Yaraslau Slavikouski from Harvard starting for Rutgers in The B1G and The Oklahoma transfers Moore and Buter dropping weights to wrestle at Jersey Mikes Arena!

I was really surprised I read Duke doesn't give out any? I thought they were around 4 at least. I know all the Big Programs give out all 9.9 and that's not counting the Real Big Programs that can add NLI $ and they can add recruits with Also some schools have it down to a science on how to get as many Elite recruits/transfers on campus as possible with NLI and Academic scholarships. Pretty sure Sacred Heart gives 1 scholarship and that's why they can't be competitive in D1. I don't think anyone is better at bringing in numerous Elite wrestlers then Cornell. The Ivy League doesn't give out any Athletic Scholarships, but the Elite Ivy League Athletes are not paying anything or a small amount. What about D2 and NAIA Schools? I know some of them offer Scholarships.

Lehigh has taken a big hit with the dominance of Cornell and the emergence of Princeton and Rutgers who are right in their backyard. For a long time Princeton and Rutgers never was competitive against Lehigh. Not sure Princeton can keep it up but Rutgers will be good every year and probably better or just as good with Lehigh...In the 70s and 80s Lehigh was the Wrestling Power in the Northeast without a question...Until Goodale came aboard Rutgers lost 53 years in a row to Lehigh...Times have changed!

The 1st match for Rutgers will be a very easy win against a weak Duke team ( should be shutout ) . Cal Poly will be a much better opponent, but a convincing RU Win ...Looking forward for season to open

Great to see this thread again. Thanks SHP

Goodale always a good listen https://rutgers.forums.rivals.com/threads/goodale-media-day.268088/

Im sure its a lot harder getting recruits to Stanford then it was to "Ivy League" Cornell and their Junior College

Definite sleeper at 285lbs..Now at Rutgers https://gocrimson.com/sports/wrestling/roster/yaraslau-slavikouski/25622

Rutgers has the biggest Alumni presence on Wall Street and that is where Griffith wants to be in future

2X New Jersey State Champ Anthony Santaniello asked for a release from his commitment to Oklahoma. His Dad said that his 1st visit is set up for Iowa next week

125- Howard....Ronnie?

Rutgers again top 5...Next season will be a better year for attendance and more Home dates...If Rutgers lands Griffith the Jersey Mikes Arena will be near capacity for every match.

Forget the coaching...If Iowa can keep throwing 6 figures at top tier transfers and recruits, they will start buying their way close to the top...How much do have they have to pay Real Woods this season to stick around?

Zadick to One of The Greatest Programs in NCAA Wrestling History is as exciting as the 3pm XFL game yesterday

Is he expected to take over next year at 285lbs for Buckeyes? Looks like he didn't take mat last season. Curious to where people think he'll be on B1G ladder next season

Michigan is definitely one...Not 100% on other

Couldn't agree more....Iowa was once the mecca but its now located in Central Pennsylvania..Great thing there are only 10 weight classes

Ayers story is great and the turn around has been great for a Program that was horrible but Princeton was 4-11 as a dual meet team last year (lost to Harvard) and now lose 2 of best wrestlers in their history..God forbid if Joey D ever leaves for a B1G job

Huge pick up for Rutgers..2 years left https://www.instagram.com/p/CqwSILhuh_9/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=9f755221-d99c-435a-a39b-c0820dbfede7

Koll is a Legendary Coach but he'll never duplicate his Cornell run...He had a Factory going of high ranked recruits in his Cornell/Finger Lakes years

I think you also need to look at Perks and Bonuses...Some schools give Housing and many other benefits...Tony Robie at 160g is a steal for VT

Cannon to Penn State is my pick...Penn State throwing some nice $ to fill 133lbs...Not that they have to...Getting an invite to join National Champion Team is probably enough

I see Cannon to Penn State 2nd- Michigan 3- Rutgers

Throwing big Money to Griffith and Harvard Hwt
