Nice. My wrestling practice ends at 7:30 so perhaps I can still catch it.
BTW... what is this I'm hearing that Jo Jo didn't make weight and that is why he is out?

if it’s true that’s all the reason we need to know the kid should have redshirted.
While that's incredibly disappointing, it's also 100x better than actual injury.
Agree and if true it has happened to some of the older wrestlers in the past as well. This is JoJo's first two day college competition and a learning experience on how to eat and hydrate enough to win on day 1 and make weight on day 2(always very hard for guys that are cutting..if this is what happened).

Don't wrestlers get a 1 lb cushion on Day 2? Like for example, if a wrestler at 125 weighs in at 126 on Day 2, he's still technically at weight?
Bottom line, we have growing pains with this group for sure. No doubt lots of Talent in this Freshman class but I would have like to seen All the Frosh redshirt including Alvarez, Aragona, Turley, along with Vulakh and Kanniard. Feel it would have really set us up for the next 4 years and with serviceable guys that could step in, ie, Lipari, MVB, Donner Firestone etc would have been a great year to grow. I get it, Aragona didn’t want to redshirt and Sammy is doing great but maybe could have done that much better. JMO

No what we have here is too many missed classes. I have no problem with the freshman going as there really isn't much else. Thus they have to be thrown into the fire immediately. We just need to dial back our expectations for Aragona and Turley for this year.

Donner and Pagano win 7th place, by Medical Forfeits. (A common thing in consolations).
Yes I do and still say good for us. A win is a win.
Great camera work by Flo. There's 30 secs I'll never see. 0-0 end of 1st for Aguilar.
Your #7 in country. Need to find a way to win and score. For as good as yesterday was for him today was just as bad. End of story
For those of you closer to this team then I. It looks like other then Alvarez we really under performed across the board. Is that correct? I know we are young at certain weights but so are other kids on other teams that are performing better. Any opinions out there in RU wrestling land?
Sammy wins 5-4!! Got the TD late in the 3rd to knock off another top 10 opponent!!
Phew he hung on to win. 5-4. Quite nervous at the end there. Kid had an awesome tournament.
Alvarez is your 133 Southern Scuffle Champion!!! We may have our first ever TF AA in RU history!!
If he wrestles like that in March, he’s an AA. Just gotta avoid the freshman brain farts
Sammy the Bull will be moving into the top 10 next rankings!!
He knocked off the #1 and #2 seeds along the way. What an impressive tournament for Sammy!
