Im gna go out on a limb here and say if Ferrari is actually in a boot they’re probably not going to wanna be broadcasting that to everyone. So my guess, that’s why he wasn’t at the past 2 duals
If he's in a boot, does he wrestle again before bigs? His seeding will take a hit making his path much more difficult.
I don’t have any idea, just seems like the logical reason for him not being at the duals.
Lol why? Teams going to gameplan and strategize on how to attack his hurt ankle/toe?
There’s that Cold War paranoia again.
Opposing teams can just watch the dual where he supposedly hurt it, if it’s that important.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everyone already knows. He was seen on campus in a boot.
He’s in the room right now drilling as we speak
Cool, and yet TnT haven’t said **** about it. Definitely a stretch to think they wouldn’t want him seen in a boot. Give me another logical reason he wasn’t at the Minnesota dual
Be the bad draw
Doubt he came with on this road trip if Tom had no intentions of him wrestling, which was the case.
He certainly has that ability. Plenty of Iowa guys are going to have seeding concerns because of their performances, Angelo Ferrari isn't one of them.
Wouldn't shock me if we don't see him until big 10s
Okay. The one I seen on the FB page had Gabe listed at 97 with Ludington and Sampson.
I'm not a huge fan of the style, but I think it won't hurt him as much being off the mat given the way he wrestles. Ive also never heard of him having issues with the cut. Maybe its been said, but I don't recall.
He's very discipline weight won't be an issue
I wonder if Gabe is even going to go at 197 at Big Tens. I don’t think he’s going to have enough matches at 197 to get a pre allocation qualification spot? Gabe isn’t going to have 8 matches at 197, which makes him ineligible for winning % and coaches rank. I’d think if Gabe is going to wrestle 197 in the postseason, he’s got to get matches under his belt at ‘97 this weekend. Gabe would have to be one spot from a pre-allocation spot and have a victory over a qualifier to get an at large bid.
At least that’s my interpretation?

97 is not all that strong in Big Ten this year after Barr. I really think an undersized Gabe could get a 3rd at BT, maybe 2nd if on other bracket side of Barr.
If the BT is allocated say 4 at 97 and he places 3rd, isn't he going to Nattys?
McDaniel of Neb. Is a returning AA. He could pose some problems. Geog OH. State will be a challenge.
So all the stuff I rattled of is only the criteria for pre-allocating a spot for your conference?
Essentially the allocations are earned by the wrestlers that meet the criteria. Once that wrestler weighs in at a conference championship those allocations then go into the placement “pool”. So, if 5 wrestlers are competing that earned an allocation, the wrestlers that place top 5 at the conference championship all qualify regardless of whether they earned the allocation themselves.
This is how I understand it as well.
According to WrestleStat there are 6 guys at 197 in the Big Ten with over a 70% win%, coaches rank above 30 and either projected or actual RPI in the top 30…for the 29 conference pre allocation spots announced on Feb. 26th.
The BT has 11 guys with coaches rank and actual or projected RPI at a rank of 30 or above.

At this point in the season I’m wondering if we see Ferrari at all?
A 5'7" 197 will struggle against most everybody.
What a mess.
What a mess.
I think the issue is between the ears. He was clearly obsessed with PSU in high school as evidenced during his commitment announcement, and is since 0 for 2 against them, even losing the staredown that he initiated. That can't be good for the melon given the family mentality. Should be interesting to watch what happens and see it play out. I'd be surprised if he stays black and gold for the long term.
The fact this is even a discussion. LOL
