Have never really watched freestyle that much so not sure how much it translates to college, but Woods went 22-1 this year as a redshirt with his only loss being to Nick Lee 6-3

Not sure what to make from Real Woods vs Jo Jo
I expect Real Woods to All American next year.
the year after high school is usually where the biggest jump occurs in a wrestler.
Hopefully this bodes well for JJ

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
The culture of our team is abysmal? Nonsense. We have a talent issue, not a culture issue.
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?
What do you mean Glasgow is on his way out?

JoJo Aragona will be on deck on Mat 6 when action starts at 8. He will be facing Victor Voinovich. Sounds Russian, lol.I think he's an Ohio HS state champ. I do not see him ranked anywhere.

Voinovich is young, just finished his sophomore year but already a 2x Ohio state champ and a beast in freestyle. He was beating the top seed Alirez 6-0 going into the second period. Kid is going to be special. Has a killer hi-c/single. He was ranked top 8 at 145 or 152 this year. Should be a good match.

In his 2 losses Aragona did not show a lot of offense.

Offense is not JoJo’s problem. He lacks freestyle experience and needs to get more savvy re. finishing takedowns for points. Like most hs prospects (in folk style) he has to learn to finish his shots more quickly. He is going to be a hammer.

Lightner wins 10-6, still wrestling in the 97Kg Consy semis. He's now advanced the furthest of all the RU wrestlers .
