I think we match up well with Maryland.

 

[Bobbynieds]

How Is Boone? Is his injury healing?

How Is Boone? Is his injury healing?

Boone practice all week. He should be ready for Saturday.

 

[KidDagger]

I think we match up well with Maryland.

Think we will win but should be close

We favored : 125/33/41/84
They favored: 65/97
Tossups: 49/57/74/HWT

 

[Peteras9144]

I had them favored as heavy too. But the rest the same.

Think we will win but should be close

We favored : 125/33/41/84
They favored: 65/97
Tossups: 49/57/74/HWT

But I didn't know Boone was back. Good first match back for him as opposed to some of the other monster heavies it could have been

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

In a fleeting moment of optimism, I'm thinking seven wins:
125/33/41/84 plus 65/74/HWT

Is Jaxon Smith going to wrestle 197 this week for MD? He's missed the last 4 matches, and MD forfeited. 197 all of them.

 

[MS-RU]

We are going to get MDs best shot.

125, 149, 157, and 285 should be good matchups.

133 - their starter is 0-14 on the year and lost his last matches by fall or TF. Big bonus point territory here.

141 is average and Oliveri should have his way with him.

165 is a tossup. Best is 5-11 vs d1 opponents
this year. Now 165 is our weakest weight but Kanniard can definitely beat him.

184 is a very weak weight for them. He has lost 7 matches by either MD, TF, or fall so it’s another huge opportunity for us to get some big bonus points.

 

[Tango Two]

2 p.m. ET start

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

125 RU closer than it should be
133 RU bonus points
141 RU major
149 MD
157 Toss-up
165 RU
174 RU
184 RU pin
197 MD - but Janzer has been looking good
HWT RU if Boone has the stamina after lay-off

 

[Tango Two]

 

[MS-RU]

Well that was a great start. Dean gives up the MD.

 

[Bobbynieds]

And heilman gets the major back against King Sandoval

 

[Bobbynieds]

Oliveri wins 2-1

RU up 7-4 after 3 matches

 

[Bobbynieds]

Yeah

White loses 4-2

RU 7 MD 7

 

[UnderHooks]

Heilman with the only offensive output in 4 matches

 

[MS-RU]

We have a bunch off toss ups upcoming so hopefully we came to wrestle or this place is going to get ugly.

We are 0-1 so far with Dean losing.

 

[RuBird]

Nice job Mr. Clark

 

[Bobbynieds]

Andrew Clark wins 7-2

RU 10-7

 

[KidDagger]

Who said 157 was a hole? Clark might be our most improved wrestler

 

[UnderHooks]

Who said 157 was a hole? Clark might be our most improved wrestler

He has definitely improved. Feels like an off-season to get stronger and more explosive could be what takes him to the next level. But you have to be happy with the development of his skills

 

[Bobbynieds]

Kanniard Wins 7-0

RU 13-7

 

[Bobbynieds]

Turley wins 5-1

RU 16-7

 

[MS-RU]

Great last 3 matches. Really took control and won the key toss ups.

 

[RUTrack94]

Good to see RU start to pull away … time to finish this up … keep seeing the rankings and damn RU is the 9th ranked team in the B1G (all including RU is top 25).

 

[Bobbynieds]

Soldano wins 6-3

RU 19-7

 

[Bobbynieds]

MD forfeits 197
RU 25-7

 

[Bobbynieds]

Boone wins 5-4

RU wins 28-7

 

[runrutgersrun]

Thank you! How did Boone look? Go RU!

 

[mikemessner]

He has definitely improved. Feels like an off-season to get stronger and more explosive could be what takes him to the next level. But you have to be happy with the development of his skills

He's at the correct weight class this year. Last year he wrestled up a weight class.

 

[mikemessner]

Thank you! How did Boone look? Go RU!

85/90% still not healthy. But who is

 

[MS-RU]

Nice win by Boone after a long layoff against a tough opponent.

 

[Peteras9144]

Good dual for us. Was hoping janzer got a shot at smith. I'm guessing he's still hurt. But how do you throw out a forfeit. Big ten program got to have backups.

 

[KidDagger]

He's at the correct weight class this year. Last year he wrestled up a weight class.

Couldn’t we say the same about O’Neil?

 

[LETSGORU91]

Thank you! How did Boone look? Go RU!

It was half wrestling, half boxing match. Boone bull rushed the MD guy finally and got the first take down. He needs to get back into match shape. He was doing the Boone lean on his right knee again a little too much. Glad to see him back in the lineup and he was pumped after his win.

 

[mikemessner]

Couldn’t we say the same about O’Neil?

Yes, but Clark is making more gains this year. Both wrestlers were team players last year.

 

[elvis7]

Kanniard Wins 7-0

RU 13-7

Great shots from BK today. I know I'm in the minority, but if He could lower his levels, and remove easy access to his legs, he could surprise a lot of wrestlers. IMO

[KidDagger]

Yes, but Clark is making more gains this year. Both wrestlers were team players last year.

This is what I meant.. Clark didn’t have a hot start this season but gradually improved over the season at his new weight.. and now I believe, 157, has become one of our stronger weights.
