Most boring Big 10 wrestlers (Iowa excluded)

Why exclude Iowa? I’ve seen some uninspired wrestling by some Hawks. It’s really quite amazing. Same sh!t different year.
Hell you can only think of two that’s not bad; I can think of three on Iowas team alone from 174-197.
Because those guys get called out on the regular here.
I wish we had that type of boring here at Iowa.
Including RBY is beyond delusional jealousy.
Because I don't want to call out Iowa guys. That happens plenty already
Lewan, amine, Warner, facundo, starrocci ( if he's wrestling a top tier guy), Cass (if he's wrestling a top tier guy) are first ones that come to mind across all teams
Yeah, fans can not like him for their own reasons, but boring?
No I totally respect both guys im not insane. I just find them to be boring for how elite they are. RBY is technically amazing and probably the best athlete in the sport but he very rarely gets pins which are the most exciting thing in the sport imo.
Anyone who has a lethal bow-and-arrow in his arsenal and utilizes it with some regularity is not “boring”. Dean doesn’t make the “boring” list.
Don’t forget, he’s a 184 wrestling 197. Of course he is not going to impose his will on the bigger and/or upper echelon 197s.

Sorry @Redm18 — no way you can call that “boring”. RBY is lightning in a singlet.
If we are going outside of conference I would add paniro Johnson too
I have never seen a wrestler of Bravo-Young's ability and accomplishments (probable 3-time NCAA champ) completely turtle up --- what he did at the start of the 3rd period was the most blatant display of stalling that I've ever seen, bar none. Referees nowdays have no courage to quickly call stalling, or maybe have simply been trained that way. Any time a wrestler does what Bravo-Young did should be called for stalling within 5 seconds. I've soured to college wrestling, knowing that almost every match will be boring, and most of this is due to the way the wrestlers are coached, and the way the matches are officiated.
Idk they called Real Woods for stalling on bottom 2x reaaaaaal quick. Ironside was losing his shit! 😂
That was sickening. That ref should never be allowed another D1 match. Absolutely pathetic.
He was fighting hands underneath. You know who else does that? Spencer Lee. Look down, cut off one side, get hand control and up and out. Nagao is just damn good on top and was able to reestablish hand control. You want to slam how they hook and sit on the ankle during a ride, I'm for that but this wasn't it.
That wasn’t turtling. If you couldn’t see the cat-and-mouse that was going on there, then I don’t know what to say.
I pulled up the video on youtube because I thought maybe I had missed some legitimate hand fighting underneath. At the whistle, Bravo-Young immediately dropped his head/shoulders to the mat and turtled up for 30 seconds. Yes, Nagao was trying to get hand control underneath, but didn't have much success because of Bravo-Young closing off everything (i.e. avoiding action, which is stalling). Then from 1:30 to 1:15 he was on his base with arms locked into place, just sitting there like a stone -- Nagao was trying his best to engage in some wrestling, but Bravo-Young was having none of that. The ref then bizarrely called a stalemate! On the re-start, guess who turtled again? To me, this was an extreme case of blatant stalling. Check out the video.
The better question is why ride him out? No chance to win doing that. Should have let him up
My recollection is that RBY was blocking off his right side to prevent Nagao from
slipping a leg in. Nagao got it in anyway and figure-foured it into a tight lock. RBY was not going to open up from there, and Nagao was locked so tight he wasn’t able to work for a breakdown. The ref opted for a stalemate rather than a double-stall.
Because nobody is beating RBY from neutral. As hopeless as it might be to turn RBY, that’s the best chance Nagao had.
if the name SASSO isnt on your list i think then you may all have missed the OBVIOUS... I would rather watch cars rust or paint dry than watch Sasso pull off his stalling show... I mean that dudes stalls on his feet just to set up his highlighted Stall from the bottom that transitions into the stall ride from the top. Yes , the Hawks have a couple of fellas that will frustrate us all because we 9know what they are capable of doing but Ive watch Sasso and Stallrocci since they were in high school and unless its a total walkover of a JV guy.... they both have done that same stall routine for years now.
You're going to get Iowa fans calling him boring forever after he consistently stretched the limits of stalling against Desanto. The hand behind his back doing nothing for 2.5 rounds and getting a takedown once Austin got tired without a stall warning/point was infuriating.
How bout most boring coach. Penn st's Sanderson looks like hes in a coma most of the time.
I agree with sasso except he is so flexible it's interesting to watch.
Simple - he had a better chance of turning him (slim) than taking him down (zero).
