Yes, it probably would. Isn't that what you meant when you said: "We should all be ecstatic that our new AD is at the national championships and attended most matches. She's all in and I have confidence she'll invest in the program to build a winner."
Wrestling 2026 Rutgers NCAA Tournament Thread
- Thread starter Leonard23
- Start date
There was enough in that interview to believe he is at least open to discussion. If Zinn hasn't or isn't going to speak with him about possibilities and what it would take for him to coach at Rutgers, she is missing what might be the biggest opportunity Rutgers has ever had to elevate the program. BUT, as I've said before, Rutgers will never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
Have you been in the room to see Pollard coach? He's an excellent technician, and trained many of these top HS wrestlers for years. I agree we should add top talent though like you said.
Zinn is at the tournament for more than just rooting on the team. National tournaments, in any sport, basketball baseball lax etc…is when all the players are in one location. She’s having many conversations on the side. You can count on that.
Honestly I’d rather Green with JB running a club and sending his best guys to wrestle for Green and popping into the RTC from time to time and rolling with guys.
Knox would’ve made the finals of this bracket this year , idk if he beats LL but he beats everyone else
Scott’s contract expires in 2032. Hard to imagine Rutgers eating that much money
Well you don’t fire him he’s earned the right to not be fired but you transition him to admin or pay him to oversee the RTC and let him have a soft retirement where he’s still around all the time
Were you pushing this rumor for many years under a different screen name that they'll transition him to an admin position somewhere?
Not the RU room but other rooms. No disrespect to him, but he’s not a top technician and if RU let him go tomorrow other BIG teams wouldn’t be itching to pick him up
he got really outmuscled there...
Don’t understand the logic of choosing down when you have difficulty getting out from bottom.
He ended up getting a reversal and 2 backs but I agree.
He did. But he also got ridden for 2 minutes.
but it was more rhetorical, regarding the program having issues for multiple seasons getting off bottom.
And didn't have the gas tank to shoot and scramble more in 3rd period.
It’s clear siting out for the amount of time he did caught up to him.
No I didn’t think it was time to start planning to move on from Goodale until last season
but I don’t think he should ever be fired he saved the program
This version of Bouzakis and end of year Knox yes absolutely but he probably wouldn’t have hit him.McGowan would be a tough match
U sound so certain
and what does end of year Knox mean? And McGowan would have been a tough match for who? How do we know he probably wouldn’t have hit who, wouldn’t the bracket and seeds look diff if Knox was in the field ? lol? You say it so confidently like to not worry about a one armed Ryder but yeah I hope you are right lolSCW wet the bed , he didn’t even try to shoot , he should’ve been ripping off Russians on that bum shoulder like every single guy Ryder wrestled at big 12s did but he just got pushed for 7 minutes. If you re a wrestling a fan and you don’t know there is a significant difference between a true freshman wrestling in November compared to a guy peaking in march then I don’t know what to tell you.U sound so certain
McGowan style wise would be a tough match for Knox .Im sorry that you’re the only guy in the country that doesn’t think highly of Knox but he’s on the same level as the 4 guys in the semis at 133 right now so yea I’m confident he’d be a finalist if he was opposite LL he has a higher motor then any of these other 125s
Damn, Hepner looked great against Messenbrink but hurt his neck badly. Stretcher coming out. Hope he's ok. Wow he got up and is wrestling.
“Danny Larissa’s gonna fight”. Announcers had me laughing when they pulled that out.
I think highly of Knox. I’m just surprised of your confidence how you see things. Didn’t u say Amos would win a National title this year bc he had a close match w someone and now wrestling natural weight? You also keep kept saying Ludington is a natural 184er wrestling 197 so explains the results. How would u explain the results of Arnold, natural 174er, wrestling up two weights lol I mean it’s already achievement he’s a NQ.
What do you mean a true freshman wrestling in Nov?? Are you talking bout Jax, Blaze? They fine. Whos peaking in March? U meant Bouzakis? Lol.. ?_?
cody Walsh the last of the Camden catholic Walsh brothers is the 32 seed at 165 and won 3 matches and still alive . He was losing 10-4 to Euton who also had riding time with 55 seconds left and he won 14-11
Not sure - Looked like it was initiated by MM. I dunno what Hepner did except give him his best shot. I didn't see anything dirty but maybe I missed something.
MM upset it went to decision, Hep stopped wrestling 3 seconds from final whistle so MM had to say something while Hep said F** off. Probably something like that.
Seemed like a douche move by messenbrink watching live. We'll see
No Bouzakis can’t make weight for a multi day tournament that’s been the concern with him all year , it’s a long season and the cut is catching up with him and he still might AA he has Klinsky then Peterson.
Arnold was a higher P4P recruit than Lundington and he’s been wrestling in college for 3 years already what are you talking about.Lundington would’ve been a NQ at 197 too and all Arnold does is stall to 1-1 OT matches Harvey actually opens up and wrestles guys . If you don’t think true freshman get a lot better from November of their true freshman year to the end of it then you are just a fool and yea Blaze is better now then he was in Nov.
