I thought I read somewhere that one of their wrestlers committed to Virginia Tech. Not sure how legit that is.

Actually I think you’re right. Jack Bastarrika might have committed there, now that you mention.
Lot of Rutgers wrestlers at region 6 today. Spotted Rivera, Epperly, Messina, Benner, Odonnell, Desantis, Kannaird, Shawver, and even Alvarez was hanging with them in case anyone was concerned about his status.
Rivera was walking around with no limp. Kannaird’s face looks fine.

Casale pins in the second period with a cradle over a Bergen Catholic wrestler(Fricchione) who was ranked third in NJ. Really impressive.
Oliveri and Raimo were at Region 3 supporting the Hanover Park kids.
Fongaro wins a battle against the top seed from Bergen Catholic 3-2 in OT
Casale looks like he can easily fill out to Heavyweight and seems to have that skill set of the lighter more agile heavyweights
Hopefully we are all over Vincenzo LaValle. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him take 2nd this year behind Soldano and could definitely be a 2x or 3x champ by the time he’s done.
Chletsos wins his district with a 13-0 victory in the finals.
Another name we need to be on is Harvey Ludington. Won regions as a freshman at 175. That’s a big boy weight class. He’s behind some serious talent in Portella and Addison at his weight but I watched him wrestle all day today and that kid is going to be legit. Portella I would like as well, though he lost in SV to Addison today.
White was at Region 4 supporting South Plainfield.
Unpopular hot take, get rid of the stupid spotlight for the finals (and duals too). Hate it. Refs are bad enough that they don't need shadows and poor lighting to make things worse for them. Plus, it's brutal on the eyes.
Region 6 did finals, 3rd and 5th simultaneously and the entire day was done before 5pm, and that included a 2 hour intermission in between the blood round and the medal matches.
Hard to beat a guy 2x in a row when you are that close but fact other wrestler is ranked 2nd/3rd and Gayer is right there is promising.
That's dumb to do 1st, 3rd and 5th place matches simultaneously, at any level (looking at B1G too). Finals should be 1 mat everywhere. Region 4 was done by about 630 PM and that included 2 breaks totaling about an hour or 1:15.
Funny, just posted about him in other thread. He’s special. Will be at least a 2x er. I’ve watched him all season and really not challenged at all. Let’s see what happens at states but has potential to win it.
He doesnt even have a chance to break a sweat.
I sure hope he can fill out some. There are some very good wrestlers who plain evaporate in college because they are caught between 197 and the big boys.
Another prospect I hope they’re pushing hard is Lorenzo Norman, junior for Blair, won the 160 prep nationals.
Soldano wins Region 1 190lbs by fall in 22 seconds.
Chletsos wins his region and will go for a state title next weekend.
Chletsos won his first two matchups and is currently in the state semi-finals which will take place tonight.
Chletsos wins his semifinal matchup 5-2 and will wrestle Owen Reinsel for a state championship tomorrow!
Nice finish for him. I know he had some mixed performances earlier this year at national level tournaments, awesome to see a great rebound and win at the end of the year when it's important - can anyone break down who he beat/was at his weight in states and their ranks?
Awesome performance the last few weeks by Chletsos to win a PA state title. Congrats Brandan!
He hung tough at the end to secure the win.

Thanks to all you guys for the updates on Brandan and keeping an eye on our last incoming guy still standing right until the end. Go RU!
Heard he's old for his freshman year and won't be eligible to compete in NJSIAA his Senior year. Probably ends up at Blair or Wyoming Seminary. Still agree about him being a great prospect
According to Trackwrestling, Ludington has an October Bday....so while older for grade, will still be eligible to wrestle Senior year.
