Love the way Barbosa wrestles. Hopefully he continues to develop. He can be very good.
Wrestling No. 14 Rutgers Wrestling Wrapped Up Home Slate Monday with Princeton
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
He has been the starter for 5 years lol. 2022-165, 2023-157,2024- 157 but got hurt and got a med rs, 25- 149, 26-149
Clark is a decent college wrestler with a winners mentality. Guy will just go out there and grind out wins.
RU wins 28-9 winning 7 out of 10 bouts. SCW, Cotton, Cafka and Joey O pour it on. Nice way for Clark and White to end their RU home career with solid victories so now go finish the dual season 14-5 at Hofstra.
President is becoming quite the fan, he was in attendance again tonight. I've never seen a Rutgers President at a single match in 16 yrs. of being a season ticket holder till this year.
Thanks for following along all season long on Big Ten+ !! 
Always a great day when Rutgers tops Princeton.
I’ll see you guys in Cleveland on radio on ScarletKnights.com …. more info to follow on coverage for NCAAs just like last season.

The kid Joey O tech called just pinned All American CJ Composto of Penn and the 133 pounder for Princeton just beat Mongolian of Penn.
Joey beat an unranked guy, as he should. He looks good, so hopefully he'll be ready for what's coming. Shawver lost to yet another unranked guy. Not good. Shawver's ranking dropping to the mid- to high-20s isn't what anyone expected.
TROPHY STAYS HOME! No. 14 Wrestling Tames Princeton, 28-9 - Rutgers University Athletics
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – No. 14 Rutgers wrestling (13-5) defeated Princeton (4-10), 28-9, on Monday night in front of 3,820 fans at Jersey Mike's Arena. The win wa...
Joey looked great and demonstrated that he didn’t lose a step from a long layoff.
The Princeton match created concerns for the objective Rutgers fan. Pinto began the year ranked # 8 and Shawver began at # 7. They both participated in the NWCA All Star Classic.
Last night Pinto and Shawver lost to unranked kids. Today’s InterMat
rankings rank Shawver #25 and Pinto #20. Oliveri is ranked # 6 and is our best hope to All American.
I hope our guys turn it around in Cleveland. One All America is below preseason expectations.

Some of you guys are just brutal about Pinto...Had a major injury during season but continues to go out and battle for RU...He will be in NCAA Tournament in March and hopefully healthier
If he’s injured Ford should go until he’s healthy….
Who knows, but Ford is capable. In today’s meta if you got a major inj u should not be wrestling... the goal is to make postseason as healthy as possible… wrestling hurt
,while performing worst, doesn’t seem like the best approach..
So Pinto’s reason from starting ranked #7 to dropping to w.e he is now is bc he’s been sent to wrestle not full health after major inj..
What’s the reason for RU’s other, all star match participant, Shawver, starting ranked #7 to now dropping to #31.. it’s almost unbelievable…
Burn out probably. He’s wrestled 150+ matches in 6 years at Rutgers, including a year where he needed a medical redshirt, and probably close to 200 matches in high school. Had a busy summer training freestyle for worlds too. The sport is a grind and not everyone’s body holds up.
