No. 14 Rutgers Wrestling Heads to Detroit for 2022 NCAA Championships / Tournament Thread

[MS-RU]

O'Neill loses by fall in the 3rd

 

[LETSGORU91]

To put 174 in prospective regarding O’Neil vs Starocci. I believe one a Fresh the other a Soph. But one year can’t be huge.

Not in this case. Starocci was beast as a freshmen last year.

My point exactly!!!!

 

[RU Husky]

Different ball game in March.

That’s Rutgers,Henry

 

[MS-RU]

Poz gives up 2 almost immediately but is able to get a reversal and then ride of Cochran the rest of the period. Tied 2-2 and Poz has 36 seconds of ride time.

 

[MS-RU]

Poz trails 4-3 after 2.

 

[koleszar]

Pox taken down twice now down 4-3

 

[MS-RU]

Sigh, 0 offense for Poz once again and loses 7-3

 

[koleszar]

Pox loses 7-3 just doesn’t have the offense any longer

 

[ScottRU93]

what an awful first session. Poz is lost.

 

[bigmatt718]

Poz is cooked mentally. He needs to get to the offseason and regroup.

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak in the hole on mat 4

Jacob Cardenas, 22-6 (Cornell) vs Greg Bulsak, 22-6 (Rutgers)

 

[bigmatt718]

Pox loses 7-3 just doesn’t have the offense any longer

I'm wondering if we should've shut him down for the season. He's injured or inside his own head or something.

 

[Leonard23]

Anyone that thinks Poz is healthy, only needs to look at him wincing in almost every position... on bottom when his head/neck/back are lifted up, on top trying to lift/return, lack of sprawling and defending shots, stopping on contact when shooting...🤷🏻‍♂️

at this point it is what it is. let him finish out. he's there. Good thing is he still has 3 years of eligibility left. But something is not clicking for him that was last year and early this season, that's for sure.

there are several on here that are adamant he's not hurt and its all mental. I for one think he is just by appearance and actions but only he and the coaches really know.

It's all mental right now with him...

🤷‍♂️ Your right . His bread and butter was that duck under and reshots. Always moving.

🤷🏻‍♂️ As I posted, I heard otherwise, so I won't change my stance unless Poz told me otherwise (obviously, he's not obligated to share anything and I wouldn't ask).

You heard wrong

 

[Leonard23]

You heard wrong

You telling me that won't change anything 😂. I'm confident I didn't but have no problem if I'm proved wrong.

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak up now on mat 4

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak up 2-0 with 1:37 of RT after 1

 

[rugrapfan1]

You telling me that won't change anything 😂. I'm confident I didn't but have no problem if I'm proved wrong.

It is what it is. If he does not AA. It’s not the first RU wrestler to AA one year and not the next. 🥲 He still has remainder of the tournament and 3 years left. So unless he tells any one of us we will never know. Let’s let it go.

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak up 4-0 after 2

 

[koleszar]

Bulsak has some great defense

7-0 win

 

[MS-RU]

Great 7-0 win for Bulsak

 

[wngarbarini]

At least we have 2 left. Still ticked off at MVB for not wrestling smart

 

[Leonard23]

Bulsak with nice counters and a strong ride. Hope he starts to shoot more.

Hell with AA this year, I would love to see him shoot and score an offensive point. I think it's been about a month since he's scored offensively.

I hope your right. In my experience…having been in these shoes…I am not going to micro examine what’s happening. We can look at it this way…whatever the reason…let’s give the kid credit for still competing. That huge in my mind. Let’s go Poz!!!!

 

[koleszar]

Of course I get one day off a year to watch the tourney and our bathroom is being redone. My wife during the Bulsak match is asking me how shelves and pictures look to be hung by our contractor. Does she really think I give a sh*t if it's an inch too high or to the right?

I just yelled this match will be over in 58 secs. can you at least give me that? I got the stare of death but stood my ground.

It’s still a tough pill to swallow… cant believe some people were saying Poz should RS a year to avoid AB and be a national champ like it’s that ez.. hated the Cochran draw(so much for not ez to beat a wrestler 3x theory, guess means Desanto now has better chance winning then RBY beating him 6x in a row). It’s still not over maybe can win some matches backside n just RS n regroup next year.

 

[RobotHunter]

If Shawver wins his next match then he would get the loser between the 24th and 25th seed since they both moved on with upsets in first round.

You are so right, we're now doing bathroom #2 after this it was only supposed to be one. All I can do is shake my head and say to myself, "this is not the hill to die on".

 

[Jersey Boys]

Bulsak can beat Schultz… let’s get it done!!!

 

[LetsGoRUwrestling]

Everybody is a little banged up this time of year..Poz issue is his confidence right now..Hopefully, and I think he will get it together in the future..He's still only a Freshman

Koleszar...that a boy, give em hell! But I bet you won't see the bed for quite some time and will have a love affair with the couch for the next 3 weeks or so. Hath the rath of a woman!
