No. 22 Rutgers Wrestling Set for 2023 Big Ten Championships
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Orndorff (OSU). Boone was winning 4-3 but got hurt and gave up the reversal but other than that he was controlling the match.
That was quite a bit of blood on the mat, I think he broke his friggin nose as well.
Tough day but Peterson and Heilman place, 7/8th. Clark battled and wrestled Lewan tough as heck. Turley - that was the best match i have seen him wrestle since he AA-ed.(hope he sneaks into NCAA bc he is rounding into form). BS could possibly place 3/4 and Boone was in position to win that match Awful start but made some hay in the conseys

Turley needs to beat Washington(Indiana) who he lost to 14-5 in the dual or he's staying home. 174 only has 7 allocations and he doesn't have the record for an at-large
It's typical of how feedback is received here by some. You know that as well as I do.
Turley needs to revert to 2021 Turley when he teched Washington in the NCAA wrestle backs!!
He got a bye in the 9th place bracket and will face Rooks next
Almost spoke too soon… he has a very difficult time closing out matches.
He was running away with this match and then gave up backs in neutral danger, gets stuck on bottom almost all 3rd, gives up 4 backs, but thankfully got the reversal to seal it.
Jesus, Nebraska just went 5 for 5 in the Semis. I can only dream of rooting for a team like them one day. Here I am rooting for 1/2 our team in 9th and 11th placed matches.
Yup, should have waited. But that's exactly what I talked about earlier. Kanniard has these spurts where he can look really good and other times not as much. Just needs to figure out how to put together a full friggen match. Hope he wrestles back well to 9th.
I really don’t care what you think
Of my statement. Those who know me know what RU wrestling is I my families blood. LMFAO!!!
Still always seems to have a WTF moment a match. And I really like him. Thought he would be a stud for us and always liked his Motor
Feedback? This is a supposed ex-wrestler who's seat is still warm and he's trashing the program and fans he jerked around? Pretty classless. I'm with Mr. P. on this. People need to learn to shut their traps sometimes.
Seems about right for this years squad based on their performance thus far. Let's hope that at least one of the guys going to nationals can find a way to obtain AA status. I don't think we can reasonably expect more than that.

after an up and down session on the mat and off (on this board), the article title made me laugh...as it reads, a reader would think we have 14 wrestlers. Should read: 4 punch ncaa tickets, 6 still alive for automatic bids.B1G Championships Session II: Four Punch NCAA Tickets, 10 Alive for Automatic Bids

I said last night I think there are 4 or 5 guys who can do it. Obviously they all won’t and the multi AA streak were on is in serious jeopardy, but if I told you any one of Peterson, Heilman, Olivieri, Soldano, or Boone will AA would you be stunned?
All it takes is a friendly draw where some non big 10 guys get over seeded and the wrestleback matchups play in favor. All 5 of these guys have the talent to do it.
I will always cheer for our guys and want the best for them. Yes, I have contributed to the SKWC and Rutgers wrestling on the annual day of giving. I don't have big bucks. But, I give.
I don't believe the issue is money. I checked out the other clubs and with the exception of Penn State, Iowa, Iowa State, and Michigan we are at the top of the pack.
Schools like Nebraska, NC State and Missouri make the top 10 and top 5 with less money and without a fertile recruiting base,
Two of Nebraska's best kids live within a 45 minute drive of our campus. NC State has starters from Conn., Penna (3), Nebraska, Michigan, and their heavyweight went to Blair Academy. Missouri has kids from Illinois, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Ohio. Yes we have starters from other states. But, how successful have they been? Our only out of state All Americans have been Bulsak (8th) and Turley (8th).
I believe the coaches are good people and try really hard. We have landed big name recruits. Many of them have not lived up to their clippings. I think the issue may be recruiting the right type of kid and developing more of them. We seem to recruit a number of high ranked kids that have known concerns. I hope that the fact that we have not seen Casale at all this year doesn't related to off the mat issues. Lehigh pulled his scholarship and rumor has it that he was asked to leave Delbarton. We have developed some unexpected All Americans (Perrotti twice 8th and Theobold 7th)) but not at the level our competitors have.
For many reasons, I don't think the issue is money.

Oliveri wins 2-1. No offense in this one but Joey rode Rooks outs the majority of the 2nd period and earned a riding time point.
If Oliveri wins his next match against Kal Miller (UMD), who he beat during the dual 2-1, he will finish 9th and earn an NCAA tournament bid
Can anyone gimme a quick update on Clark and how they both scored? Just logged in to see the matches.
Clark wins 9-6 good job
reallu nice win by Clark! Love seeing him attack the legs. 2 nice takedowns and tough on top

nice wins by White and Clark! Since there are 10 allocations at 157, I believe Clark punched his ticket to Tulsa as well.
