Wrestling Aragona to transfer portal

Haha you're now the focus of Harley huh!? I actually think it's John Van brill. I'll put my money on it. Anything you say about Mike Van brill this one has a conniption fit. Or somebody super close to him.
Well I guess you lost your trailer park rent money ....gotta go into your ripple wine stash if you wanna make another bet
 
I hope so young man. You've got a lot of talent. Like you I was a state champion, and found myself with some pressures to perform at Rutgers. Unfortunately you were very hyped, and that often tends to be the Jersey RU wrestling fans saying " we got another one". Meaning another Ashnault. The pressures are tough and everybody handled them differently. I can't speak for others but I do apologize if I have been kind of hard on you. It comes from a good place if you know what I mean. I think a lot of us got frustrated with the fact that you were such a highly touted recruit and you saw limited time on the mat. People forget that you have outside circumstances that take into account your focus and possibly pressures that you can't deal with as a Young Man. Anyway JoJo we all wish you would stay, and gave it a second chance, but if your heart's not into it and you feel like you need another home, then all my best to you young man, and good luck!
Cmon Crackers you were never an NJSIAA Champ...Maybe if you were more honest more people would take you seriously

What year were you a state champ?

Absolutely was. All right enough of your moral High Ground speech. A couple people have figure me out already and have inbox me. You must be new to the game
 
What year were you a state champ?
Now that would narrow down who I am. Let's just say between the years of 1980 and 1995. Not try to jerk you around here I just like my anonymity. As stated some people figured me out inbox me. I really don't want to go down this road because the shaking hands keyboard Warriors are just dying to jump in with the insults. I will say this with all confidence and with brutal truth I was an nj state champ. That's it.

It would be nice if he were to come clean. I would take him at his word and tend to believe him but the other disproven claims he made add doubt. If Crackers is what he says, he should be proud of his record. I haven't had any issue with his posts until he gets involved in a childish pissing match with people like Harley. My joke about Harley being MVB's mom was reflecting on that suggestion made quite some time back. I thought it was funny. It's a shame when some people can't disagree without resorting to insults and name-calling. I've always seen that as a lack of maturity and intellectual capacity.

Mike: I don't know your role, involvement, or relationship with the program but it seems you have more information than most. As you might know from reading here, I have sensed an issue with JoJo and asked frequently what was going on. It had crossed over to being secretive. If we are not to know the status of wrestlers, then that should be explained. If you can do more, that would be great. I consider JoJo to be a tragic loss.

Crackers what weight
 
Okay well obviously you're not very mature because you have to resort to cheap insults on Topix that we have already explained or not the truth. I think we can kind of bury that right now. You sound like one of those guys that would start dating his best friend's girlfriend right after they broke up. Be a man. Have a civil conversation and stick to the topic. Getting back to Jojo. I don't think his heart was ever into it. I think he felt obligated with all the hype. I just don't know why Rutgers, the coaching staff, and he dragged it on for so long and wasted all that money. Most importantly the coaching staff. They shouldn't given him a year to have to think about it.
Lol..you calling me not very mature...that's a good one. You have cemented your immature status on here. I was only making fun of the numerous lies you chose to post here. At least learn how to lie better in order to seem credible. And you are so so wrong about dating a best friends girlfriend. Another swing and miss by you.
Crackers
Harley is not JVB. I can verify that
Oopss..another swing and miss by him..
It’s doesn’t have to be MVB ...you were the biggest loser who was relentless that day you challenged two parents to meet you in the parking lot while you were in your trailer in buttock USA...one was Jojo who you were so disrespectful towards ...you called the kid every name in the book that day ...you think kids and their parents don't see this stuff ...I told you that day that its a good thing you were pretending to be here because both those parents would have cleaned your clock because of the things you were saying about those two kids...you then were banned here and now back under a new name ...same guy just the same nobody you've always been ...I'm at every match ...come see me ...WNG knows who I am ...i am a big fan and I'll come to the defense of any kid you supposed wrestling know it alls choose to attack ...constructive criticism is one thing ...personal attacks about a kids effort or heart is just wrong considering most of us have no idea what it takes to wrestle at this level...enough said!
And he had the gall to call me immature for bringing up his lies. Thanks for bringing this up Harley.

He claims Bill knows the answer to his identity, but Bill has never confirmed that here.

I was like most fans and super excited when JoJo signed and rooting hard for him to do very well. BUT, it happens at every program where recruits ranked higher or as high as JoJo do not pan out. Cornell has had tons of higher ranked recruits or recruits ranked just as high as JoJo and nobody ever says "wow whats wrong with Cornell coaches etc."
It is more obvious here, because we do not get 1-2 kids ranked that high every year, Cornell does, Penn State does and they have plenty that never work out. Just the perils of D-1 wrestling.
 
It’s a far cry from some posting here how he was looking good, almost there, don’t knock him he’s injured, not wrestling bc just got back concussion protocol …. Sounds like bullish!t or posters don’t know what their talking abt.
You are way off base ..WNG definitely knows what he is talking about..he has his finger on the pulse of this team more then anyone here...what he said about Jojo was spot on at the time ..it was not bullshit nor was it something he knew nothing about ...the kid made his choice for whatever reason and that's his right ..there is no wrong or right here ...let's move on instead of playing the blame game .
 
