[MS-RU]

My god we are getting some very bad & and uninspiring performances from some of these young guys today.

 

[MS-RU]

O’Neill loses

Did he give up 2 stalling points as well? I walked away for a bit but it looked like he did.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Playing the edge.....Oneil got burnt...at least 1 stalling point i saw

 

[ScottRU93]

O’Neill loses

Sorry but for such a highly ranked kid he’s very disappointing. It’s not like he’s wrestling b10 opponents

 

[Clearscreen25]

Did he give up 2 stalling points as well? I walked away for a bit but it looked like he did.

At least 1. Could have been 2

 

[CollegeFBfan]

So Clark did lose.

 

[njsportsphan]

[Bobbynieds]

Didn't O'Neil lose to Kanniard in the State Finals 2 years ago?

 

[CollegeFBfan]

Didn't O'Neil lose to Kanniard in the State Finals 2 years ago?

Yes in his junior year, then win as senior.

 

[Clearscreen25]

Poz up big after 1

 

[Clearscreen25]

Poz wins

 

[Clearscreen25]

I think that is Epperly at 197 now

 

[Bobbynieds]

Esposito looking huge

 

[Clearscreen25]

Ru first period pin at 197.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Some great Training Partners for PJ Casale

 

[Clearscreen25]

RU wins at heavy to close out the match.

Bonus match now

 

[njsportsphan]

Is this Turley on the bonus match?

 

[Clearscreen25]

Is this Turley on the bonus match?

I think it was Britton. He won by fall in the first off a throw.

 

[bigmatt718]

Did the dual vs Chattanooga start yet?

 

[Bobbynieds]

yes, i believe
125 we won..dont know score

or that was an exhibition

 

[Clearscreen25]

Shawver wins first match vs TC

 

[Bobbynieds]

I have no idea what is going on...we wrestled on one mat..then moved to another

 

[Clearscreen25]

I have no idea what is going on...we wrestled on one mat..then moved to another

Yeah was about to ask if anyone knows what is going on now

 

[koleszar]

I have no idea what is going on...we wrestled on one mat..then moved to another

I’m completely confused. It’s like the match just ended for some reason

 

[Bobbynieds]

Everyone is watching the one mat.....like something special is happening...
Very confusing

 

[Bobbynieds]

Other RU SPorts Updates

RU Football winning 24-3 against Indiana (Probably the most uninspiring 21 point lead ever)
RU Basketball tied at 11 to MERRIMACK...... 7:50 left in 1st qtr

 

[Clearscreen25]

Maybe we are in a rain delay??

 

[Bobbynieds]

Looks wrestling starting

What do the parents say is their reasoning?

If my son had an opportunity to go Ivy, I'd encourage him to do it. If I had to pay for it, I'd encourage him to go Rutgers. Most kids from those wrestling clubs do not go Ivy, so my question remains: what do they say are the reasons they steer away from Rutgers?

👀 👇 The reality is that many of them still look down on Rutgers and push kids to the traditional powers, Ivies and even Lehigh still.

I hear Knox and McGowan already thinking UPenn. McGowan because of Ivy and Burroughs I’ve heard. A Perentin looking Princeton. The Ivys say they’re academic first but it’s BS. They find loopholes to break their own rules lower standards significantly for athletes and use Ivy label as recruiting tool. Now NIL going to swing it even further in their favor.

In NJ, most elite kids on path the Delbarton/Blair looking to cash wrestling in on Ivy education they would have no shot at otherwise. That’s why I’ve felt for while we need to build stronger pipeline into PA. The profile of kids there is more blue collar and hence more favorable to state university.

The question itself is wrong. Rutgers is an option for plenty of kids who go to those clubs. Many aren’t good enough to compete at B10 level. But a significant number or true elite in NJ go private from get go in high school ala Blair/Delbarton. And those kids have their eyes set on top academic colleges often private or Ivy. That’s the answer to your question.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Cetta at 141?

 

[wngarbarini]

Anything on UTC match

 

[CollegeFBfan]

Shawver win by FF, Alvarez 12-5 decision

 

[njsportsphan]

Cetta at 141?

If so, he looks excellent thus far.

 

[MS-RU]

125 would have been a good match against a ranked Gutierrez for Shawver

👀 👇 The reality is that many of them still look down on Rutgers and push kids to the traditional powers, Ivies and even Lehigh still.

Okay, but I was wondering what they would say is the reasoning. Not just that they look down on Rutgers but why. You cannot presume to know the answer.
