Our guys are noticeably smaller and less cut than the VT guys. Not sure what’s up with our S&C program but it looks lacking in comparison.

I've been saying for years, other schools' wrestlers seem to get stronger as they get older. Rutgers guys just stay the same.

Harer was in two great positions to score but simply got overpowered both times. He is going to struggle against top guys until he fills out.
But hippalito is a RS freshman not an upperclassman. So it’s not a physical maturity thing.

Barbosa with some nice shots and finished 1. He's slick.

VT is noticeably bigger. Have to be cutting a lot more weight too.

Whatever it is, it works wonders because all of their guys are noticeably bigger/stronger than who they have faced. We should be taking notes.

The bow and arrow should not be allowed. And Turley should've chosen neutral.

Jesus Turley. This is complete destruction. I knew we wouldn't win many, but I didn't know we were this bad.

..and Turley tried to take it easy on bottom and gets pinned. Again, we are getting completely outmuscled and this becoming an embarrassing performance.

Team looks good. Glad this is what we have look forward to. What a regression. Dont tell me not seeing effect of Pritzlaff leaving.

It’s not just RU guys.. from what I observe it’s almost every program.. how a wrestler tend to do there freshman year is about how their career goes roughly barring some big outlier..

Some wrestlers can jump lvls but it has to do more w the mental n fully commiting to the sport but it’s pretty rare..

So what do we take away from this match. That Shawver can tech a backup. We dont look like a top 25 team forget about top 15. Lol

Great scramble by SCW in the first to avoid a probable TD..impressive neutral defense for the period
