All Time NJ Team per Flo

[SKWC]

Not much to disagree on. I would pick Mike Caruso ahead of Mills. Mike only lost once in college and that was when he bumped up a weight. He beat the same kid from Michigan in the NCAA finals three years in a row. Suriano was 2nd team at 133 and Ashnault honorable mention (3rd team) at 141. I would place Ashnault at second team over McKenna. What do you think?

Think they shoulda just done lineups from last 20 years only bc it’s hard to see footage from someone that wrestled in the 70s...and we really don’t know much about them besides their name and record...

Id go McKenna over Ash 41( he has h2h win over ash). If they both wrestled 149 tho I’d taken senior season Ash... he became a completely diff animal that year .

Sad to see not even 1 guy on the 1st team at RU

Pretty amazing list... the USA most decorated Wrestler of All-Time doesn't even make the 1st team!

It looks like the rankings are based on college records only. Rutgers does have one of our coaches on the team. As a college team Rutgers recently become relevant. The list better include Rutgers grads 10 years from now.

Nice guy but Sacchi running The State University program for so long hurt RU in these selections

Ashnault was honorable mention at 149 (he got listed twice)

Russell was a 2x champ and 3x AA at 141 so that spot is his. I question 149 but don't know the criteria they used. How do they have Caldwell ahead of Ashnault; is it because Caldwell wrestled that weight 3 seasons and Ashnault 1? Caldwell is a 2x AA and 1x champ, whereas Ashnault was a 4x AA and 1x champ. I'd put Ashnault first team at 149 or 2nd team at worst.
