Grello’s loss fo Foca is bad, you can’t lose to a true freshman as a 5th year senior because you just can’t get to your offense.

 

[MS-RU]

That's been Grello's achilles and it will continue to cost him. Foca is obviously very good but that's a bad loss for Joe.

 

[Leonard23]

Grello was disappointing but I'm not surprised as this is what he's been.

 

[MS-RU]

Scott loses 5-2 as well.

 

[rugrapfan1]

Foca has NJ state tattooed on his right shoulder 0.0

Correct me if I am wrong. Both wrestled for BC.

 

[koleszar]

Grello loses to Foca 7-6. His passivity in the first killed him. Joe was the better wrestler for 2 periods but Foca scored early and milked it the rest of the match.

Sorry but it's the same Grello for 3 yrs. now. He always looks to counter and is never the aggressor. When he does shoot once in a blue moon he has a good shot. But like I said he only does that once in a blue moon.

 

[R U Crazy]

Joe is a Junior, but he needs to win that one if he wants to All American

 

[Harleyr1]

Joe needs to shoot, problem it's never going to happen.

Been 3 years ..still never shoots !

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Grello was disappointing but I'm not surprised as this is what he's been.

This ^^^^^^^^^ Grello has been this way for his career. Strong, good rider, but lack of offense will and has kept him from making a level jump.

Grello is a junior . And a stud true freshman is still a stud.. I like the fight at the end from Grello.. it was starting to look like it was heading towards a major

 

[rugrapfan1]

Smith goes down this was Grello’s tourn to win. SMH!!!!

Last year I really thought he'd open up and was excited for his progression. Then last year happened and I realized this is it for the next two years he's not going to change.

Some wrestlers just don't have that killer instinct. Grello after 3 years is who he is.

Foca has been a wrecking ball so far this year and is going to be good one for the Big Red. But I agree, you'd definitely like to see our seasoned vet beat a true freshmen.

Agreed.... But you don't treat a true frosh like a returning NCAA champ for the 1st 4 minutes.... He let Foca dicate the match until last 3 minutes... By then, it was too much of a lead to overcome...

Joe is only a redshirt junior but this is all he'll ever be, if a light bulb doesn't go off that he needs to be more aggressive.

Yeah I edited the post.

Grello another one who is what he is. Always will be defensive so will lose to better wrestlers

I don’t think Grello went into that match thinking he’s a true fresh so I’m going squash him or big brother him bc we both from BC, although maybe he shoulda..
Grello is the same Grello we gotten from last 3 years. We know what to expect. Grello got caught early to be down 4-0 and I’m pleasantly surprised he fought back and almost won it.

 

[MS-RU]

Correnti loses 5-2 to Laird from Rider

 

[MS-RU]

Pagano loses 9-0 to Beard from PSU.

We are dropping like flies.

 

[13duke st.]

We brought in a great class last year but missing out on those upper weight jersey guys is the difference between being a top 15 program or a top ten program.

 

[koleszar]

Pagano loses 9-0. Really didn't do anything.

 

[SCNJ]

Cornell might end up having the best 1-2-3 punch in the upper weights in 2-3 years. Those NJ Finger Lakes kids are all studs.

 

[KidDagger]

Pagano loses 9-0. Really didn't do anything.

Beard is another true freshman.. he was a top p4p recruit of his class and is probably expected to take over for struggling psu 197er Conel.

Great, so glad for Cornell and psu their future looks bright. As I'm watching Esposito get dominated, ours however in the upperweights? Eh, not looking too promising.

 

[R U Crazy]

Gremmel just too big for Esposito....loved the opening takedown thou.

 

[RUTrack94]

Lots of consecutive losses ...

 

[Jagger712]

Beard is another true freshman.. he was a top p4p recruit of his class and is probably expected to take over for struggling psu 197er Conel.

Eh, he grayshirted last year. In my opinion you can only be a legit true freshman if you were actually in high school last year.

 

[kavija66]

This is unlikely. Rasheed defeated Conel in a wrestleoff but is still nursing an injury. When he is cleared to wrestle, he’ll be at 197. No need to pull Beard’s shirt.

 

[KidDagger]

The reason PSU is so dominant is bc they keep recruiting these top p4p talent coming out of HS... by the time these true freshman/RS fresh/gray shirt fresh get in their lineups they are already contending for AA/NCAA titles..

Right , psu also got AA Rasheed ..

 

[R U Crazy]

Grey shirt plus Red shirt.....CRazy

Is Angelo a Grey shirt? He is called a RS Freshman, but he went to FLWC

It's like a waiting list if you want to have even three possible years of starting eligibility over there

 

[R U Crazy]

Look at Mason Manville....will he ever start for them?

 

[SCNJ]

Where can I find the team scores?

[koleszar]

And Angelo loses in SV to a kid from Rider with 1 sec. left.. This was a bad tournament for him.

 

[RutgersAlum]

Angelo just lost to Fluri from Rider so he is done.

 

[MS-RU]

Angelo loses to the kid from Rider. Poor showing from him today.
