Match Thread: RU Wrestling at Minnesota, BTN TV, 3:15 pm, story & info:

[Jim_from_RU]

I think it's tough to sell right now on just pretty pictures, concrete and open walls. Once kids can walk inside, the OTC is more established and SKWC continues to get more funding we'll see an uptick. Need more AA's as well.

Well, those open walls will be complete in 7 months. It’s not like things are just starting. Hopefully, recruiting improves.

 

[koleszar]

Not a good start for JVB those Takedowns were way too easy.

 

[pish69]

What do you mean?

Meaning when Thorn was a frosh, many expected to him of being 4x AA with finalist potential. Now he gets majored by good guys and losses to non ranked guys

Maybe HEW

 

[belushijo]

Two take-downs in the first 30 seconds. Oooopph.

I see. Thanks for explaining. Thought you meant he was injured or something.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Yikes JVB...

 

[koleszar]

Taking top wasn't such a good decision. down 7-3.

 

[belushijo]

Not a good start for JVB those Takedowns were way too easy.

I'd really like to know how Glasgow looks against JVB in the room.

 

[wngarbarini]

Bleise is very good. Think he is a transfer from Northern Iowa

Reminds me of Zeke Moisy.. whom was a NCAA finalist as a fresh...

 

[KidDagger]

Coming into this year this was a toss up match.. JVB needs to win this for us to have any chance..

 

[MS-RU]

Doesn't look very good for JVB. No sense of urgency .

 

[belushijo]

Bleise is very good. Think he is a transfer from Northern Iowa

These are the types of guys he should at least go toe-to-toe with. Kid is ranked right outside the top 8 and he's controlling every aspect of the match so far.

 

[koleszar]

I have a theory on what needs to happen in order to improve recruiting immediately. But if I stated it here the RU faithful with rose colored glasses would shout it down like they have done to a few of us who have agreed. So I'll just leave it unsaid.

 

[rugrapfan1]

I love the compliments about Goody and the RU Wrestling program from BTN announcers. Great For program.

157 JVB loses a dec, RU trails 11-9

New coach? Nah....

Northern Illinois I believe.

 

[koleszar]

New coach? Nah....

Nope have no problem with Goodale. But one area of our lineup severely struggles for far too long now.

 

[R U Crazy]

Match has gone as expected.
Only semi toss-up was 157, but Bleise has been in better form this year.
Now is where we need to wrestle tough or RU will be blown out.

 

[koleszar]

157 JVB loses a dec, RU trails 11-9

What match did you watch it was 7-3.

Edit: MY Bad Abro my wife is being a pain in my ass right now and I'm not fully engaged.:)

We all know it's the heavies

 

[wngarbarini]

I knew it was an NI just not which. What was JVB score?

 

[belushijo]

What match did you watch it was 7-3.

Think he was giving the team score?

 

[nikoru09]

you would think after that meltdown at the ncaa',s vanbrill would have fire in his eyes...it looks like the he doesn't...i mean this kid is a fifth year senior that needs to show up for us to be a top ten team...unless he's hurt or is having personal problems ..this to me is a head scratcher

 

[belushijo]

Just hope to see Glasgow finish the match w/o having any set backs with the knee.

 

[nikoru09]

is it a shock to anyone that n.j's two top h.s wrestlers of all time...are at another level compared to the rest of our team...imagine having a team full of studs...penn st.comes to mind....our other guys have to wrestle above the norm for us to have a fighting chance.

 

[Abro1975]

Glasgow running out gas in mid first. Not surprising though

 

[nikoru09]

glasgow was lighting quick in h.s....looks slow to me

 

[belushijo]

Noticeable grimace on Glasgows face after that TD. Don't know why they keep throwing him out there when he clearly isn't 100%.

 

[nikoru09]

if hes lighter he must be quicker.and use to his advantage..im also tired of nagging injuries

 

[Abro1975]

Very disappointing. Guess it's a combo of injury and rust.

 

[MS-RU]

He is hurting

 

[mesa4234]

He’s trying out there but he can’t do anything with his right leg

 

[Abro1975]

He wrestles going bakwards

 

[nikoru09]

always something with ru

 

[rugrapfan1]

Agree!!! But I gotta give the kid credit for competing. Looks frustrated.

 

[josh1728]

Glasgow needs to get healthy and be at 157 as a soph. His right knee clearly an issue.

 

[nikoru09]

he kids giving it his all...just hope he heals up

 

[koleszar]

Everyone is going to attack the right knee. If he can't wrestle on it or fight off with it then don't wrestle him.
