any chance DelVecchio can drop a wt class
- Thread starter coachkos
- Start date
I am wondering the same thing. McCabe is who he is at this point, a lightweight who will win the matches he is supposed to at times, and frustrate the hell out of you at others. A 5th year senior shouldn't lose to a freshman.
I saw DelVec in wrestling matches several times, and he's got no fat to lose... Depth is good at 133lbs - and it'll keep the wrestlers fresh.
McCabe had a bad loss against that princeton dude, but I think he'll learn from it like Ash will and make him into a better wrestler at the end.

Wasn't taken a shot a Del or Rutgers, just saying that those programs have a way of convincing their wrestlers to drop even if it is not the healthiest for the wrestler.
lots of speculation about Ohio State and Cornell having wrestlers cut below their "ideal" weight as well.
I personally hate weight cutting and am not a fan of seeing college kids do it, but sometimes it's the difference between an NQ and an AA. other times it leaves a guy to depleted to be effective. I think it's better to have perhaps not cut enough than to worry that you cut too much. but I've also never been a D1 coach or athlete.
133 not settled yet-I can see Delv getting the slot back. 1-0 loss @ESU will be meaningless come Midlands. Why would a wrestler make the cut if he was @UI,PSU,OSU but not if he's @RU?? Silly statement.
Losing to Agaisse not that bad of a loss.McCabe pushed the match & was in on shot a few times but couldnt finish, but Agaisse had good defense. Remember Agaisse wrestled Suriano tough last year
Quickness and strength.... is it a zero sum game ? The more weight you lose does the quickness gain proportionately ? Then do you equally lose strength ? I know, good weight vs bad weight. Seems it's an age old argument.
The one thing I think we can all agree upon is the career long struggles that almost all wrestlers go through putting not only a physical toll on their daily lives but also a mental one. Some of these guys have been stressing over weight since they were little kids in midget programs. For some thats over 10 years of always worrying about what they are eating.
I couldn't even imagine. Hats off to All Wrestlers for sacrificing so much.

McCabe lost because he couldn't finish TDs which is a common problem for him over the years.
My close friend went to Yale. His roommate was a wrestler at Yale until the program got terminated. His friend, who was 5'7" until his sophomore year, grew to 6'2" when the wrestling program was no longer.
Yes, wrestling is a tough, tough sport, and after all the hard work, not eating what everyone else is eating can be very stressful.

I gained about 2 inches in height and 40 pounds of girth after my wrestling career was over. It wasn't the initial cut that was bad for me, but maintaining throughout the season that was the killer. I don't think we'll see Delvecchio at 125, that cut didn't seem to work so well for him a few years ago.