Hey crackers. This is jojo, like I’ve stated before, the heart is still in it. Nothing was dragged on. There was covid last year with 4 matches. I got covid and missed two made weight for the Tri with Purdue and Minnesota, but my opponent got hurt. Then we went to big tens. Then this year I actually had a concussion and missed time. And only was back for 4 practices. I don’t understand how you cannot understand that I simply was not happy. And the talk about being way down in the depth chart. It was only me and MVB at 149. And I wasn’t able to wrestle off. I appreciate the concern but your opinion of there being no fire and my heart never being in it. Is dead wrong. I’m sorry. I will find a bee home and just prove that to ya! But have a great day!
You don't have to prove anything to anybody least of all this guy who has attacked you,denigrated your skills and your heart from day one to the point he challenged two parents who stood up for you ...you don't owe this guy anything ..go live your life and don't ever forget what you have accomplished which is miles more then most of the naysayers here who think they know it all..good luck !

Crackers were you a two time All American?
 
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

My guess is that’s what he does ..saw this coming awhile ago ..he won’t wrestle again !
When you have family issues and now a girlfriend who you live with It’s just not conducive to also have your heart in wrestling ...the portal thing I believe is a mirage ..he won’t wrestle again !
 
Pretty good detective work lol. The guy is a toothache
Well at least you guys now wanna attack me instead of the kids and coaches you regular question ...first you knock me for defending kids now you totally misread what I said ..that's your MO ...some of you gotta find something meaningful in your lives besides second guessing coaches and kids all the time ..attack away I can handle it .
 
It's pretty sad when a kid has to come on here and defend himself ...I've said many times that some of you should say to the kid and coaches to their face what you say about them here ..kudos to Jojo for standing up to the so called experts here.

My man, you come to this board with an agenda constantly. No one even ripped JoJo. This board has been overwhelmingly supportive of his decision. He came on here to clarify some comments allegedly made by his girlfriend, and just about everyone has accepted it, wished him the best, and moved on.

For some reason you’ve acted like this board is ripping the kid because it plays into your made up persona of being all these kids internet bodyguard. You constantly come on here and derail threads, and instigate and feed trolls, and it’s honestly just as annoying and equally as pathetic. I appreciate your support for the program but my god you and Crackers both need to grow up.
 
This thread is going to be fun…
I stand by my comment.

@JArgonon1 Jo Jo, go be you. The important thing is to live life to its fullest but always remember that 10-15 years from now you don’t want any regrets. You have a god given skill and reached a level most in this sport never attained. I didn’t have a tenth of your skill, but walked away my junior year and years later regretted it. Be good.

Today ..yes..of course it's been overwhelming but in the past..lol..not so much ...coaches get questioned. Kids effort or commitment gets questioned incessantly and the conspiracy theorist regarding Jojo and his whereabouts was ridiculous and and now the kid comes here to confront some of what's been said and ..that's shameful in my opinion ...if someone disagrees with your little fraternity they are labeled trolls ...the immaturity of some of you is laughable ...

Knowing things about the program doesn't give me the right to post on the forum. Keeping things secretive about the program are out of respect for the coaches and the wrestlers. Any issues that JoJo may have with his family are personal and shouldn't be a topic on this forum. JoJo is a great young man and I wish him the best. I enjoyed watching him train in practice and wrestle for RU.

Thank you, Mike, for your reply. I don't think I ask for personal information of that nature. My interest is in knowing what is going on with the program and the wrestlers relative to wrestling. When information is not made available and begins to look secretive, it invites speculation, which leads to some of the talk we've seen here. There must be some meaningful information that can be shared that fits between silence and revealing personal information. A wrestler who is suddenly missing from the line-up and/or discussion raises questions.

Perhaps it would be helpful if we (I) understood what is to be expected from this discussion forum. Several here might say cheerleading only, no criticism. Others might be open to critical assessment but we all should agree to keep that on a constructive level without personal attacks.

I have been looking to this group to provide information about the program and the wrestlers' progress. Without a discussion forum like this, there is little or no way for me to follow the team in any enthusiastic way. I could watch the few matches that are televised or read the little that gets published but beyond that, it would be hard to really feel connected. There seems a big disconnect when I hear talk about growing the fan base and then experience a lack of information. So, what can I reasonably expect from this forum?

You’ve been on the forum long enough to know what to expect. People share what they know, like, think, etc.

The sport as a whole needs to improve communication with the fan base, I agree. I don’t think things are being kept secret, I think the sport just sucks when it comes to communication.
 
Kid doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. Dad way off for posting anything negative about his son on a forum/internet. That being said hope he repairs the relationship with his dad, and gets on the right path emotionally. Sounds like wrestling a very small piece of the pie to getting on the right track - it's just the most public one. Good luck young man - do what you need to do to be Ok for YOU - don't worry about what other people think. Best of Luck!

Yup, I know what to expect here but I'd like to see more. I don't relate well to "the sport just sucks when it comes to communication" type acceptance of the status quo. I seek improvement over complacency.

What information are you looking for? I won't update the forum on injuries, that should come from Goodale during his podcast shows. I'm open to critical assessment but we should keep it to a constructive level without personal attacks.
