No. 12 Rutgers Wrestling Set to Compete at the MatMen Open

[MS-RU]

White loses 2-0 to Heil. Not much action in neutral in this match.

He got rode out all 3rd period, but Heil is tough as they come as a 6th year, 4x NQ and R16 guy last year.

 

[MS-RU]

Desantis loses 6-2

 

[mikemessner]

O'Neill on deck mat 2

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak in the hole on mat 4 vs. Braxton Amos (Wisc)

 

[MS-RU]

O'Neill wins 4-3 dec over Kim to advance. I believe Kim is ranked in some polls so that's another nice win for Connor.

 

[MS-RU]

McDermott in the hole mat 2

 

[SCNJ]

Who’s the other freshmen u r referring to?

I actually forgot about Kyonte. I was talking about Peterson.

As a somewhat of a benchmark, and it really doesn’t mean anything now, but Peterson was the consensus #1 P4P wrestler in NJ following his junior year. #2 at the time was a senior named Poz and look how that’s turned out.

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak is a monster on top. Rides out Amos the whole period and picks up 4 points. Up 4-0 heading into the 3rd.

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak beats Amos 6-2. Great match.

Bulsak is a monster on top. Rides out Amos the whole period and picks up 4 points. Up 4-0 heading into the 3rd.

I think Bulsak ends up on the podium for us at Nationals. He's been an absolute monster. Wish we had him for more than 1 year.

 

[koleszar]

Boone looks completely gassed in the 2nd, I missed the 1st what happened?

Yup. Another year training with Poz, Martin, and Donny would absolutely put him in the NC hunt.

 

[ScottRU93]

Overall, not a good round for RU.

 

[koleszar]

Shawver loses in OT can’t get out then gives neutral, but only takes one shot and didn’t really push the action?

 

[MS-RU]

Oliveri and Shawver both lose in OT

 

[MS-RU]

White wins in OT

 

[koleszar]

White finally breaks the OT curse with the win

 

[mikemessner]

Overall, not a good round for RU.

What round are you talking about

 

[njsportsphan]

Oliveri lost to a GS that has a lot of Big10 matches under his belt. He looked great.

Shawver needs to show some urgency. He needs to build up his endurance. He's had like 6 matches this year where he just stopped wrestling in the 3rd. He's better than that.

Good win by White.

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Oliveri and Shawver both lose in OT

Thought Oliveri out wrestled Mattin for most of the match. Needs to learn to close it out. Good learning experience for him.

 

[ScottRU93]

What round are you talking about

Mike, you seem to have an issue with me. We can talk anytime. This past round.
Back to back losses by Shawver, Boone looked bad, Olivieri had a nice lead and lost late. If we want to be a top Tier B10 team need to do better. This was a watered down tournament and we had most of our starters.

with that said really like performances by Rivera, Bulsak, White, and great learning experience for Olivieri. ONeill got some great mat time.

 

[njsportsphan]

O'neil is getting bullied again by the high school kid. Hate to see him get owned like this.

 

[koleszar]

Just too easy to get to O'Neil's legs his reaction time just isn't there. Lost 14-6

 

[njsportsphan]

Just so easy to get to O'Neil's legs his reaction time just isn't there. Lost 14-6

I don't think I've seen him sprawl once.

Are there brackets for this tournament? I can't seem to find them.

Amos was a great win, kid was #1p4p recruit I believe… Bulsak got a huge test coming up in #2 pitt’s Bonnacarrsi

The #1 p4p wrestlers in NJ is a great article n benchmark.. I remember legit thinking Poz was going to be a in the aa mix right away.. Peterson ,also a very high recruit, but need to see him in action first.. not sure he will be poz like yet right away…hope so.
Watch out for Soldano when he gets on campus tho.. he’s going to be huge.. idk y but feel really confident in him.

I'm always available to talk.
We watched multiple rounds today. Not every round was bad.
Shawver did the semi slide, not good.
Boone will always look bad. He has a lazy wrestling style. I'm frustrated at Boone because he has the ability and knowledge to be a good HWT. Need to light a fire under that Iowa butt.
Olivieri, White, Rivera, Bulsak looked great all tournament.
DeSantis looks good at his new weight 149, young man works hard everyday at practice.
O'Neill and Turley had their moments. They will get better and hopefully be more consistent. O'Neill needs to fix his stance.
Kanniard, Clark and Britton are good hard working young men. Clark is still a freshman. Let's get back in the room and get to work. Season is just starting.
I hope Sammy is okay. If not can Garcia make 133

 

[rufeelinit]

Seemed like up until his last match, Donny might have lit a fire under O'Neills butt.

Soldano wrestles the best competition whenever he can. He'll be a great teammate and partner for Poz and company.

 

[koleszar]

Oliveri is dismantling the kid that hammered Alvarez.
Now 9~2

 

[koleszar]

Utter destruction of this kid by Olivieri. He really opened up this match.
16-3

 

[Jersey Boys]

SeaBass with the tech over CJ. Look out for Composto in the future. Just not ready for Rivera’s smoke.
