Wrestling LIVE - Rutgers vs. Cornell Updates

I know this is a down year but we are wrestling against Cornell's B squad and getting hammered. This youth movement people keep talking about doesn't mean anything. Besides Alvarez who is there to be excited about? Maybe Aguilar? The last few recruiting classes haven't panned out and it's starting to catch up to them. Not good at all and Goodale better start figuring it out soon. Ashnault and Suriano are long gone. Season tickets will disappear real fast if we keep putting this type of product on the mat

Settle down... This is a dual meet, not the end of the world.... This may not be Cornell "A" team.. But they have quality depth... Difference has been 3rd period wrestling... Need to finish matches... But that's what happens with a young lineup...

Thought RU would take this one, but can’t win them all ... need to win a few, get experience and avoid injuries.

Joe Grello out to take on Milik Dawkins. He almost immediately takes Dawkins down on the edge to take an early 2-0 lead.
 
Can we get in Turley... there is literally no upside with Donner.. hate to say that

Dawkins wisely chooses neutral to start the second period.

Nice to see Joe take care of business and get a win. He was tough on top.

Great performance by Janzer! Picks up a nice ranked win. He is wrestling great!
