Mizzou vs Va Tech

I saw him playing dodgeball with the guys on Tuesday. Seemed to be having a good time.
The date of the Indiana match is January 30. I’d be surprised if this would have been the first match of C*’s season. He had 2.5 months worth of opportunities to build up his ranking. Or, was he out due to injury leading up to this? Which year did he win NCAA’s with a broken and heavily bandaged hand?
The season started in late January that year because of Covid.
It was his first official match of his career. It was the delayed start season due to Covid
Not applicable. Of course they move up after they beat those guys.
Basically what we’ve learned in this thread is Carter Starocci was ranked as high as #5 without wrestling an official match in the blue and white singlet. And Cenzo as high as 7 (?) after 1 match in the blue and white
Rankers are happy to use redshirt year results. Explains Scuffle Champ Carter well enough. I honestly can’t remember much of Cenzo’s RS results, but I’d assume something of similar caliber.
One interesting line of inquiry may be to see which of our major studs ascended to 1st the fastest. I’d guess Nolf—but maybe DT? None faster than Crookham, I’d imagine.
It's time to just set a standard to avoid future embarrassment. All incoming freshman PSU starters should default to at least a standard #8 AA ranking for their first match. ;-)
Weird how he never really panned out I enjoyed watching him wrestle and thought he would improve
Those were their rankings prior to those wins, and the point was those were the rankings when they got into the conference schedule.
The Hokies are traveling to Ithaca on Sunday to face Cornell. Should be another great match!
Nah..Cornell doesn't try to win unless it's convenient for them..
It'd be cool if you could "@" people on twitter/x via posts here. Mrs Gray would love to read your thoughts, I'm sure, lol.
I unfollowed her a year ago after the tOSU fiasco..I did give my thoughts on twitter though!
Not sure what other opens Carter won during his redshirt year(Edinboro maybe) but winning the scuffle,(when it was actually a competitive tournament )was a tremendous accomplishment for a first year kid. Is there any other Lions who can say this? Carter very much deserved the #5 rank,the loss to DW was indeed a fluke and had the match been 30 seconds longer it wouldnt have been a loss at all IIRC.
When looking back at matches like tou were for their rankings, don't they list thier final ranking in all the past records for that year?
For example if you look up college football ball scores, penn state lost to tOSU they were ranked 7th iirc bit if you look at it now it shows there current rank? Doesn't this happen in wrestling as well?

I remember him winning the Clarion Open his RS year. That one always sticks out because of the helmet!
yep. the ref allowed washington to stall the entire 3rd period. should have been hit with a point, and carter wins in ov,t no doubt. think he may have been down @10-1. was coming on like a freight train.
Yea Washing got lucky when he happened to catch Carter arm on the TD!
Here is a link to the Cornell/VaTech dual. Shapiro and Andonian started with fireworks and ended with what appears to be a serious knee injury for Andonian. Very unfortunate….
Yeah, that Shapiro-Andonian match was looking like a barnburner. It's a shame he was injured.
