I had to bring this over here for @matter7172

Studs from NJ can sure find State College, Lincoln and other places but still can't find Rutgers unless you get their sloppy seconds. NJ=Poor man's PA in wrestling except with an abundance of hair gel and fake tans. All of that talent to only produce your first individual title in 2019.

Let's face it...you are NYC's taint. Even the cool shit you do have (the beach) is considered the trailer park beach of the U.S. A population of 8 Million plus NYC (as a recruiting attraction) and your teams still manage to make Iowa State look like a huge leap up. Ames, Iowa...still a better college town than wherever Rutgers is located. Just take the L and move on

But how does Chief really feel about NJ?

Your brother from a different mother.

At least I stick to the wrestling facts.

 

[El-Jefe]

This is kinda interesting. Lipari last year left Rutgers for Rider after losing his starting job to Aragona. Now he's moving west to compete with Chlebove.

The Lipari/Aragona match this past season in the Rider/Rutgers dual may be the worst match I've ever seen. Seriously. Nobody attempted a shot the entire match. It went to double overtime and Lipari had locked up a riding time advantage. All he had to do to win was not get reversed in the last few seconds - just let Aragona escape and win the match. Guess what the knucklehead did?

Couple of ways this could go:
ASU = West Coast? I hope Lipari didn't buy the bridge.

Or

ASU:Coast:_:SU:Midwest

didn't see that match but are you saying it was worse than the two Suriano / Fix matches

 

[Dogwelder]

... ASU = West Coast? ...

Uh oh. Is he saying Lex is at it again, on an even grander scale?

 

[matter7172]

Yes. Total ineptitude coupled with overly conservative wrestling, if you could call it wrestling. At least Fix/Suriano was just overly conservative wrestling and not astounding ineptitude. Poor Goodale, he probably had to see Lipari and Aragona do that many times in the fall semester. Maybe that's why he gets so excited about things that none of us would. If Lipari/Aragona is what you consider wrestling, it must be overwhelming to see something that gets above zero on the meter.

Not very interesting at all since he isn't very good.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Yeah, he’s scamming Zeke - wants to get some sun

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Yeah, he’s scamming Zeke - wants to get some sun

"Sun"? Yeah, sure.

 

[matter7172]

Yeah, he’s scamming Zeke - wants to get some sun

Maybe Zeke saw that match with Aragona and threw some money at Lipari.

Nah. If I were a D1 college coach and saw that match, I'd refuse to allow him to taint my program.

Real Woods Enters The Transfer Portal

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6757046-real-woods-enters-the-transfer-portal

 

[NothingMeaningful]

Nick runs around all summer at about 145lbs. So making him a tiny 149 is a problem. Secondly, he’s going to wrestle for an Olympic spot at 65kg, so 141 is the perfect place to wrestle for PSU. And lastly, he’s the best 141 in the country, why put an inferior wrestler in that spot?

Until he actually shows up for a match at 149, Yianni might beg to differ.

Real Woods Enters The Transfer Portal

I can't be the only one who thinks with a little meatballs in his spaghetti, we can find a spot in the lineup for this gem

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Google search has failed me in finding Woods top school list before he committed to Stanford. Paging @El-Jefe

 

[El-Jefe]

I have nothing on his finalist list. It might have been 100% Stanford all along.

One thing to note: he's from Albuquerque. So Arizona State might be a big factor.

 

[Scryed]

Woods at 141, Lee at 149 sounds pretty nasty to me..

 

[82bordeaux]

This year when Nick takes out Yianni it will cement his PSU legacy.

Patrick Brucki (197 out of Princeton) has entered the portal as a grad transfer

Can he beat out Beard?

I’ll take Yanni IF he is still a ‘41.
Nick Lee appears to be a great young man and a very good wrestler for sure.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Can he beat out Beard?

We know Brucki can beat Warner. Maybe he should go to Iowa.

 

[Thenightking]

We do not need another banged up 197 transfer, didn't work out last time. I want to see Beard wrestle!!!

 

[WildTurk]

We know Brucki can beat Warner. Maybe he should go to Iowa.

I also know that Warner beat Brucki and Beard 2x so maybe Cael should recruit Warner..?

 

[El-Jefe]

Brucki can get healthy. What if Beard gets injured? I would take Brucki in a heartbeat especially if he doesn't take much scholarship money.

 

[Brian LB-U]

We know Brucki can beat Warner. Maybe he should go to Iowa.

And Glaizer and Corbin and Wilcke.

 

[Thenightking]

seems like Beard has been at PSU for 8 years already, he needs to wrestle.

 

[CropDuster507]

And Glaizer and Corbin and Wilcke.

Don't sleep on my boy Glazier.

 

[Hoosier Lion]

I’ll take Yanni IF he is still a ‘41.

I’ll take that bet. Yianni had a chance to wrestle Nick last year year at the US Open in the 3rd place match and passed. He doesn’t want the smoke!

Yeah, Yianni ducking. That sounds about right.

<rolleyes>

 

[PSU_Pride_93]

well then

 

[funkisfun12]

Or Tanner Sloan?

graduated from princeton in 3 years? not a lot of non-ivies would challenge him academically. maybe he's headed to stanford for grad school? oh wait...

That's an assumption.

If he is planning to have surgery and be out this year, then he can still attend Princeton and graduate in 4 years (plus however many summers). This year would be his redshirt for NCAA purposes, and he would have to go non-Ivy grad school (which is probably better anyway as an engineering major, if he wants an MS Engr).

Entering the portal doesn't commit him to transferring this year -- it's a formality that allows him to communicate with future grad schools. (Which is smart, because non-athletes considering grad school typically start that process around this time as well.)
