    Weights for the Team

    Such a solid lineup top to bottom! Very excited for the year. My guess for AAs is 2. After reviewing the make up on the weight classes, my guess is that Dean and Soldano have the highest probability of getting on the podium. This team is going to be a very good dual meet team. 125 - i think...

    No. 22 Rutgers Wrestling In Tulsa for 2023 NCAA Championships

    Re 197 and Poz and Solo - Rocky Elam seems like he is 6'2 or 6'3 , the big 197s are going to present a leverage issue for Poz and Solo - Those dudes are huge , just my experience wrestling 184 and 197 - BUT I am absolutely no Solo or Poz, nowhere even in the ball park . Could be 3-5 inches. I m...

    No. 22 Rutgers Wrestling In Tulsa for 2023 NCAA Championships

    Couple thoughts Dean - probably our best wrestler - He ll have to beat Brown (MD) again then either Mckee or D'Augustino - tough path - Future is bright for Dean, first trip to NCAAs and 125 thins out next year losing a lot of firepower. Lee, Glory , Mckee, D'Augustino, Liam Cronin, Barnett...

    No. 22 Rutgers Wrestling Set for 2023 Big Ten Championships

    Tough day but Peterson and Heilman place, 7/8th. Clark battled and wrestled Lewan tough as heck. Turley - that was the best match i have seen him wrestle since he AA-ed.(hope he sneaks into NCAA bc he is rounding into form). BS could possibly place 3/4 and Boone was in position to win that...

    Program

    In short, the only solution is NIL $? Ugh . College athletics is a crazy new world Great to hear to Rivera but he is not on the staff. he is a huge plus! hopefully , he sticks around long term! I was referring to the "Jimmys of the recruiting world " - need a upper weight full time coach...

    Program

    My 2 cents - what Goodie has accomplished is nothing short of amazing. He is great! My opinion is that the staff needs some geographical diversity and youth. Donny is the middle weight coach. They need a light weight coach that will draw in the likes of Anthony Knox. A selling factor for...

    No. 18 Rutgers Wrestling Treks to 2022 Ken Kraft Midlands Championships

    Tough semi round for sure - lost to 2 back ups and a D3 guy / Dean's loss wasn't out of the ordinary. didnt anticipate Oliveri would lose to the Bloomsburg kid in the consi s , was hoping he would place . Surprised Schwaver didnt place either. Does the 125 outcome settle 125?

    Recruiting

    I would think someone similar to Luke Pletcher’s profile (WPIAL HS / Ohio state ) would be ideal. Need a young coach to connect to the young hs kids.

    Recruiting

    OH,Pitt and Lehigh Valley need to be prioritized. RU needs an AA assistant who has ties to Those regions. A bit of geographical diversity in the coaching staff would go a long way. i get a big kick out of the all nj lineup but the top tier private schools kids are going to lean IVY/ EIWA/ UVA...

    Over/Under for All Americans. What Do You Predict?

    Absolutely correct, gonna be a dog fight for the last 2 or 3 trophies. 8 or more previous AAs and a couple round of 12 guys.

    Over/Under for All Americans. What Do You Predict?

    @ 133 - 3 "Locks" for AA - RBY, Fix,Vito- 5 spots up for grabs for the next 11 ranked guys (including Heilman at 14) . In that 11, there are a couple AA s.(Lamont , Foley and Latona, maybe a couple more ) Up hill climb but def possible. Need some breaks on the backside . Im hoping the...

    Over/Under for All Americans. What Do You Predict?

    **On paper... Looking at Flo's rankings @ 125 - looks like 6 "locks" , 2 spots to AA for Shawver / Peterson. I readily acknowledge that Shawver beat Mckee so the arrow is pointing up for RU at 125 but it will be no easy task. Shawver has exceeded expectations and could AA this year or next...
