Angelo
- Thread starter SJP80
- Start date
devils advocate (and not wishing injury on anyone) - but, what if one of PSU's big guns suffers an injury in practice or otherwise over the next week or so before B1G 10s and the team race becomes closer - now do you send Angelo out?
It might take 3 of them being in the same car wreck
maybe Angelo is going to send AJ to drive uber around state college
Nah. There needs to be a difference between good defense and stalling.
Okay I don't like shots taken at AJ on here because he's not even involved with our team. but this was pretty damn funny
i usually don't like to be the guy to do it - but sometimes the jokes write themselves
hats off to @ff141 for the setup
Agreed, I'm Spencer excited about him. He's going to destroy a lot of people the next several years.
He's definitely fun to watch like Spencer !
A seasoned college coach of a nationally ranked D1 program in another sport once told me he’d never redshirt a kid good enough and healthy enough to start because you never know how many seasons a kid will be good enough and healthy enough to start.
Louden Swain: I got a bulletin for you, Otto: wrestling is not a team sport! When you're out there on the mat with another guy who's quicker and faster than you, there's not a whole helluva' lot a team can do for you.
Talking to a guy today he needs to get better on top and bottom so it's great that he has some stuff to still work on and motivate him. Would love to see him at Buchanan's level riding within the next 2 years with turns. Stallrachi wouldn't be a possible five timer if he wasn't such an elite rider He's also elite in the other position but that stall ride separates the guy in the one point matches
Your right and now watched it again I will take PK x2 in the next head to head
Starocci doing what he does in the face of stiff competition... whole lot of nothing, take zero risks, and then get a last minute takedown on the edge.
Congrats. Tactically elite. Boring and uninspiring AF.
Because it's true? Lol. Dude was gifted a BS stall call and was gassed and running away from a true freshman who had less than 5 collegiate matches under his belt.
I asked the same and didn't get an answer. So hoping it was.
...and yet here we are.
You act like Iowa is filled with bonus machines. I don't know if Brands took one full shot last night and yet he was being praised for doing his job...and he lost.
Oh, Brands who's wrestled all of once this year and was going against an outright stud in #3 Hamiti and avoided a MD?
Yeah, of course we loved him doing that.
What's weird is you comparing that to your 4-time national champion going out against a true freshman (who had I think 2 collegiate matches under his belt), not getting a single takedown and, if not for a BS stall call, would've won 2-1 after gassing and running away at the end.
Lol.
You seem to use a lot of ifs and buts. I get it, you hate Starocci and don't like his style of wrestling. All of your hand wringing won't change the fact that he did, in fact, beat Ferrari.
Yeah. I never said he didn't. I said that when he wrestles the best competition he brings essentially zero offense for most of the match, takes no risks, plays defense, and then gets a last-minute takedown on the edge for the win.
I called him an elite tactician. Which he is. I also called him boring and uninspiring as a top-ranked guy, because he is.
Sorry if that chaffes you down there, but I get the feeling you're one of these PSU fans who thinks college wrestling was invented in 2012. Lol.
Bullshit. 4 time NCAA champs and national finalists don’t “wrestle super tight matches” against true freshmen, regardless of the freshman’s pedigree. If it is close, it’s because the freshman is that good.

On the radio they said it was directed at Taylor, if I remember correctly
Yonger Batista...
Running scared of the big dogs this year.
Nobody (Keck or otherwise) is taking Carter or Angelo to the woodshed. Both are defensively elite. Over/under on take downs given up by either in a match against PK will be .5. No woodshed going on.
Others watching saw the young guy’s tactic to often let things get to the edge get spared two takedowns by being there. It’s all about what you want to see.
And for the record, I believe Angelo has what it takes to be your best upper in about two decades - by far. I’d be happy with a 50/50 like outcome (like Joseph and Marinelli) with whomever we send out the next four years whether it’s Barr, Ryder (undersized - perfect for Gabe rivalry?), Henckel (dark horse?) or Cunningham (wild card?) or another TBD guy.

I can’t see Barr dropping down when he’s going to a favorite at the weight next year.
Sure, but hard not to list it with Mirasola being a valid option @197, and some uncertainty whether Ryder is a full 184.
Ferrarri referred to it in his interview that it was intended to show the bad blood with Pokes and Ferraris and I think he did specifically say his brother.
You just love you tell us about your team, don't you Mike?
