Next week
- Thread starter jack66
- Start date
The only times I can remember a starter not starting have been related to injuries, illness and harsh weight cuts.
I wouldn't expect anything different on Friday.
We have heard nothing about Cochran since his injury, which is somewhat concerning. There have been a few tournaments he could have been in, including today,in which he did not wrestle.
Ehh, a few years back Brooks and Starocci sat a lot. Maybe it was cut related but I felt like on double dual weekends their would be some holes.
I looked at Flo's ratings, and Princeton doesn't match up well with Penn State at any weight. If we run our normal starters out there I believe it will be a shutout with a score of 48-0 or so.
I don't remember Starocci sitting much but he ended up at 184 his last year.
Brooks had a cut at 197, his cut to 184 was brutal and he sat out more than 1 or 2 matches.
Anyhow, Friday's lineup will be what it usually is. Illness, injury and weight cut are possible exceptions. I guess scooter accidents should be listed.
I am just saying.
That's fair, I guess it could be more of a testament to their weight management and health this year, everyone has been in except for 141.
For anyone with BTN+ you can get a preview of our match with Princeton on Friday as the Princeton vs. Rutgers dual will be shown at 7:00 PM Eastern tomorrow.
I am thinking of 2023 in particular, there was some chatter here about not having a full team for dual meets, Donovan Ball, Cochran, Baylor Shunk, Bear claw all got significant run that year. Starocci absolutely was hand related.
I wouldn't cut on it. If the starters can go, history says they will.
Speaking of the week ahead, and just as an FYI, Cael Sanderson will meet the media on Wednesday before Friday's meeting with the Tigers.
