Let’s be honest though. He’s not beating Sasso. It’s 2 different levels of wrestler. Reality is he wrestled very hard and well. If he can keep this up he’s NCAA qualifier and possible Rd of 12 guy.
Wrestling MATCH THREAD: Rutgers 🤼♂️ vs. Ohio State
- Thread starter Lex Knapp
- Start date
125 - Another disappointment from Aguilar. Cant keep starting off flat with poor performances here. I’d argue we’d be live favorites to win the dual if he showed up. Seems like for the second time this year he hit a point and then quit the match.
133 - Alavarez looked exhausted. Hopefully it’s fatigue from injury and not from the weight cut. Good to see bonus points though.
141 - SeaBass with another good match vs a kid who was working hard
149 - Tough task for MVB but he looked great again. Nearly turned Sasso in the 3rd but couldn’t stick it. I like him at this weight class. Could be the senior that Goodale annually gets to make an AA run
157 - Kanniard improves off his last match and pulls off a big win. Hopefully he continues to get better.

Not if it’s factual. Ask around the team if you know anyone and you will get the real answers. Do you think he’s just regressed without any explanation? And it’s not so much the it smoking. It’s a combo of it and just not that into wrestling any more. Why was Glasgow in CA hanging out when the him. Think that’s a good influence. Add 2 and 2 together people.
Yes. 3yrs. in the program and looks worse now than when he 1st got here. Pull money and make his parents pay for college. The rest of the guys look really good so far. MVB is wrestling tough just running into the buzz saw of the B1G. Hope he keeps his head up cause come March he could possibly make a nice little run.
My nephew was very involved in high school wrestling for many years and knows RK and family. He has said from Day 1 that RK was going to be very good at RU.
I respect your passion but pulling money for not wrestling well is a terrible idea and not something any respected coach will do

I think MVB is actually gaining confidence, even in these losses. I really like what I am seeing from him.
Aguilar drives me nuts with the 50/50 positions after getting in on legs. He is always falling to a hip, and ends up in a scramble. I know how tough it is to finish a shot at this level, but your best course of action is to keep your hips underneath you, and your head high.

Both Singletary and Hoffman are listed. Hoffman wrestled both duals in OSU's tri last week
I’m pretty sure OSU is going to have us on criteria if it comes to it so we need:
-Donner and Grello to hold the opponents to a major and a decision.
-Poz to pull an upset
-Janzer to take care of business with a decision
-HWT to hold opponent to a decision.
Not out of the realm of possibility but a decent ask. But if Poz wants to be a podium guy this year, he has to keep it close here.

Understood. My point though is late last year and so far this year, he is a much different wrestler. His progression is commendable.
Then they have no money to pull in another 125lber. Partial scholarships aren't guaranteed, you can give him less to entice someone else if he continues on with this disappointing season. It's that or roll with Aguilar for another year and don't invite him back for a 5th.
Yay 165 the weight class that has been an enigma for the entire coaching staff. for 5yrs. now.
What about Shawver? We brought him in with a decent pedigree. Not a national champion caliber guy but he’s definitely talented.
Have you forgotten? "rated the No. 4 high school recruit at 120 pounds by Intermat "
Except one guy had his chance and is running with it. The other one at least deserves consideration if this lack of performance continues.
