flyingcement Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 If Brock Delsignore ends up announcing a transfer to Purdue before vanishing from the wrestling world all together, he would be the third guy to do so in consecutive years at 174/184 going from NC State to Purdue after Jacob Null and Joey Milano preceded him.

BloodRound Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 13 hours ago, 1032004 said: I guess he really only wrestled for 2 years, but I thought Fernandes would pan out better. He had one of (maybe the) the most dominant NJ state title runs ever. I can't remember how tough the path to his junior season title was, but he pretty much outclassed everyone his senior year by a very wide margin. Who knows what happened afterward though. Covid comes, maybe the focus shifts from the sport over to Wall Street more. I do remember hearing that he had to be convinced to come back even this season.

I don't mean to harp on the guy, because he is going to have a more successful life than anyone could imagine, but it appears his focus was education and long-term mental health. When other guys (Parris, Kerk, Davison) were gym-ratting it, he was focusing on how to be successful in life. He didn't do anything wrong, he just didn't hit the weights as hard. It left him behind a bit and as he needed to rely on superior athleticism more to play catch-up with gents like them and Batista, it wore on his body more. The guy will be fine and I do wish him the absolute best. 2 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the buzz around the state tournament that year was over the runner-up who had come from a very low seed to make the finals. Everyone knew the pin in the finals was inevitable though. 1 minute ago, nhs67 said: I don't mean to harp on the guy, because he is going to have a more successful life than anyone could imagine, but it appears his focus was education and long-term mental health.

He was ranked like 3-4 range at 215 most of his junior behind one of the Accardi and Scott Delveccio brother then bumped up to heavy for the post season and was never challenged and never looked back. man I would’ve bet the farm ( Fernandes grew up on a farm with his brothers who are all bigger then him somehow lol) that he would’ve AAed , his first 2 seasons he was wrestling close matches with Kerkvilet, glad to hear he has his career and is set up nicely for life but man disappointing that he never AAed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killdozer Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 So here is my question. If Cardenas and Fernandas are done with Ivy eligibility then how are Foca and Ramirez not. They all wrestled for Spartan Combatin 2020. Then they all are listed at Cornell in 2021 (Although Cornell didn't wrestle that year). Then all four of them have been in the Cornell lineup the last three years (2022,20223, 2024). So if Cardenas and Fernandes eligibility is done... So should Foca and Ramirez. Now they can transfer for graduate school and wrestle a year more. But I am not seeing how they still can wrestle for Cornell. Am I missing something?

flyingcement Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Curious how the lineup shakes out for @ILLINIWrestlingBlog and his squad. Here's a guess from me 125: Ruzic 133: Byrd 141: Attasauov 149: Pucino 157: Webster 165: MiniBraun 174: Ruth 184: Connell 197: MegaBraun 285: Luffman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 133 all 4 years at ISU...You would think he would go up. What was his story this year? He has no stats and isn't listed for 2024 in Wrestlestat. 1 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Jim Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Well....Webster is registered for the U20 US Open at 70 kg and not 65. Just sayin'....but IL is hurtin' at 125. I tend to believe Attasauov's post that he will be 125 Edited April 2 by Hillbilly Jim added comment 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
