Wrestling MATCHDAY THREAD: No. 13 Rutgers Wrestling vs. No. 11 Michigan
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
no reversal for saldano. this ref blows
saldano needs to take a year off and go to 174.
our zero offense strategy is an odd concept.
I don’t think it matters what weight you wrestle if your offensive game plan is pull opponent on top and try to flip my hips. It will work 1/10 times. But very rarely on a good wrestler

Undersized Soldano once again dominated by a bigger stronger 184 pounder of similar ability. Rinse and repeat,
we just got outwrestled today by Michigan which should never happen in college get outwrestled by any team
generally good commentary today, but "poznoski"? do your homework on names!!
He’s the same wrestler as last year. That’s the problem. People were surprised by the trick. Now they know it. And he hasn’t gotten better or added any muscle or skills. So worse result this year
Davison looks like he's distance himself from Yara these two were neck and neck. Our coaching is not doing a good job here.
this re-exposes some serious issues. way too many weak weight classes. we could have won this or been close until 285. i know transfers are part of the game now, but without them we are in serious trouble. Our 90 mile radius recruiting range to new brunswick is #2/3 in nation.
Huh? That's disingenuous. Davison is a 2x AA (5th in 23 and 6th in 22) already, whereas Yara hasn't been an AA.
Soldano I believe is not undersized. He has one move that’s extremely dangerous when he goes to his back. He is a tremendous talent. The coaches need to develop him. His move was great in HS…not going to work in college. Especially when other coaches see him and prepare their wrestlers. JMO.
Try digging into their history before being confused. Yara lost to him 3-2 in SV at NCAA's in the blood round and by 1 pt. their previous match before that. Today, at no point was Yara close to scoring.

How about "The Poz!!"??
He is undersized and it's catching up to him. This weekend put an exclamation point on it.
If not undersized than why does he look tiny next to any top 20 184 pounder? He also seems to be weaker than most of them.
Soldano definitely looks under sized. However, he also doesn't look very good.
You're reaching. Just because they wrestle close matches doesn't mean anything. 2xAA.

After today's performance, I think Gayer deserves more reps at 165. Kid stood tough.
No just has a hs move that does not work in college. Especially when he has been scouted.
He got dominated again today by a 15th ranked wrestler. Friday it was by the 19th ranked wrestler and was easily handled again. His takedown defense has nothing to do with his high school move. Neither does his abilities when on bottom. You are correct, his offensive skillset at this time is not effective at this level, but it is magnified by the size mismatch.
Rutgers wrestling loses all the close ones in defeat to short handed Michigan
Close losses in the first three bouts led to Rutgers being defeated at Michigan for its first loss in a Big Ten Conference match this season

You don't know much about college wrestling, do you?
Poz looked sluggish a couple years ago after a good freshman year as well. Soldano probably needs a redshirt year to either cut to 174 or be a stronger 184
I'm just a long time fan, and a lot of you guys know a hell of a lot more about the ins and outs of wrestling than I do, but I knew enough to realize that today was going to be our first real test. We now have a pretty good idea where we really stand going into the three toughest duals of the season. I'm afraid it isn't going to be pretty, I hope I'm wrong. Go RU!
