>>>>>Is WrestleStat including previous years in the calculation of McGonagle’s current ranking? If so, their ranking is of minimal value as McGonagle’s at a lower weight this year. I put more value on the coach’s poll witch has him comfortably in the top 10. His success at 133 has been a real positi...

>>>>>>>>>>>”Lackluster”only if you ignore missing two of the teams three best wrestlers plus our starter at 165. I also question the “depth” comment on this year’s current recruiting. Stanich is the top ranked NJ 132, Kunstek is a jr and currently the top ranked PA AAA at his weight while Ziegler is...

>>>>>>>>Eh, spladle ——- you just stated that transfers are recruits. So, flat out incorrect to ignore top flight transfers while criticizing recruiting. Speaking of top transfers: I would think Rohn ( of NCAA dramatic victory fame and most memorable college match I witnessed) was originally recruite...

>>>>>>A classic hot air criticism.

Irrational to complain about “ recruiting” while complimenting incoming transfers.

Transfers are recruits.

>>>>>>>>>>looking at other teams can provide a worthwhile perspective. A while back there was a negative post about recruiting with the focus on Lehigh needing to bring in transfers. But a quick at virtually every other top program shows they all use transfers to augment recruiting. OkieSt just pick...

>>>>>>>>Didn’t you post a similar WrestleStat prediction for Navy. Columbia has a solid lineup, imo, 141,157 and 165 are their best weights. I like our chances at 141 with Hines and Brigs gave Cerniglia all he could handle at 157 ( Navy was helped by a questionable call) I like Beard’s potential for...

Nor was my response in a serious vein.

>>>>>>>>Bench yourself?????

I don’t believe we’ll ever hear this conversation in a Wrestling room:

Wrestler to coach: I’m having trouble escaping, please take me out of the lineup.

More likely ——— both coach and wrestler know they have to work on escaping in practice.

>>>>>>>>>Bryant’s been out for a while so give him some time to work on conditioning. Bryant vs Cerniglia would have been a fun matchup. Agree some guys need to improve on escaping from bottom———- and agree coaches/wrestlers can make better choices. Logan is better in neutral———so choose neutral. 16...

>>>>>>>>>>Expect they wanted to limit Delaney’s match count as he may be needed for future bouts. Hopefully one of the trio of McGonagle, Crookham and Lane can get healthy and fill 133 going forward. Good wins by Hines, Manzona, Logan and Bailey had a great comeback after the 1st period injury. Tate...
