I'm sure that comment was really necessary.
Ohio State at NCAAs
- Thread starter Hokie99
- Start date
Somewhere a village is missing theirs.
This lineup as constructed isn't good enough to win a trophy this year. However, if they can get Feldman to AA, I would say this season gets a "meets" in terms of performance grade when looking at the preseason rankings.
That said, it needs to be a trophy next year (and yes I'm using the old top 4 premise of trophy).
I've given up hope on competing for a national title, as that's going to be Penn State's domain for as long as Cael is coaching and the rich booster types keep pumping money into NLWC. However, getting a trophy is realistic, and being within some contact of Penn State is also realistic.

With Sasso and kharchla would we be competing for 2nd this year?
Tough question, but a very good point!

If Kharchla goes 174, Welsh redshirts. At best, you're getting the same amount of points there in my opinion.
Absolutely, you put your hands on a woman you are scum.

YES!!!!!
Nice showing by Jesse and Rocco. Any neutral fan would pull for these guys as wrestlers and people,
I think Nic B is going to mke serious noise next year as well.. Plus Nick Feldman losing by 1 to a National Champ. He got closer each time out despite being physically outmatched,
Something in that room seems to be working.

For the Ryan OSU bashers......... if you had told me we would lose three AAs going into this year and still be top 10 going into the final day ........... i would accept that as a job well done. The future is pretty bright. I'm also Davino fan.

Makes you wonder if they would have had the same amount of bonus points with a 2 point takedown

Starocci is my least favorite champ in a while! Makes himself really hard to like if you’re not a PSU fan. I get that he can back up his talk, but Brooks is a perfect side by side comparison that he doesn’t need to be a complete and utter d-bag. It’s rare to see Carter have any humility or ever even credit his opponents. Was hoping Rocco would win for multiple reasons.
Davis at 125 for PSU could have won it all but he used up a good bit of luck at the dual against Vinny

Then you think every coach in the sport except one should be fired, correct?

Really? The head push OOB was/is a move, especially when you know the guys you're competing against has an injury and you'll never be as good as him. . Starocci was very humble in his post win interview, giving tons of credit to the coaches and trainer and God. As for Rocco winning he has to develop an offense first, eventually the wrestler pushing the pace will get his even if you're stalling.Starocci is my least favorite champ in a while!
