Wrestling MATCH THREAD: Rutgers 🤼‍♂️ vs. Ohio State

[LETSGORU91]

He looks undersized at 184. I'd rather watch Turley try and lose, than watch Grello do absolutely nothing and lose.

BINGO!! Can't win doing nothing. Turley will inject some excitement into the lineup and give RU a chance at something in this weight class.

No and Goody said numerous times that he isn't the biggest fan of them anyway, so they aren't the final say.

Coach's decision based on hunches? Maybe loyalty to an upperclassman? Reminds me when I was a freshman in high school and consistently won wrestle off against a senior, only to be left out of the varsity lineup as a coach's decision. Wouldn't ya know it? The senior lost most matches and usually got pinned. I took over the spot half way through the season. I hope Turley does the same for the last half of Rutger's matches.

True but last year Malik was tiny he finally put on some size and is now a real 125.Look at his results this year major over Barnett a 7 point win over Cardiani and he just beat Aguilar.125 in the Big 10 if your off that's what's gonna happen bunch of top 25 guys who will beat each other up.Barnett pinned Schroder today

I suppose Aguilar could have put on some muscle and size during the off season too, right? The dominating effort from Malik this year compared to last year wasnt just because he put on some size.

What's going on with Aragona?

When the same question is asked several times without an answer, either no one knows or it's a big secret?

 

[RUMike]

Hopefully Aragona is soaking it all in as he trains with Seabass. He has three options - bide his time for another 1.5 years, bump up to 149 and attempt to dethrone MVB, or transfer. I would love to see him stay at it with Seasbass and then use his final three years at RU to be something special.

 

[wngarbarini]

I assume Jojo can’t beat Angelo or MVB

Yeah well the experts on here tell me that our coaches don't have any plans to prepare our wrestlers, including apparently weight management. Why the hell wasn't Turley eating more to bulk up to 184 for this match...

What are you talking about? If Turley would of bulked up to 184lbs for an exhibition it would take at least 2 weeks before he would be eligible to wrestle at 174lbs with the NCAA decent plan..Your obviously really clueless about weight management

Whatever youre ax to grind is with these coaches ..take it where someone cares what you think ...you bitch about something different every week ..get over yourself....there are rules and protocols when cutting or bulking up ..you obviously don’t know the difference ...to get a match with a bigger opponent in a nothing matters match just shows you the kid will do anything to get on the mat ..stop ripping him and coaches for it

Clearly, you 2 are clueless morons and completely missed my sarcasm, but @Jersey Boys , @Clearscreen25 and @ScarletGrapfan didn't. I have an axe to grind with the coaches and bitch about something every week???? LMAO. Show me where Harley Quinn. You're a 🤡 of epic proportions. Go back and read my posts, as I'm constantly defending our program and coaches, and shouting down the nonsense criticism from trolls, which now you appear to be.

Coaches don't like to use wrestle offs in college because they don't matter.Its about who can compete and win matches not who can beat a teammate.

Malik has been a high level wrestler his whole life.Did he get better yes but the reason he can now finish and turn guys is he's not walking around at 125 lbs anymore he got up to 135

 

[dollarbill]

Hopefully, we will see a lot of extra matches this weekend with the team at home and two opponents. I would think Aragona will see some action if it's available. $$$$

Haven’t seen Aragona’s name listed on any of the exebition matches

I'm not doubting Malik one bit. He has blown by Aguilar in one year and that is a cause for concern. If coaches dont want to use wrestle offs, that's up to them. I disagree that they dont matter though. You are telling me the ability to beat another person is not taken into account at all? I completely understand there are other factors which need to be considered, but if a wrestler is not showing the ability to compete on the mat and has done so for years, then why is that wrestler on the mat when there are others who are showing that ability to compete?

Duh! I'll ask for the (5th? 6th?) time: What's up with Aragona?

Let me put on my Ninja suit and find out tonight. Might have a little trouble getting it on. Since I’ve put on about 30 lbs after I last wore it to find out who the sh*tliner was.

Seriously dude it’s COVID everyone’s on lockdown. If @wngarbarini isn’t getting into practice no one’s getting into practice. Goodale will just give run of the mill answers. So I doubt anyone definitively knows.

With needing 4 matches this year and not knowing what covid will bring you've to get the starters matches.In a year with opens if Shawver was 11-1 and had a few good wins you probably would've seen him against Malik.But this year is different.Many on here are trying to spread rumors as to why people aren't performing well.We have a pandemic and some guys have had it and some have missed lots of time because of it.Aguilar probably wouldn't have wrestled the first few duals if it was a regular year but gotta get him the matches since he's still the best guy

I'm actually interested in hearing more about the ninja suit.

Spreading rumors? Do you know that the wrestlers have had Covid, or is that a rumor? Are you saying Aguilar had Covid?

 

[SCNJ]

What do you want from everyone? If you ask 6 times and no one answers, maybe no one knows?

 

[wngarbarini]

I know early on one or two tested positive so they had to go into the quarantine period. I won’t say which one as HIPA is their right to their own healthcare info

Guys on the team have had it and many have had to quarantine.

 

[LETSGORU91]

HIPAA regulations only apply to covered entities which are health plans, most healthcare providers and healthcare clearing houses. If you are within one of those three AND have access to the medical records, then the law applies to that entity or person within that entity. Hearing about or witnessing information outside those entities is not a breach of the law. Think when Tom Hanks had Covid. Medical personnel in the hospital could not disclose information about him, but his family and friends were free to do so, if they chose.

Guys on the team have had it and many have had to quarantine.

That is correct.

In today's press conference, Goodale said Aragona had health issues but will be available this weekend.

Thank you. I hope he isn't weakened from it.
