Gross' best win is against #27 Matt Stencel, Central Michigan, while Colucci's is #32 Austin Meyers, West Virginia.
Someone will inevitably point out that Colucci has wins against #15 Heino and #41 Correnti, but both of those were MFF in the Wilkes Open.

Colucci had some very good training partners at Lehigh. (Wood, Rey)
I would think he has improved this past year.
In the video i watched, he seemed like he was fairly well built. Definitely a different type or wrestler than gross. My uneducated guess is he will be a slight upgrade from gross.I think he is a borderline NCAA tourney guy.
I am excited to see him wrestle and compete.

I like him as our heavyweight based solely on the fact that he takes shots and gets takedowns. Add to that pretty decent hips and some freestyle skills which makes him seem like an upgrade at HWT.
Gross beat Jennings from NW in the Big Ten tourney last year. That was his best win as far as I am concerned.
Yeah, that win is probably better. However, at the time, Jennings was still only 42 in Wrestlestat. Jennings now 22, but Gross lost to him in the dual this year.
Yeah. I just mean in my personal estimation. That was his biggest win. That was the win that made me think he could make some noise this year. Didn't work out that way though.
Good stop gap. Now we can keep Correnti at 197 and go all out for Fernandez of Voorhees next year. Also will allow us to redshirt Fernandez if we are fortunate enough to land him.
Incoming freshman Kyle Lightner, who was a NJ State champ at 195 2 years ago, and missed this season with a knee injury, is now up to 250 !
Wow! Didn't know that. We go from an ex football player away from wrestling for a number of years to some serious competition at Hwt.
Christian Colucci
Kyle Lightner
Dylan D'Amore
Alex Esposito
Ralph Normandia.
285 looks like Rutgers biggest, but, also weakest weight class.
Just need one to really step up their game.
I'm still hoping for a commitment from Ponderosa Colorado.
Cohlton Schultz is still wide open. Every college wrestling program in the country will offer him an opportunity to wrestle for them.
Christian Colucci Enrolls at Rutgers
"He's a really athletic heavyweight who understands positioning really well," said head coachScott Goodale. "He received really good training when he was at Lehigh. He'll be pushed by some of the guys we have, but this is a guy who can win at a really high level and score points at the national tournament."

Wow...if we land Schultz, all of a sudden a glaring weakness in the lineup becomes one of the deepest spots on the team.
