No. 14 Rutgers Wrestling Heads to Detroit for 2022 NCAA Championships / Tournament Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
No he doesn't... He was hurt middle of season... But is as healthy as anyone else who wrestles D1 level... Huge difference in this match was that Poz was anticipating moves instead of reacting to them

Don’t know why everyone is so defensive about this Poz thing. He’s physically not moving the same way as he did at the beginning of the season. If you want to call it an injury, or burnout, whatever but there is something physically wrong. There could be and there probably is a mental component as well but it’s really weird to me how many people have defiantly said there’s nothing wrong. That almost makes me more inclined to believe there is something wrong.
It's mental... Remember last year, he didn't experience the grind of a B1G season... Really hoping this win can be a springboard for him to make a run...
I noticed a lot of guys that did really well in last year’s shortened year aren’t doing as well this year so it’s not just Poz..
NCAA Wrestling Championships Session II Recap: Rivera Advances to Quarterfinals - Rutgers University Athletics
DETROIT – No. 3 seed Sebastian Rivera (141) won a wild second-round matchup against three-time All-American Chad Red Jr. (Nebraska) to advance to the quarterfinals,

Thank you. Looks like Shawver has a good backside draw/position, he has a reasonable path to and in blood round, the rest (133, 149, 184, 197) have a typical (but doable) very hard path. Like Seb path also to finals. For the most part, we are where expected after day one, one in Championship bracket and and five on backside needing 3 Friday wins to AA. Huge day Friday.NCAA Wrestling Championships Session II Recap: Rivera Advances to Quarterfinals - Rutgers University Athletics
DETROIT – No. 3 seed Sebastian Rivera (141) won a wild second-round matchup against three-time All-American Chad Red Jr. (Nebraska) to advance to the quarterfinals,
Find myself thinking along similar lines. Entirely possible, and I would say probable he's not 100% physically (as are lot of kids at this point in the season) which could be what is causing some of these mental obstacles/doubts/hiccups various posters have spoken about. End of the day, at 30 thousand feet, only thing that matters is we're all hoping whatever the issue(s) maybe be, he works through them and gets back to peak form. Safe to assume that is one thing we all agree on.
I think Shawver making blood round is decent chance. He has 25 seed(beat mckee), then Noto(beat Hindelbrand), then if make bloodround will likely be vs 11 seed Kaylor(took out Barnett)… call me crazy but I think Shawver got a swinger’s chance the bracket broke out very well imo

It's the correct call. The problem I have with it is that it isn't called that way consistently, all season long. Refs give the action call way too much during the season, then make the correct call in the post-season.
On a side note, I'm here in England and what a dump this place has turned into. Apparently they're supposed to be a covid surge here but I don't see it. London is starting to look like skid row in California or Philadelphia's Kensington avenue.
Also, does anyone think O'Neill can drop to 165 next year? he might be better suited at that lower weight.
Unfortunately most big cities here and around the world have become dumps do to various reasons but we wont get into that here.
I believe O Neil had a problem cutting to 165 his first season here...But that could have been turley or both
Yeah that's why I mentioned it on a side note. We really don't need to get into it. Just a little FYI in case anybody wants to travel. In 2 days I'm heading to Ireland, and I'm excited about that. I've spoken to a lot of the common folk here in England and they really don't like Joe Biden. They said our government is reminiscent of theirs. Okay let's get back to wrestling. Let's see what our boys can do. I'm real optimistic about Poz I think he's going to place. People will argue with me but I know knee injuries all too well and his left knee is definitely bothering him. I saw a buckle at least two or three times and I can see that he's trying to shift his knee joints when he's walking. Definitely hurt. Yes there is an emotional component but I think the injury has perpetuated it
Shawver will be on deck Mat 7
Rivera will be in the hole mat 3
Starting at 11

Why do you keep insisting he is hurt when guys around the team and others have told you he is not ..with that premise then when anyone wins one year then loses a lot the next then you feel they are hurt ,,a couple explanations have already been given yet you keep saying he is hurt ..if he was hurt he would not be out there ..he looked good to me in his second match ..the facial expressions were normal ...stop with the injury excuse when he loses a match for God’s sake ..he is not injured ...at lest not to the point that that’s why he is losing ..
Shawver, 5-2 with riding time. 1 or 2 more years he'll be an all american, no doubt.
I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to you because you're always so cordial, but this will be my last response on it. You and others aren't the only ones that know people around the program or in the wrestling community so drop it already and move on. Sheesh.
Keep the updates coming, stuck on the job site. I told my guys don’t you know it’s NCAA tourney time, why the hell am I here?
Nice win for Shawver but the last 10 seconds or so were very odd lol
If you read correctly I didn’t say he’s hurt. I said there’s something physical going on. Whether or not it’s just he’s exhausted could be a factor, but he physically does not look the same. It’s not a change in strategy as he’s still being somewhat aggressive. He just can’t do what he was doing consistently last year and you can visibly see it.
