Rider will be closer than you think. Could be another Princeton type match
No. 18 Rutgers Wrestling Wraps Up Non-Conference Slate at Bloomsburg (Friday) and Rider (Sunday)
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
I don’t see any of our 165 guys beating Hunter Mays. That kid is a work horse.
White can beat Kinner at 149
174 can also be a tossup depeening on which Turley we see.
I agree it could be close but Rider would have to wrestle their absolute best and take 133, 149, 165, 174, 197.
I don’t see anyway we lose at 125, 141, 157, 184, or 285.
If that’s the 5-5 split we should be able to out-bonus them. I think we should be good enough to win 6-8 bouts and be fine. Don’t see us losing this dual.
Perhaps this was covered when the schedule came out but why would we be scheduling an away match at Bloomsburg? Goodale doing someone a favor?
Apparently, the answer was the B1G schedule comes out late? Whatever the fvck that means. As I'm still bewildered how 13 other schools could schedule decent home slates, but it affected Goodale and company differently. See you in two weeks for our 1st home meet at the RAC.
Lol we wrestled them in front of 20 people. I've seen South Jersey HS duals with at least 5x more people in the stands.
This is on Goodale. As Koleszar said, all the other Big Ten teams were able to schedule decent home meets. The lack of a competitive home schedule other than the required Big Ten matches, hurts recruiting, turns off some fans, and means less revenue for the program. I doubt Hobbs is happy with our home schedule.
Goodale said something about trying to schedule a bunch of top teams and getting turned down. Said he’s trying to get the Princeton/Rider/Rutgers matches to split so that each team has 1 home and 1 away match.
Give me a break this is all on Goodale. He tried to get all of the top teams here but they all said no.
At first thought I was thinking no way it’s a close match. So I went through the matchups giving all the toss ups to Rider. I have best case scenario for Rider they loss 21-17. Best case scenario for Rutgers is probably 27-12. I don’t think Rutgers sends out Janzer if the dual isn’t in jeopardy.
I see others saying 133 is a toss up I don’t see that, if Heilman is wrestling he wins that match. I am more concerned with Bell vs Sammy.
I will be sitting front row with my white long sleeve WrestleStat shirt, if you see me say hello.
I thought the Rider match was at 2 pm. Did it get moved up to noon?
Rider website still has it as a 2pm start as of this morning (Sunday)
All Rutgers home matches are either streamed or on TV. Either on the Big Ten Network or streamed on BigTen plus
Any of the guys who underestimate their opponents could end up in trouble. Sammy is anyone's guess. Kinner has the edge, but if White prevails, it will be the sign we've been looking for from him. Mays is tough but who will be facing him? I have no clue what to expect from Turley. Soldano will entertain us again. I don't expect Goodale will feed Janzer to Laird. Boone will have his way with Szuba, but O'Donnell would make for an interesting match.
A Szuba vs O'Donnell bout at 285lbs would be very exciting. They have a history and both wrestled in A-South division in Shore Conference. Their last meeting was the 2021 NJ State final where Szuba Headlocked O'Donnell in 1st period and scored fall..The week before O'Donnell beat him in Region 5-1. I don't think we'll see this match up because Boone needs to win as many D1 bouts as possible to boost winning %. Szuba is no slouch and can be dangerous
I think this dual meet will be very close...This is Riders Super Bowl

Not Deans best showing but was tough on top and got the win.
Klinsky is an underrated wrestler. Nearly a 2x state champ
Nice takedown by Britton to immediately start the 3rd! Was tough on tough and then got another late TD to beat Bell 7-4! Great wrestling by him.
If you’re Rider you needed that win with Sammy MIA. Britton gassed him out and kept the pressure. Great win.
Just noticed that Bell was ranked #29 by Intermat so that’s a huge ranked win for Britton.
11-2 MD for White. In control the whole match with over 3 mins of riding time.
Clark squeaks out a win but did not look good against a below average opponent. No offense on his feet once again but rode him out all 3rd period to secure the win.
