Wow didn’t realize Penn was this good this year.. they are favored in 4 matches..5 if Peterson doesn’t go… and 184 is basically a coinflip..

Wrestlestat algorithm gives Penn a 16-15 win with a 5-5 bout split. This includes #20 Max Gallagher beating #7 Dean Peterson and #39 Max Hale over #27 SCW. Also, #14 Joey Olivieri over #11 CJ Composto.

I see Rutgers winning 125, 133, 141, 165, 184, 197, and HWT, assuming all of our starters go. Let's say then 24-9 RU win.

125- Peterson decision
133- Shawver decision (Miller from Blair is solid)
141- Composto decision (Olivieri can win this one but he couldn’t generate offense on his feet in the last match in the SV loss)
149- Wasileski decision (Another winnable match, but Clark had a tough time in scrambles & defending his legs from neutral)
157- Toss up. Swisher from Penn is good but beatable plus I imagine there is some PA familiarity. Edge probably to Swisher due to extra year in college.
165- Barbosa decision if he wrestles
174- Incontrera decision (Big strong kid & bad matchup for Turley; (hope Turley throws him on his back and holds on for the win)
184- SCW Decision SCW hasn’t looked great the last few matches, sloppy on his feet, but he needs to win this toss up
197- Poz bonus
285 Yara- Need bonus

If RU wrestles like they did against OSU & Illinois RU wins.

I'd be surprised if Barbosa goes as that would burn his redshirt.

I'd be surprised if Barbosa goes as that would burn his redshirt.

If he was unattached at Midlands he still has 1 date remaining. The odd thing is that not 1 wrestler in the whole tournament at Midlands is listed unattached on the track brackets. Not sure what's with that but some guys were definitely unattached. That could be a problem for some down the road since the OPC on track is the where the official results are entered

If either Peterson or Shawver loses, I think Barbosa has to go if you're right about his RS eligibility. Shawver should have the tougher match of the two.

 

[mandfense]

Rutgers is a 6.5 point favorite on DraftKings. Seems high since this should be close.

 

[west2east]

If either Peterson or Shawver loses, I think Barbosa has to go if you're right about his RS eligibility. Shawver should have the tougher match of the two.

Trying to figure out now if he was unattached or not . Barbosa is listed in the probables which makes me think maybe he was unattached at Midlands. White will beat the Penn kid he's 6-10 on the year

 

[west2east]

Midlands doesn't allow unattached guys anymore. So Barbosa is out of dates. If he goes tonight his RS will be pulled. I think we see White

 

[Bobbynieds]

unless white is hurt, i agree with west2east......no need pulling shirt.

 

[jerzey devil]

Looks like White/Ford at 165 and Casale only guy listed at 197

Senior night. Don’t be surprised if guys like Cetta or DeSantis draw in. Not sure who weighed in.

This could be a tight match.. we need to send the best/healthy guy out…

 

[ScottRU93]

Peterson is completely underwhelming. No chance at AA. Has no desire to compete offensively. Its sad.

Just sits back and is satisfied with 1 score matches which is a ridiculous strategy.

 

[MS-RU]

What a poor decision by Dean at the end there.. he has way too many WTF loses when he just stops wrestling offensively. That could also be a very critical match that determines the dual unfortunately.

 

[njsportsphan]

Dean should have majored that kid. He really needs to wrestle more aggressively. Very bad loss.

 

[ScottRU93]

Shawver is really not good on bottom. Really needs to figure it out.

Team looks weak and out of gas.

 

[Craigmack61]

The Penn guys want this more

 

[koleszar]

Some of the most passive end of match wrestling I've ever seen.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Shawver did win......

 

[ScottRU93]

Shawver did win......

Barely. Completely gassed. Multiple stalls. Couldn’t get out from bottom. B10 champ barely gets by #31

 

[SCNJ]

Peterson was the better wrestler the whole way. Split second away from a take down at the end of the 2nd and then takes a shot for no reason late when a stall point wouldn’t have hurt him. Poor awareness.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Wrestlestat was right with their pick at 125.

Miller is better than that #31 ranking. Beat Shawver a couple years ago.

 

[ScottRU93]

2021. Thats 4 yrs ago. Shawver should not be that close with him.

 

[SCNJ]

You’re right. Only one them has improved over those 4 years.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

You’re right. Only one them has improved over those 4 years.

He's right, Miller improved to number 31 🙄

 

[SCNJ]

Composto is good man. Shame he missed his senior year of high school because he could have been a state champ. The one year Olivieri didn’t win a state title, the top 4 at his weight was Sammy Alvarez, Robby Howard, CJ Composto, and Joey Olivieri. Loaded bracket.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

SV OT, Does anyone wonder why I cringe when they go to OT?

 

[koleszar]

We look horrible. Going into B1G's on a down note. Shot our load against Illinois.

 

[rpiseman]

It always seems like our kids don’t have the gas tank they need to go hard for 7 mins…or more.

Feels like other teams are always in better shape.

 

[ScottRU93]

You’re right. Only one them has improved over those 4 years.

Your argument is weak but you are always right so no debating with you. Olivieri wipes Composto in HS but look now. I watched Dylan Cedeno romp Composto in HS.

Miller is not what he was coming out of HS

Check out SCNJ post in #11 thread. I think he predicted our WTF night.

There's always an excuse.

Better shape and stronger. This is not a good performance for a home meet. We look gassed, less aggressive, and weaker
