I thank Bill and the other insiders for sharing what information that they can or are comfortable sharing. I am always astonished at how privileged some of the other posters on here presume themselves to be. Did it ever occur to any of you that the coaches actually do not want to share injury information for obvious reasons? The insiders likely feel the same way. Did it ever occur to you that a student athlete's personal injury information is also covered by HIPAA rules? Did it ever occur to you, all that being said, that the most likely reason for a guy not wrestling is an injury or physical issue of some kind? And, if not injury related it is likely a personal issue of some kind? I mean, come on folks.
Rutgers can only bring 6 guys to events that are not on the official schedule. The remaining guys can attend but have to pay their own way and can not wear Rutgers singlets. It’s a pretty stupid rule honestly.
They typically mention the guys that are going unattached (if any) in the preview, as they did for the Princeton Open even though its not a official date on the schedule. With that being said, I wouldn't count on anyone else competing, but things could obviously change.

I, too, appreciate Bill and others who share information. I consider myself curious and interested as an enthusiastic follower of Rutgers wrestling. Privileged, I think not. I would not expect to be told of any details, especially if they could be considered personal. Bill could have said Barbosa is out, but we hope to see him back soon. He could have said Barbosa is hurt or injured. I don't consider those things particularly personal. I had bad bronchitis last month and am okay with others knowing it; I don't consider it very personal.
Unless the person reporting the injury is a "coverd entity", they are free of HIPAA rules and regulations. Teammates, people watching practice, and most likely even the coaches/Rutgers could share information without penalty under HIPAA guidelines if they wanted to. I dont think they should. I agree with all your other points here.
Anyone in the know and gives out information here is appreciated but I don't expect it nor do I feel the drive to get answers. It's the wrestlers own injury or personal problem and they probably dont want it disclosed publically. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it you who pressed multiple times to find out what happened to Poz after the MSU injury match (2 years ago?) and was not pleased because of the lack of public information?
Give it a rest idiot. Calling me a privacy defender is funny. Ha! You derived that because I said I dont need to know and the wrestler probably doesn't want it public. You are a true Frank Clumbo.
Probably, yes. I wonder why football players are less sensitive to injury reports.
I wonder if you're confusing LETSGORU91 with LetsGoRUwrestling, who matches your characterization perfectly.
Enjoy your All American moniker because that's only title you'll ever earn. I've yet you offer any valid info, other than riding Leonard and SCNJ jocks with the snide comments.Its amazing.Zeros like yourself have a place to act like authorities, with no real life experience.Pathetic.
Rocky Elam wrestles for Missouri and has been injured all year and hasn’t wrestled a match this year. You sure you’re not mistaken?
I’m actually in favor of more info being publicized because the sport shouldn’t be top secret. I’m also in favor of you to stop pretending that you’re a former Rutgers all American
Ha! Keep believing that. I'm coming out in January to February see some home matches. I'll inbox you and you can come out to home meets. It might take up three quarters of your paycheck to pay for nosebleeder seats but i'm sure you can use the exercise given your lack of athletic background.
Weird how often you post at 3:30am mountain time. Guess you can’t sleep again. Meanwhile, 5:30 eastern time where most Rutgers fans live is a reasonable time to be waking up. Keep making subtle comments about moving out west and fly fishing as if that’s going to fool anyone.
Bill said he hasn’t met him yet.. but yeah Crackers said he’s coming to some home matches in jan/feb so hopefully it happens..
early riser my friend and early sleeper.Always have been always will be.Im assuming you get up late to get to mail box to collect your government cheese checks.🙂
Bill knew me way back in the early 80s when I wrestled. We had a cordial relationship.We weren't going out and partying or having family get togethers.He knows me very well.You don't have to put him on the spot to vouche for me. He is a wonderful man. I know he was having health issues with his wife and I hope she is doing well.He is a super fan and the backbone to our fan base.
I had high hopes for Casale.Seems to be just another practice room wrestler at this point.
Yes u know crackers from the 80s but if u met up w current crackers at one of the home meets, if for nothing, it would silence SCNJ constantly thinking Crackers is making up his identity.
Gammell, UVA. Make it five in a row. Soldano with a 1st period pin in final. Has he awakened or just the competition?
probably a bit of both but he is looking better. some may have to do with being pushed for the starting job regardless good to see.
