Well you keep mentioning Mays so thought you would know more on him.. what was his big board ranking coming out of hs?? I think he had .500 record at Rider and didn’t qualify for nationals.. so to me this would be his baseline expected performance wherever he transfers to… anything much better would be an outlier unless you saw something..
I've only mentioned him in the post you responded to and once before when it was announced that he was available, as follows: "After an unimpressive start, would he even be expecting money? Was he getting scholarship at Rider?"
Kanniard can look like an NCAA qualifier and win a match there one period, than the next you’re like, “what the fvck just happened”. It’s absolutely maddening to watch.
Didn’t Kanniard deal w/ injuries last season? Either way, he was able to beat Mays in a inj filled season.. Kanniard showed glimpse of potential his freshman year(went 5-1 in b10) so yeah I’ll go w/ a healthy Kanniard to have more upside then Mays.. even if Mays was somehow and upgrade.. it would be very marginally better .. so much for all the “loyalty” talk from some on the board.
Kanniard beat 2 back up wrestlers and starters from the 3 worst teams in the conference that year. He is 2-7 against big 10 opponents since with wins coming against Maryland and Purdue.
What was Mays best win last year?? What was his big board ranking coming out of hs.. he musta been really high since he didn’t really prove much last year and people here still want to pursue him.. we are really grasping at straws here.. lost to not fully healthy Kanniard last season, .500 record in weak division, didn’t qualify for nationals.. I’m failing to see this upgrade…
Counterpoint: Who is Kanniards best win in his entire NCAA career?
Fair enough, Kanniard’s best win might be over that Ohio state kid.. or maybe it could end up being over Mays lol.. as for who starts that’s debatable, anyways if he’s not much $$ sure why not.
Who keeps bringing up Mays? 🙄
Kannards best win is Gilcher from Indiana ….mays had a good start but hit a freshman wall and really struggled on the mat , but he has a much better gas tank and is already better on his feet than Kannard ( he should’ve redshirted but rider sucks and had no one else) , plus the black hole Rutgers has had at 165 for awhile now , y all are crazy for not wanting mays , he already has the neutral game, give him some time with Pritzlaff and the kid will definitely be an AA
Im not sure if he’s a future AA but I do agree his potential is higher than anyone presently at Rutgers in that 157/165 range
As long as this past season at rider didn’t tank his confidence, with sometime in a big ten room with real practice partners , I believe 1-2 years from now he could be a solid top 10-15 guy consistently ..plus he has a lot more exciting style than Kannard and whatevers left of O’Neil , you definitely won’t see mays just circling and taking half shots down 2 late ,for better or worse he ll go down swinging
Aren't you glad I kept bringing him up? 😊 Maybe he will be a good add if he does come. I hope they're being very careful with the money they do have.
Poz has been a favorite of mine. I hope the year off has done him more good than harm. I've been concerned since just after his match with Brooks. From afar, I hadn't seen either Poz or Soldano as small for the weight, but one of them will have to move to another weight, or we'll be without one of our best wrestlers. I don't know that Soldano could cut another ten pounds and remain healthy and strong. There were reports of Poz spending a lot of time in the weight room, which is good regardless of which weight he wrestles, but especially if he goes up to 197. If he does, I hope he can be competitive. I expect Packer will redshirt. All of this talk pretty much discounts Janzer's chances of holding the spot. We'll see.
We will see. You made a very good point w/ the money allocation so it will all depend.. I want to be on what PSU’s on though, in that he will def be an AA.. seen this too many times.. if he does come I’ll have no expectations and hope for the best. I do Gotta say I’m loving the off-season we are having so far.. gotta give Goodale n staff props for that.
Is Janzer still wrestling? For some reason i thought he graduated
He's been there five years, so likely graduated, but shows one year of eligibility remaining and is still on the roster, along with Boone and others who won't be there next season. The roster has rarely been a source of accuracy.
Didn't you claim to have put me on ignore? After all, you were encouraging others to do so. I won't be offended.
If Mays comes to Rutgers next year he will redshirt. The starter at 165 next year might be another portal transfer.
Janzer has another year of eligibility. I think its 50/50 right now if he returns.
Looks like Poz will move to 197 next year.
Poz looks good, he's around 212 now.
Yes, Poz is a good-looking guy. How well is he wrestling now? I wish him the best.
Yara was nice, Cannon would be great but Shane would be the Home Run. Weight notoriously bad for us and we all know his resume.
Michigan/PSU probably fav rn for Griffith.. he’s only going be one year and might go 174 as well.
Griffith would be an upgrade at 65 for PSU but it’s not like they need him there and they risk rocking the apple cart for a 1 year rental that wouldn’t change the outcome of their season
Agreed, they are winning regardless next year even if no points are scored at 65 for them.. Facundo also still has a RS to use I believe.. so theoretically it would work for them but yeah won’t change outcome of their season.
