What’s the over under on wins? 1?

Prime opportunity to get a little bit of an upset Sunday. Illinois is likely favored, but we need to start winning duals like this.

What’s the over under on wins? 1?

Shawver vs Davis is a tossup. Only other realistic winnable match is Peterson over LL…
If Poz can wrestle like his freshman form maybe he has a small chance against freshman Barr but it’s unlikely.. Barr pace is relentless.. maybe only other match is if Bartlett wrestles one of his super tight one takedown/OT match and Olivieri steals one.

Illinois slightly favored.. tons of tossups, would be awesome if we could pull out this win.. would need a total team effort. Wonder if we will have Barbosa going at 165 for this match.

Does he still have his redshirt available? Or is he over limit

He used his 5.

Barr will be NCAA champion this year. Kid is relentless,very physical, has great technique as could be another 4x NCAA champ. We may see the the most NCAA Champs in history this year from Penn State. Levi Haines will beat O"Toole next time around.No one is beating Kasak or Mesenbrink. They are machines. Bartlett will have a tough go against Mendes, but may run into Alirez first.Lillendal, I think he wins it all,kid is super slick.Braeden Davis, I think he places very high, Kerkliviet is gonna take out Steveson, mark my words.That kid is on another level.

The advantage you have with Peterson and Shawver is experience. The home crowd will help as well. Those bouts will both be very close I think. And you're right about Bartlett too, he sometimes wrestles tight matches, although he is very good at scoring late takedowns to win. Poz vs Barr will be interesting too. Poz can pin from anywhere and he's got tons of mat time in college. Barr has far exceeded everyone's expectations though. Like, I knew he was gonna be good, but I'm surprised at how strong he looks.

I think apart from that it will be tough sledding but this might be the deepest team Rutgers has ever had. You guys can definitely beat Illinois, which would be a really nice win after coming so close against tOSU.

Here's hoping everyone stays healthy!

Will be a chore to win 1 match

As a former Scarlet Knight wrestler, and loyal forever to Rutgers, unfortunately I have to agree with you. As much as I can't stand Penn State, their lineup is world class. Every one of their starters has a legitimate chance of winning an NCAA title.

Yeah it's honestly insane. I watched them against Nebraska last week. They're so loaded. I hope we win a match or 2, but it'll be an uphill battle.

Sunday is one we need to get. They're ranked a little above us with a bunch of tossups. These are the duals we need to start winning where we've been coming up short for years now.

We unfortunately probably won't even win one match. As much as it pains me to say. They are just too good. Maybe we will keep it tight at 125 and 133. Other than that unfortunately, we're going to get crushed. There are guys in a lineup that can probably medal at the olympics right now.

No. 14 Rutgers wrestling set for gruesome match against No. 1 Penn State, chance to upset No. 10 Illinois​

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

I saw that Rutgers has alternates at 125, 141, 165, 197, and HWT. Peterson has to go at 125 and maybe have Smith go on Sunday, although bonus points may be critical. Don't throw an undersized Smith against Lilledahl. It may not matter at 141, but we need Olivieri on Sunday. Whoever gets fed to Mesenbrink will be a tech fall or pin, but I'd rather see Barbosa fresh on Sunday. If Poz's chances are that bad, send Casale out and save Poz for one he could win on Sunday. I don't see this as dodging as much as strategic. Yara-Slav at least has a chance on Sunday, and Friday, not so much.

I agree on Barr, he is relentless, I saw him pushing he had everything left just to bonus a kid in the third. I believe he will place very high not sure he beats Buchanan or Ferrarri yet tho..

Not sure Penn state breaks 6+ champs this year but I think they can break the scoring record for sure. A healthy O’toole v Haines still tossup to me. Just like SVN v Lovett will be. A healthy Shapiro is the fav for me at 157.. although another good run at nationals should cement Kasak in the PSU future lineup.. he’s the most overlooked pennstater imo.. no one touching Messebrink he got the motor and the mindset. Mendez jumped another lvl this year, he’s winning it. Bartlett might slip up somewhere wit all his close matches. Lilledhal wrestles w the poised of a 5th year senior, but im taking Ramos this year.. he got the wake-up call he needed from Spencer Lee…

I cannot take ur word on Kerk. I hope can take ur words on the transfers tho 🙏.. yes Kerk has jumped lvls, but so has Hendrickson and Gable.. rn Gable is on his own tier, then Kerk and Hendrickson make the next.
