Kid has had a ton of bad luck and I admire his fortitude for hanging tough. Hope he wins NCAAs
I know his HS story was he didn't do much until senior year, but during his senior year he was unstoppable - did RU pursue him at all?
Don’t get any ideas. You got one from us....isn’t that enough? Lol
Cassar with a subpar effort against Garrett Hoffman of Bucknell today. A little bit lax/sloppy on counters early and fell behind. Came back well in third period but dropped match 11-8. He had a lot of trouble from the bottom position.
Yianni is ridiculously good. Not an unexpected result at this point.
Parker winning is something of an upset but not a shocking one. He's a tough kid.
Cassar's troubles yesterday may have been weight related. He sure looked washed out on the mat, so it makes sense.
If he doesn't step it up hard to argue him starting over #4 guy in the nation... this is why Goodale isn't so high on wrestle offs bc some guys figure out other tendencies in the room
Maybe Cassar has a VERY slim Collegiate/Folkstyle resume, and he is a bit overated because he's at PSU?
More likely he's overrated because he's from NJ. It's a JOKE, people. I'm just messing with you.
PSU fans have been hearing about Cassar ever since he won Junior Nationals in 2015. He got injured, and rumors of his comeback have been kicked around ever since. It almost became legendary. Now he's back wrestling after a long hiatus. Some guys come back better than ever, some never get back to where they were.
PSU has a couple of months and some good tournaments to figure out what they're going to do between him and Cutch. Those decisions are above our pay grade, but most of us have faith in the process.
" It slated as a seven-team tournament with Binghamton, Bloomsburg, UT-Chattanooga, Lock Haven, Maryland and Rutgers all coming to Christl Arena for the event."
Looks like Maryland will be wrestling on the West Coast and will not be at the tournament. As for Rutgers here are the current entries.
Eckloff, Luke 125
Suriano, Nick 125
Delvecchio, Scott 133
Mackall, Alex 133
Lipari, Pete 141
Van Brill, Mike 141
Deluca, Eleazar 149
Santos, Nicholas 149
Donner, Brett 157
Grello, Joe 174
Pagano, Jordan 174
Gravina, Nick 184
Scott, Willie 184
Mulligan, Kevin 197
Gross, Razohnn 285
Normandia, Ralph 285
Van Brill hurt is ankle during the Virginia match. And yes Lewis getting ready for U23
My guess on Willie Scott at 184....since only 6 teams in this tournament, RU does not want 3 RU guys in same weight class. Also interested to see Grello.
I'd be cool with resting JVB until the Iowa match at this point. If he doesn't get hurt I bet he beats Atkinson last weekend.
DeLuca now ranked in all 3 sites (Flo, Intermat, and The Open Mat).
Trackwrestling has RU ranked #9 now, NWCA Coaches Poll has RU ranked #11, up one spot from last poll.
Thanks. Will have to pass, then. Will probably switch to BTN late December, maybe earlier depending if they will carry the Southern Scuffle and Beast of the East or not.
Yes, agree Abro, I dont like tracks set up of every event as a Pay per view(at least not at the price points I have seen).
Flo always covers both the Beast of the East(Dec 16,17) and the Southern Scuffle which is Jan 1 and 2nd.
I'd argue the Iowa match could be the most important dual in Rutgers wrestling history if they win. The negative association with a loss would be relatively minor, but a win would be huge for the program. I think you have to go all in.
I'd agree with this. They should weigh in two at 165 and see how the match goes
With Ashnault's injury, 165 and 174 are the keys to that match. Critical. And now we have JVB injured, and struggling at 174.
Other key is getting a quick start with bonus points from 125 and 133.

lol, no idea. I'm sure RU wrestling twitter will announce it though. See you at the Tailgate tomorrow (if you go).
Lewis won his first 2 rounds in Poland...perhaps he's referring to that? If not I bet it's a top 2019 recruit that committed.
