US Open Wrestling Tournament
- Thread starter bigmatt718
- Start date
I didn't get to see the match, but how did he look? Obviously not a great result, but definitely a tough opponent.
I did not like what I saw from our "Star recruits". Janzer and Aguilar, certainly didn't wrestle any world beaters and got tech'd pretty quick. Outside of a Ashnault and Suriano, this lack of heart that are wrestlers consistently display, is a real epidemic on our team. Correnti with him giving up the last couple seconds losing matches, Colucci putting his head down on the mat and basically getting scored on at will, Metzler getting rag-dolled by anybody in the top 20, Glasgow looking defeated in almost every match( and I'm sick and tired of everybody saying he is hurt..Randy Lewis AA'd with a broken arm,Nolf won a NCAA title with basically one leg and Anthony Robles won a NCAA..with one friggin leg!!),Pagano and his " oh..well..maybe I'll wrestle or maybe I wont",the list goes on and on and on and on. The culture of our team outside of Ash and Suriano, is abysmal. Grello was hot and cold Lipari was hot and cold, there's no consistency. Anytime we wrestle a team in the top 15, are wrestlers got outmuscled, and out-hustled.
abro and you can always be counted on for a good laugh. I'm trying to shake off my morning anger, after seeing that disgraceful performance yesterday. I think you and I share the same sentiments that we tend to only look at the small minority of brightness on her team which was Ash and suriano. The rest of the team needs some serious sport psychology and physicalness
This is the bio of the person who beat Janzer. Sounds like a world beater to me

I turned away from Myles Martin leading PDIII 7-0 and thought match was over. Was shocked when i saw the final score. PDII winning 11-7....Myles gave up an easy TD and PDIII went on a gut series to win. WOW
I am not sure why I like PDIII, maybe because he trains with our guys occasionally,
He seems disinterested and tired when he wrestles, but beating Myles is no easy task.

Janzer lost to a really good opponent, there is no shame in that. Would we have liked to see a closer match? Of course, but I can't find much freestyle experience (or success at least) for him other than he finished third in 2016 at 170 pounds at the Cadet Freestyle Junior National Championships.
Aguilar's lack of success is quite concerning though, as in wrestlebacks he certainly didn't face any world beaters (though Petry did beat him 4-2 at Midlands this year) and got teched extremely easily. Klimara was at least a 4x NCAA qualifier.

RUCrackers I understand your sentiments.So what do you suggest we do with the wrestlers we have now? Get rid of them.I think if we are going to put these things out there about the wrestlers lack of heart and performance.You should provide solutions to the problem.Glasgow might not be even an issue any more, as he is probably on his way out.
What do you suggest the coaches do to help improve consistency for the next season?
Malcom Robinson in the hole mat 11
He won his first Wrestleback bout 10-0
It is big our wrestlers want to compete in these events.
I don't remember that many RU Wrestlers even attending these events 4 years ago

Freestyle is a completely different animal then Folk. If you have no or little experience at it, you can be at an extreme disadvantage. If Janzer wrestles Braunagel in Folk it’s a different match IMO. Braunagel is a very good freestyle and Greco wrestler.
Aguilar concerns me some but you see difference in score from Folk to Free with Petry. Not sure what experience he has.
Also Scott was a PA AAA State Champ as a Jr and if I am correct, he beat up Britton pretty good in Semis like 16-4. So maybe not Seeded but still a very good opponent
Ug, Malcom hurts his shoulder while gut wrenching his opponent. He is up 9-6...hopefully he can continue
malcom up 9-8 at break..he seems to be moving good.
malcom techs his opponent 19-8

Aragona Techs his opponent.
His next opponent is Real Woods
Real is a serious AA contender next year.
This will give us a good look at how Aragona stacks up against serious NCAA opponents
Real Woods was 22-1 as a RS Freshman last year

Y do I feel more excited for folkstyle match then freestyle..? Like I c some of these awesome matchups and like since it’s freestyle idc really yet if it was folkstyle I’d be like this is must watch... maybe I only care bout the college wrestling season or maybe it’s the way these matches are promoted idk..
I kind of agree...this is my first Freestyle tourney watching. I like it, but prefer Folk style. I do like the push out rule.
Don't apologize; you're exactly like me.
For starters, I don't even get Greco, so that's out from the get-go. I've never liked freestyle, as all that one has to do is grab a hold of the opponent and just roll around a few times the score piles up and the match is over. It always leaves me asking, "what just happened, and what did I miss!?"
Nope, don't like anything, other than folkstyle.
