Do you really view Arnold the same as Lilledahl? Watching Rutgers wrestling has severely impaired your ability to identify elite talent. Yeah, they'll both qualify for the B1G tournament at least twice, they have that in common.

Arnold and Davis - maybe?? But Davis has already won better matches than Arnold in his career.

I don't view them as the same, but I don't think there is a large gap right now. Lilledahl has all the high school and world team credentials, but he hasn't beaten any of the top guys at 125 yet. Out of the current Intermat top 10, he beat #8 Smith and lost to #10 Peterson. Arnold hasn't beaten anyone in the top 10 and his best wins are Smith, Ruth and Rogotzke this year and Wittlake, Feldkamp and Wolak last year. I would say Lilledahl has a higher upside, of course, but we will see how he fares against Ramos, Figueroa, Robinson and Spratley, if/when he gets a chance.

Look at the weights at 174/184 after this year , a lot of sr graduate.. only guy that Arnold might not be able to beat is Haines. Everyone else he can.

So are u saying LL and Davis are not counted towards PSU’s “10 starting Bassets”? Bc I view Arnold is at least their equal.. he will be contending for NC for the next 3 years.

You are assuming Arnold gets better next year.

Do you think Kennedy would score more points than Gabe at NCAA's??
maybe answer as gabe at 184 and kennedy at 174.
And hypothetically which one would score more at 174 this year?

 

[District four]

So much for Gabe finishing the season undefeated.

Did Tom just get an oil change?

 

[GOLDBANGER]

Maybe happier on the Raritan …

...said no one EVER!!

They are managing his load this year so I am assuming they must be wishing upon a star that if they don't grind him into bone dust he will somehow find a coach to help him get better.
