i thought everyone wrestled tough. i was impressed. even Smith, though i was disappointed with the result, i was not disappointed with what i saw on the mat.
its hard to overstate just how far apart these two programs were. rutgers is getting beat by lopsided scores but they are wrestling the absolute best of college wrestling. if i were a recruit i would be impressed by the fans and the support this program is obviously getting.
wrestling is a grind, both for the wrestler and the college program. im seeing huge strides being made in a short amount of time. its ultimately good that Cael is next door. he sets the bar at the very top and is not going to let up. RU can get there but it will not be easy. lots of other teams with the same resources if not more gunning for the title as well.
