I've seen one shot from Blaze. He's pretty boring to watch.

    Wrestling 2026 Rutgers NCAA Tournament Thread

    This has been an abysmal performance. six (arguably 7) of the 9 wrestlers were completely outclassed and perhaps outcoached. There was zero killer instinct in any of their matches. Just hard to watch, since they have the skillset to wrestle tougher. It really pains me to see how good Columbia...
