You must have missed his reshots where he grabbed AF's ankle and held on for dear life, lol.
Ferrari vs. Starocci
- Thread starter GableBeer
- Start date
He also just held Angelo’s leg in the air for the last 30 seconds of the 3rd to milk the clock.
That was really a 2-1 match. Star doesn’t have the offensive pace Mess, Barr, Vaness has, but when he gets in on a shot, he almost always finishes . I knew Ferrari is hard to score on, but I didn’t realize he was that good defensively. He’s only going to get bigger and better. Repeat this match in a year and I think he has a legit shot to win.
There are still a lot of positives for the Hawks. The three biggest
Drake is definitely a NC contender
Ferrari is definitely a multi time NC contender, they should let him fly this year and bump Gabe down, but that won't happen. No matter, look out the next 4 years.
Buchanon is still the favorite
Most of the rest are AA level guys. A very balanced team.
Every wrestling fan has to be looking forward to the Oky state dual, it should be a real barn burner.

Would love to see Angelo get a match against Plott.
you guys lost your ever-loving minds.
we're we watching the same match?
you're not serious people.

the one where he couldn’t get a takedown on a true freshman?
Yeah, would love to be educated on just how dominant that 3-1 win (actually 2-1 without the bs stall point) was for a four-time national champion over a true freshman who's wrestled barely a handful of collegiate matches. Lol.

CS is the best in the nation at scoring on the edge. He pulls in the leg and then pounces...that Ferrari could feel and anticipate that is crazy; especially diving in on him instead of trying to scamper out. CS's hips were just too tough to get through.
OK. I will bite. I will present the Penn State case for why the stalls were justified.
Off the whistle Ferrari quickly goes to one knee and one hand on the mat. With little more than head taps from Starocci, Ferrari backs his way to the edge of the mat. When Starocci engages, Ferrari backs off the mat and wrestles from there for the next 14 seconds when he is hit with the first stall. I think there is general consensus this one was warranted.
On the re-start Ferrari immediately drops to the knee and starts backing up to the edge again. When they go OB the ref calls "work center, work center" Starocci backs up and Ferrari stands up and returns to the mat. Starocci engages and drives Ferrari off the mat. Action is called.
The third time they are at the edge and Starocci attempts a double they wind up with Ferrari OB again and on his knees. The ref calls and points "center, center" Starocci takes three steps back, but Ferrari stays on his knees and crawls to the edge of the mat and stops but still with both knees OB. When Starocci came to him and they engaged with Ferrari still standing two feet OB is when the ref calls the second stall. I think this one is completely justified too.
The first time when told to work to the center he did and was not called for stalling. The second time he was told to work to the center he did not. Hence the stall.
Though I doubt I will convince anyone.
