Turley loses to Keckeisen 14-1. Keckeisen ranked #1 at 182 and was 3rd in Junior National Freestyle last season.
 
Caffrey (Mich State) vs Foca on-deck mat 1...should be interesting

Keckeisen looked real good
 
Foca with a big win 8-8 on criteria against Caffrey from Mich State.
Caffrey was a blood round NCAA Qualifier last year.
 
DeLuca lost his consi match. Not exactly sure what happened. It was tied at 10 and I think he got pinned, but there was some confusion at the end. DeLuca looked surprised when they stopped the match and raised his opponent's hand. I am not familiar with Greco-Roman rules and scoring.
 
Lightner wins 7-4 against Blair Senior O Trephan
He was up 7-0 and he got sloppy on the edge to make it 7-2
From there it looked like he tired and was content holding on for the W
He is in semi finals

Flo said DeLuca was disqualified tied at 10. No idea why and I watched the match.
 
Someone posted on another forum that Lightner is not wrestling for RU (He is wearing a Sunkist Jersey).....I have not heard this before. DOes anyone have any other info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

SKWC and Sunkist Wrestling club have the same initials. The guy who wrote that on FB hates RU, but he is usually in the loop being a moderator for that forum.

RU roster still has Lightner on it, and they are usually very fast removing a name when a player or wrestler is no longer on the official roster:

Vito Arujau is impressive.
Gave Dayton Fix a heck of a match in Seniors and walked through Junior Bracket.
Will be a good Best of 3 in the WTT Finals tomorrow.
 
"Lightner is wrestling for Scarlet Knight Wrestling Club. He was just cornered by Leonardis and Goodale wearing a SKWC singlet. The tournament made a mistake with SKWC and thought he was with Sunkist Kids Wrestling Club"

Word gets around fast, lol

PS- Lightner is wrestling here at 79KG, which is approx. 174 pounds. He wrestled 182 in HS.
 
Grittith very impressive as well. He looks like a potential 4x all american for Stanford.
 
Going to be a hard watch tomorrow.
Cadet WTT with 2 RU wrestlers or
Senior Freestyle (Is AA registered?)
 
Abro… put down the Manhattan... [roll][roll][roll]


OK ok , 79 kg, lol. The RU haters on the FB NJ Wrestling forum got me fired up. They are knowledgeable fans which makes it even worse, for some reason 40 years ago, they became Lehigh ,Penn St, Cornell, Iowa fans, and hate to this day that RU has now come full circle, not only joined the Big10 but is recruiting like hell, has National Champs, and will be a terrific team for many years . They hate New Brunswick, they hate the diversity that RU embraces, they are jealous, but they know RU is on the rise, and they take subtle shots at us.

I'm on the watch! I challenge and retort everything they post. I have spears and shields ! And I have the support of many RU fans when I openly call them out on their bullcrap.
Things have changed !! RU Wrestling is more than relevant now, RU Wrestling here to stay !

Why no NS at WTT..,after he killed Colon I thought he may give it a try. Only would make him better.
I wouldn't say he killed Colon.They both looked like they where struggling with each others strength..more Colon than Suriano( which makes me wonder how strong Suriano really is).Colon was tiring and looked over at the clock and Suriano capitalized on it.From that point, it looked pretty even.Suriano must be a horse,because Colon is brutally "of the hook" strong.He looked like he was fighting off 10 men against Nicky Balboa.
 
For what it’s worth Lightner weighed in at 206 today. Like others said he will be competing for the 197 spot this year.
Wng,who do you see manning the 197 and heavyweight spots? I think Colucci( although I may eat road kill for saying this)will come back bigger,stronger and more confident his Senior year.He hung in there with the lower half of the top 10 guys.He is a total cerebal wrestler. Has all the tools to be an AA,but lacks that killer instinct, which puts him on the lower half. Correnti is a mess.One day he is taking it to a guy like Brucki,the next he is loosing to a Mich. State backup. He is actually the one guy I want to see have a break out year.He is without a doubt the least cautious wrestler on the team,which makes him fun and frustrating to watch every week. Lightner..not sold on this guy.Seems to be just ho-humming his way through his RU career.Janzer has got all the tool,but didn't seem very savoy or disciplined.He has one gear..move forward,which made him predictable,ala getting taken down alot.If Janzer becomes a threat from different angles,he could be lethal.

Isn't Lightner a redshirt freshman?
 
Lightner has not wrestled a match for RU so it is a little early to be ho-humming his way through his career.

I do like Correnti and he is fun to watch. I wonder who will win the 97 spot and hold it down until Ferrari comes :)

Curious who will be redshirting next year. It may come down to who is healthy.

Wrestling (and all sports really) needs a redshirt rule like football. Let kids wrestle in 2-3 matches max before it's considered a burned redshirt. Lineups and rosters are too small when the injury bug hits.
