Ohio State takes Jordan Decatur out of redshirt. Will be a big test for Sammy Alvarez. Decatur is really good. Wow- the Big Ten at 133 is unreal.

Any info how good Decatur was against college competition before his rs was pulled??#13 Sammy Alvarez vs Jordan DeCatur - Originally this weight class would pit two former NJ State Champs against each other, but Ohio St’s Quinn Kinner has struggled to make this weight, and will be going up, to 157 surprisingly. DeCatur, although currently unranked, will be a tough opponent for the fast rising Alvarez, winner of the Southern Scuffle last week. DeCatur , a true freshman like Alvarez, is a three-time Fargo National champion, two-time Ohio high school champion, and 2018 Cadet World freestyle team member. This could be the best match of the night. Edge Rutgers

Can never really underestimate a blue chip recruit until we see them in action... they might be a ncaa qualifier lvl.. or AA contention right away type of skill
How does a wrestler bump up from 133 to 157? Does the NCAA not require wrestlers to be certified at a certain weight?
Did Kinner wrestle tonight
I don’t expect Rutgers to beat Ohio State but I don’t think it’s that far out of the realm of possibility.
Aguilar, Alvarez, MVB, Grello, Janzer, and Collucci can all realistically win their matches. I doubt we get all 6, but if they all wrestle their best and the other 4 guys stay off their backs, it’s possible.
That said, it’s also possible we only win 1-2 matches. Kind of fun not knowing what to expect out of a young team.

Don't think we will see Colucci. Not sure about Janzer either.
No Janzer would hurt but Willie Scott seems to thrive in these situations.
Singletary is done for the year and the wrestlestat numbers on their backup and Esposito are similar. Still hopeful, but again, it needs to be a perfect match.
Decatur has 1 loss and that was when he wrestled up a weight at 141. Taub is much better than Esposito and may have been the favorite against Colucci. Taub just lost 4-2 to # 6 Tanner Hall. OSU beat ASU 17-16.
We should win 125. 133, 157, 165, & 174 are 50/50 and we could win them. The other weights will be a big challenge.
Gas tank Gary wrestled #6 Tanner Hall pretty well... I’d be pretty surprised if Espo beats him..Their backup 285, Gas Tank Gary, has been a crowd favorite there since he backed up Kyle Snyder. The crowd will be cheering him on. He's wrestled a Ton of bouts in his career there, mostly in Opens, but Espo would have a chance, no doubt.
It happen often when there is a vacant weight class for a team. We had a 174 pounder wrestle 197 the other night.How does a wrestler bump up from 133 to 157? Does the NCAA not require wrestlers to be certified at a certain weight?

Any chance he does a grad transfer year (assuming he would be behind Chase again)? $$$$Gas tank Gary wrestled #6 Tanner Hall pretty well... I’d be pretty surprised if Espo beats him..
