Anyone following it here? A bunch of RU wrestlers and recruits are in it. Surprised there isn't a post about it yet.

 

[R U Crazy]

I am hoping to catch some matches tomorrow.
Thank you for the link.
I did not realize RU had that many wrestlers going to be there.

I read on Flo that JoJo should be seeded even thou he has almost no free style experience. I am interested in seeing him and Kyle Lightner wrestle.
Kyle is wrestling at 97 kg (About 213 lbs)
What weight is going to be for us?
Seems light.

 

[RU23]

Lightner’s a heavy, yes needs to get much bigger to be competitive. Another one of those tweeners where a 220 weight class would be ideal.

 

[R U Crazy]

Lipari's 1st match....Zein Retherford.....Ouch

Nic A. in the hole mat 2

Lipari was teched by Zein

 

[R U Crazy]

Nic loses 10-0

 

[R U Crazy]

Just saw Dayton Fix shoot more in 15 seconds than he did in both Suriano matches combined. Why isn't he this aggressive in Folk Style. He was very impressive.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Is The RAC big enough to hold a tournament like this? If not, has Rutgers ever put in a bid to hold it in Trenton or Newark ?

 

[RUCrackers]

Little worried about Aguilar's trajectory. Watched his match and I was not impressed. Think he's hitting a ceiling as far as ability.Still not counting Metzler out.

 

[R U Crazy]

I was surprised Nic was wrestling Senior Freestyle, not Junior Freestyle. Is he older than Metzlars?

 

[R U Crazy]

I want to see the potential Semi Finals at 74 between Nolf and Green!

 

[MS-RU]

RU volunteer assistant coach Brian Murphy won his 1st match-up 4-1 against Dan Vallimont

 

[R U Crazy]

RU volunteer assistant coach Brian Murphy won his 1st match-up 4-1 against Dan Vallimont

That was a tight match. Ref awarded a push out to Vallimont to make it 2-2 with 34 seconds left. Brick was tossed and ruling overturned. Vallimont had a desperation attempt for a TD in the closing seconds and Murphy covered for 2.

 

[R U Crazy]

Very hard to follow opening rounds of US Open.
Matches can be over in a minute.
If you take a bathroom break, you might miss 3 matches.
A lot of 10-0 matches
(My first attempt to watch the US Open and major freestyle tourney)

 

[R U Crazy]

Murphy Techs his next opponent, makes it to QF's

 

[R U Crazy]

Vito Arujau up early on Dayton fix due to a big throw...6-0

 

[R U Crazy]

Vito leads 6-4 after 1
great match


D. Fix outlasts VIto (He tired, had a tough last match) and wins 18-8

 

[R U Crazy]

Yanni defeats F. Molinaro 10-3

 

[MS-RU]

[Abro1975]

Aguilar loses his wrestleback 10-0

Lipari loses his wrestleback to M. Marion 14-5

RU Alum Eleazar DeLuca (72 kg) finishes in 8th place in Greco Roman

 

[MS-RU]

Aguilar loses his wrestleback 10-0

Lipari loses his wrestleback to M. Marion 14-5

Ugh, not a promising showing for either of them especially Aguilar who didn't score a single point in two matches.. and his wrestle-back opponent wasn't a very good one either.

I'm not going to comment as I don't know their wrestleback opponents well, and not sure if this first time for both wrestling FS, and if they had the option of wrestling in the junior division. At least they went and competed, the experience can only help, I would hope.

 

[Abro1975]

Junior Freestyle Brackets now up:
http://arena.flowrestling.org/event/f6df0763-537e-cdc3-0c65-d292d527eef6

61 Kg Malcom Robinsin vs D. Dentino, Wisc
65 Kg 5 seed JoJo Aragona vs K Parco CYC
86 Kg Billy Janzer vs 4 seed Braunagle IRTC
97 Kg 7 seed Kyle Lightner bye in first round then: N Manzonelli, West Point

I can respect that.

To be fair, I don't know much regarding either of their FS experience but at least Lipari lost to Zein, who is a world class opponent and has teched everyone thus far and Montell Marion who was a stud/2x NCAA finalist as well.

 

[R U Crazy]

I am more excited to see Jo Jo, Billy J. and Kyle L. this round.
Added plus seeing Metzlar and Robinson.
