He has all the talent in the world. Just makes so many bad mistakes.
Another mediocre performance from Soldano. He gets so sloppy/careless at times and then he gets bullied by most of his opponents on top of it. He needs to drop down to 174 to resurrect his career.
Turley looked like he died 3/4 through that match. Lol
Soldano is just so frustrating bc you know talent is there and these are guys he should beat.
Soldano needs to redshirt and come back at 174 to ever have a shot at AA
I've never seen him so gassed. We know he doesn't have the best gas tank but he literally just gave up for like 30 seconds. Not sure if he was hurting or just absolutely exhausted but that was quite interesting to say the least lol
Poz wins 6-2. Controlled the entire match. BTN TV and B1G+ streaming are about a minute out of sync with B1G+ many times ahead of TV, which is a little annoying and it's usually the opposite. Poz looked to have 2 backs on a chin back that the ref was too slow on getting down, and Sollars could've been hit for stalling again in 2nd after laying there.
Yara and Poz doing what they're supposed to good job. Would have liked to see a little more offense from Poz.
Nice, solid win by Poz. Controlled the entire match. Sollars should have been hit with stalling once again at the very least.
I was ok with the no call. You really need to get that 6 inches on the chin back. Would have liked him to finish that duck under late in the first. That is where the 197 size comes into play.
Yara with a dominant 13-1 win. Had almost 5 mins of ride time.
When he did do it, the opponent did a good job of running off the mat to escape a couple of late near takedowns.
Fair enough, maybe only 1 swipe then. Yeah the bigger taller guys are harder to finish that on and the announcers commented about that being harder for him to finish on bigger guys so it's an adjustment.
Redshirt, yes, but I'm not sure about 174. Big cutting isn't for everyone and he's never cut a ton so I'm not sure he's interested.
I always thought that “go for tech/pin” strategy in a tournament is beyond stupid. Team score is stupid, especially for Rutgers who has no chance at a top 3 finish. Take your win and move on.
One day some one is going to let a guy up to try and go for team points and they’re gonna get caught and taken to their back, and it’ll go viral.
I'd say very good except for Soldano.
-Dean avenged the earlier loss
-Moore pin was unexpected.
-Middle three we hoped for Cetta but most knew it was wishful thinking, the other two have no chance in this tournament.
-Turley concerning at the end but still won
-Soldano at this point, just a disappointment
-Poz/Yara did what they should and controlled or dominated each match.
I don't think it's about team points. Go end the match. If one more takedown ends it... Don't take a bad shot but if you have a good set up, go and execute.
I get it but that's because he waited until they're only 30 seconds left in the match. He had so much riding time accumulated I feel like he should have started with a minute to go. But I'm no expert which is why I am asking.
Rather take no risks and just lay on top of the guy for 30 seconds. Can’t lose while on top.
I agree if there was risk, but I just didn’t see any real risk here, only upside. But he did eventually cut him loose, so I assume that’s what they were thinking as well. I’m obviously not an expert here, but I was hoping he would cut him loose a little earlier to try to get the tech.
YESSSSSS! Dean finally got to his shot and it paid off big time.
Peterson with a huge 7-1 win over #1 Ramos!!
Peterson looks focused. Love if he can make a run!!!
