Wouldn’t the same be true for Gabe? Also, since Ferrari can redshirt, wouldn’t that experience be much more important for Gabe this year?
Penn State vs Iowa
- Thread starter IChawkeye45
- Start date
Actually I would buy into the thought of why give Starocci any idea of what Gabe can or can’t do? Let the first time be at the Big Ten’s or at Nationals.
If the goal is to win an individual chip, I cannot think of a compelling reason for Gabe to sit out tonight. He is probably going to see Star at B1G's and Nationals, so I think it favors the underdog to get as familiar with the favorite as much as possible. Wrestle now and at B1Gs's to gain insight on how to win the one that counts in March.
Who cares where Angelo stacks up - they will never wrestle when it counts for the foreseeable future.

Did I miss Tom announcing Gabe as the starter? It absolutely matters where he stacks up if you’re considering wrestling him as a true freshman when you already have a solid guy. No idea who goes tonight
Oh you mean a returning national champ? Yeah I think you get a pass for not scoring bonus points on a national champI thought he wrestled a kid from UNI and won in over time? Ya, I know it wasn't a real match. Ask both of them!!!!
If Gabe is not the starter moving forward, this is a total mismanagement of the roster on TNT. Gabe should have wrestled last year and shirted this year if that was the case. Seems odd for Gabe to burn a year sitting behind Angelo unless he can get down to 174. Getting pretty late in the season to start a descent to 174 and be effective.
If I were betting, Gabe is the 184 and Angelo is redshirting this year.
Who are the starters?? I’ve been dying to find out!
I don’t know how it’s still up in the air, should be nailed down by now and starters getting almost all the reps
Exactly Gobblin. Maybe Brands was beating PK and got injured. When he gets healthy is Brands the starter even though it has been PK for the last 6 weeks or so? Maybe Gabe and Angelo were close in November and now Angelo has separated himself from Gabe. Who should be the starter? Maybe Gabe has been weighing in light and is going down to 174 this year? It is foolish for us arm chair coaches to pretend we know what is best for the team when we aren't in the room everyday like the coaches and wrestlers. However it plays out, just cheer for your Hawks and enjoy the show.
I'm looking forward to watching Keckeisen beat star in March at the National Tournament.
Sickness, injuries, building guys up, insurance at a couple weights, and balancing current and future lineups are just a few reasons.
To be honest I usually can't watch 2 of your matches without going to sleep for the last 3 years.
You seem like a rather boorish and boring person to be around.
If Carter beats Keckeisen this year to win his fifth title he definitely will have earned it. Keckeisen is a great wrestler. He looked phenomenal in his last match against Plott.
Who has to play music during the matches because their atmosphere is so stale?
