The team has gone downhill since 2019. We don't have a good track record developing kids. Yes, Goody gets credit for developing Perrotti and Theobold. He was unable to develop Aragona, Mulligan, Correnti, Glasgow, Alvarez, Aguilar, and others.
We have done better with transfers such as Suriano and Rivera who brought their developed talents to Rutgers. Except for Ashnault, Suriano and Rivera have been the 2 best wrestlers under Goodale.
One poster, who is an insider, said parents won't let their kid wrestle at RU. Parents think their child should attend Stanford, Cornell, Princeton, etc. That may be true. But lesser academic schools such as N C State, Nebraska, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, Missouri, Iowa State, and even Pitt outperform us. Parents let their kids go to these schools.
Let's go after transfers from these schools. Plus, after kids have used their undergraduate eligibility at the Ivies, Stanford, and Northwestern let's get them to come to Rutgers.. Many are Jersey kids and may want to wrestle for a year or two in front of family and friends. This could be our winning formula. What Goody is currently doing isn't working and hasn't moved the needle.
