Cleveland State Open

Looks like we have one guy wrestling at Cleveland State Open today.

Jordan Pagano is wrestling at 174 and is 1-0 with a pin in 2:30.

Wonder why only Pagano went out there. It would've been nice to have sent our backups and TF out there to wrestle unattached.

Pagano into the semi-finals with 2 pins and a 13-0 win.

BigMatt, I have thought for years that our back-ups and red-shirts don't wrestle enough.

That's the easiest and fastest way to get valuable experience.

Pagano with another pin to get to the finals. Unfortunately will need to be on his A+++++++ game in the finals as he will be wrestling Mark Hall.

Jordan made the pin pool about $3000 today.

Lost in the finals 11-3 to Hall.

Thanks for the updates. I wonder why he went there alone? Pretty good showing.

He went there alone because he was the only one who could make it with his schedule as the others had finals complications.

If that was the case should we expect to see our red shirts and backups at Wilkes Open on the 22nd?

If Rutgers does send a crew of guys to the Wilkes Open that could be very valuable. I just read on the Penn State wrestling forums that their fans are speculating that their school could send a crew there also since they were unable to travel to the Reno tournament this past weekend due to inclement weather.

 

[wngarbarini]

Yes we will send a bunch to Wilkes

Yes we will send a bunch to Wilkes

Is that still the plan? Registration says only taking 225 wrestlers and currently registration is closed with 253 wrestlers registered. Not one Rutgers kid registered.

I am sorry for not explaining but exams are from Dec 16-23 and the administration will not let us wrestle if they have exams during that period. Pagano was done so he could wrestle at Cleveland Open. We can't wrestle at Wilkes for the same reason.

That is also why we could not go to Reno
