Shows NJ wrestling dominance. A 5x NY state champ is #4 overall vs. a 1x NJ state champ who is #1 overall.
Do we have any reciruits or prospects competing at senior nationals? I skimmed the seeding and didn’t notice anyone.
I would think Fix has the best chance....
He is probably the most experienced Free Style wrestler in group.
Snyder vs Nickal will be an awesome match

I'd be surprised if even 2 NCAA champs won, lol. I would say either Lee or Fix have the best chance, without thinking a lot about it.
PS- 'Foley's Mailbag' from Intermat:

Also, Intermat named Sanderson Coach of the Year. Scott Goodale was runner up.
Busiello is a former NO 1 who has held the top dog spot on and off in multiple weights.
This match will be competitive but I expect JoJo to win.
Van Ness knocked Busiello out of the top spot at Super 32. Busiello had won like 4-5 Super 32 titles until the Blair wrecking ball beat him.
Yes he did but Busiello has that type of talent level.It should be a good test for Aragona and I expect him to win either way.
Wouldn't be surprised honestly. They moved to NJ to go to Blair, not Bergen Catholic, unfortunately.
Nah. It was more than Blair. They wanted the NJ competition and national schedule which they still get. I'd be shocked.
Oh okay, that makes sense. There are no prestigious high schools with national schedules in TX?
I feel like you have not read anything they have said on the subject. Most of the family has now relocated to NJ. They call NJ home. Now, they could be playing politics, but HS age kids rarely do that.
Bergen Catholic had more NCAA champions than Blair this season in the NCAA
Just saying!!
Just saying!!
RU is now Bergen Catholic South. Let that sink in.
Suriano, Lipari, Grello, Pagano.
Want to wrestle in front of 8,000 screaming Jersey Fanatical Wrestling fans who will have your back for the rest of your career and lives at THE NJ University ? - F'N RUTGERS is where you come !
Or go out of state, where you are that new kid from NJ who they know little about.
Think Nick Suriano is happy about his transfer? Listen to his post Championship interviews, the kid gushes about Rutgers and the fans like Brian Leonard did for Rutgers Football.
Think Anthony Ashnault regrets not going to an out of state school ? He IS NOW A NJ WRESTLING LEGEND !
There is a NEW ORDER and the College Wrestling Landscape changed on Saturday Night, March 23.

Hell yeah.
I think Ashnault using his post NC interview to try to start an R-U chant tells you everything you need to know about his loyalties.
Fair enough. I totally agree with what you're saying. I'm definitely not a Penn State fan. I've been a loyal Rutgers fan for over 30 years. I'm not here to stir the pot. If I offended some people about Pete Gonzalez, then I apologize. I just didn't feel my first impression of him was very positive. Regarding Bob Suriano, the unfortunate part is that people don't realize what intent is through posting on forums. I was actually praising the guy and found such admiration for him. Nick suriano is one of my favorite athletes of all time. The adversity this young man went through in the mindset that he has is unmatched. I also have a little bit of quirkiness about me and and attitude, because I was a highly decorated New Jersey wrestler and Division 1 wrestler. With that said I want to contribute positivenss to this board as much as I can. I still don't like this FoxRU guy though. He's a freaking wiseass, who doesn't even give people a shot to talk or express their opinions, without being micromanaged. I get micro managed by my wife enough.

FoxRu is a solid poster. He typically adds to the these boards when he adds his perspective. Keep an open mind about him and give him a shot! Other than that let’s keep the positivity going my dude. And if you don’t mind me asking, what college did you wrestle for? Completely understand if you prefer not to answer, but I’m just curious.
As much as I like Foster, yikes, he's going to get shelled! For starters, he was already an undersized 184 pounder, and now wrestling UP at 202 against COX!
I hate to, but I'm calling a pin right now.
Lol..Anyone that has to defend themselves and state that they played in college and coaches it’s probably not true. They used to wrestle in high school but couldn’t make the college team and doesn’t coach because they didn’t wrestle in college.....just a bad cycle..jmo...lol

Now let's land ourselves a nice Italian sports car.
Honestly though, AJ and Shane could be the next iteration of Ashnault and Suriano. If we have truly "made it" these are the types of NJ targets we need to be closing on every few years. Rodney still has close ties to the program, but just can't get a feel for what he and his boy will do.
But my god, those guys would be game changers.

Van Ness is a sophomore ranked #3 at 132.
AJ Ferrari is a junior ranked #1 at 220 (likely will go 197 in college)
Anthony Ferrari is a freshman I believe. He is a little harder to track down as he wrestled 113 at Blair all the way up to 132 when he transferred to Bergen Catholic. I can't find a ranking for him.
1 Sr. Parker Keckeisen Nicolet WI 1 UNI
2 Sr. Carter Starocci Erie Prep PA 2 Penn St.
3 Sr. Abe Assad Glenbard N. IL 3 Iowa
4 Sr. Chris Foca Bergen Cath. NJ 4 Cornell
5 Jr. Patrick Kennedy Kasson-Mantorville MN 5 Iowa
6 Sr. Jackson Turley St. Chris VA 6 Rutgers
2 Sr. Carter Starocci Erie Prep PA 2 Penn St.
3 Sr. Abe Assad Glenbard N. IL 3 Iowa

6 Sr. Jackson Turley St. Chris VA 6 Rutgers
Jojo could be there too. He’s #1 in his weight and #6 overall. A RS year wrestling with Ash, Nick, Pritzlaff, etc. and he should be an easy 4-time AA fighting for Big Ten and national titles.
I like Jojo... a lot. Best recruit in years. However, I put AJ and Shayne as true blue chippers who are more electric at this point. Every major school I'm sure is making a move on those kids. Hey, I hope all 3 are wearing Scarlet in 3 years.
Jojo doesn’t get as much hype Bc he is only a 1x state champ but he’s shown so much improvement his sr year and wrestled and beat everyone... he has very high upside with the learning/improvement curve he’s on.
Gentleman, Jojo is a fantastic recruit and thrilled to get him. Not looking to turn this into a debate.
In 2018 NJ Championships, JoJo Aragona lost in the Semifinals 4-1 to... RU's Jake Benner. In the Quarterfinals, he beat RU commit Cody Harrison 3-1. How's that for one bracket with so many future RU guys, lol. PS- Quinn Kinner won that 138 bracket, think he redshirted at Ohio St this year.
IMO, JoJo took a big jump by winning some National Tournaments, which many times are more difficult to win than a NJ Championship.
I think Aragona will have to go thru Lipari and Firestone at 141, whereas Benner will be battling it out at 149 with Mike Van Brill.
