Don't sleep on JVB as well at 157. He majored a solid Princeton guy that day. I could see him being the next Perrotti.
RU Vs Princeton Recap
- Thread starter RUlegit4wrestling
- Start date
Ummmmmm.. No... Lewis isn't missing weight by 5lbs.... He's not a 165 lber...But there will be duals that they put him there to match up if it gives us a better shot at winning..
I admit I was not a college wrestler. In your mind, I cannot have an opinion or be a fan of the program?
Don't let it bother you. I was a college wrestler and he immediately wrote me off as not knowing anything either.
If we can build depth at the upper weights like we have at the lower and middleweights, RU Wrestling will be unstoppable.
You didn't back out of a transfer from PSU to Rutgers by chance?
Doesn't matter though. Correnti will RS next year to bulk up to HVWY. That has been the plan all along.
Pump the brakes a little bigmatt!! Lol. RU still has a ways to go before they are unstoppable, depth is nice, but "blue chippers" make you unstoppable. Take a look at Penn State and Ohio State roster and what they have coming in next year.
This is no way a slight on our guys, but lets let some of young guns win a few matches at the D1 level first(the ESU open was hardly a test).
I've never even seen your screen name until now.Great,you where a college wrestler.So where alot of other guys.My PSU guy got scared off,because he saw how the RU fan base acted.Can you blame him? He was a good one,that's for sure..a starter to be exact.I got blasted about Camp coming..he came.I got blasted about Mario Mason..he came.I got blasted about Gross..he's here.One guy doesn't come,because a-hole fans wanted him too instantly appear.With that guy,he would have solidified our upper weights.
The way the RU fan base acted? That's an interesting way to put it, considering the only reason the fan base knew about it was because of your posting. Everyone was talking about it because of you. So perhaps he didn't come to RU because you didn't keep your mouth shut?
Funny. Because I always thought that if it was true, then everyone talking about it was probably the worst possible thing. I wonder how the RU coaches feel about it getting blown up because it was leaked before the kid was ready to tell the PSU coaching staff.
Hopefully we see Lewis at 157 in the postseason as wng suggests. I like his chances to make the podium there - at 165, not so much.
Gravina has AA ability at 184 - unfortunately there are about 14 or 15 guys that do and only 8 spots on the podium. I could see him low podium (5-8) or R16 with a bad draw.

On December 29th at the Midlands, I think we will see what weight class Richie Lewis is going to compete at in the NCAA Tournament.
I won't be surprised at all to see him wrestle at 165 vs. Cornell.
But, the Midlands will be the moment of truth for Richie IMHO.
Dippery at 133
Ashnault at 141
Theobold at 149
Lewis at 165
might be the only wins for Rutgers vs. Cornell.
I'm still looking forward to the Dean match. Definitely going to be fun to watch now that Gravina's shoulder appears good to go this year.
I heard Cornell has some serious injury problems. Macri, Palacio and their 197 and Heavy is hurt and struggled to beat Buffalo. This might be a closer match than you think.
I think the Cornell match will be close.
If two of those four Cornell starters can't go and
Rutgers remains healthy, Rutgers may win.
The likely reason he weighed in at 162 is due to the NCAA 1.5% weight decent rules so that he could drop to 157 for the next match, if necessary.
