No. 14 Wrestling Sends Full Squad to Keystone Classic

[Kiddagger311]

Overall, at best a so/so performance. We have no one who is dominant and next level. Done watching White wrestle. Same crap every year. Wish we had anyone but him. Clark has zero offense.

Smith IMO best performance on team. Has showed a lot of improvement.

wish we saw our 97s, Nini and Ford.

gritty matches by Olivieri and Pinto.

Bad losses by SCW, Shawver.
Hope all is ok with Catka.

The problem with having no one who is dominant and next lvl is that getting an AA will Largely depend on bracket draws..

133 looks too loaded especially if Jax comes in second semester.. Pinto prolly best shot to AA but it looks 50/50 rn, a lot will depend on bracket draw.

Realistically, decent chance RU only gets 1 AA this season, maybe even zero again.. not sure how successful a season would be considered with only one tho.. it’s going to be really close if we get that NCWA duals invitational next year.

Man it's not even December, and this board is crashing out on end of the season AA's already. Must be a new record.

It's not that all.Its just all too familiar early season circumstances, that end up having those predictable end of the season outcomes.

I think Olivieri has a good chance to AA and there is always the opportunity for others to peak at the right time and push through. If the ebd of the season is all that matters, judging results now as predictive or meaningful seems counterintuitive

The we need a new coach crowd will always show up when people lose. Everyone seems to think Rutgers is gonna be able to hire a big name down the road. Everyone sees what DT has done and thinks that everyone with a name will do the same. Without 1 million a year DT isn't even at Oklahoma st and Rutgers doesn't have a billionaire donor.

I really hope Olivieri does AA but who are you realistically taking him over?? Mendez, Vega,Hardy, Stanich, Composto, Vombaur, Romney, Enchemedia, Jack, Ragusin, Bailey, Nagao..?? A lot will depend on bracket draw..

Shawver just has not looked like the same aggressive wrestler that AA’ed 2 years ago. Even last year I know he made Blood rd but did not wrestle same and seems like its continuing.

People have been saying we needed a new coach even on the off season.What are you talking about? If we got money to shell out for Schiano ( Which is an absolute waste of money) then we can poney up more money for a better coach.To bad we didn't lure Donnie back.That would tremendous...Donnie, Seabass, Labriola, Bulsak( I think he left) and Buxton.What staff that would be.

With revenue sharing being a thing now which next year with me 22 million the university isn't gonna be paying more. If more is paid it would be paid by donors . DT salary isn't all being being paid for by the university around 80% comes from elsewhere

The last two paragraphs... Was Mullen Catka's illness?

Star Rag can't even write a positive headline about a wrestling first without throwing some kind of shade into it. Bunch of dopes.
