I don’t think it’s a big deal. Rutgers football is typically done in mid/late November. If they pull off a bowl game it’s early December. Kyonte going heavyweight will already be in pretty good shape, wouldn’t have to cut, and the most important matches don’t occur until January anyway.
Pretty unfair to criticize a Goodale here considering he got a commit from the #3 ranked 220 in the nation long before Schiano got him aboard as well.
And he’s aggressive what looks like we lack. I think we had the 1st td once in last 3 matches. Watched Princeton today and they are aggressive off the whistle every match.
I was absolutely thrilled with the Hamilton commitment, but if a high school wrestler is really considering trying to both play D1 football and wrestle in the B1G. then you aren't getting a 100% committed wrestler, and in our conference, you are going up against Cadet and Junior champs and medalists, future national and Olympic team members and contenders, laser-focused on getting better in wrestling all season round. I see other teams, like Wisconsin, getting multiple recruits for 285 in the same year . Or within 2 years of each other, receiving commitments from top 3 rated wrestlers. I hope that Goodale is still recruiting 285 for this year, next year and the following year, because it's possible we don't see Hamilton here, or at least not a version 100% committed to wrestling.
True but there is a lot to sell a recruit on...young team with obvious talnet, no depth up top, world class facilities, etc. Hopefully they can see past a few bad performances in a rebuilding yet. The coaches need the be able to sell that.
