Quote from: djk26ugarte, are Grey and Meagher definitely out for the season, or is there a chance that they will back this year?
Not definitely out for the season AFAIK. Not sure when they'll be back, though.

There's also speculation as to how "battle-tested" they'll be for the EIWAs and NCAAs if they're out much longer. I'd rather they be healthy than battle-tested, but ideally they'd be both. Penn State will be a very tough competitor in Philadelphia come March.

Here's what I found in Coach's post on wrestlingreport.com (see link above 11/22/2010):

Mike Grey has been released to light drilling and will see his first action at the Southern Scuffle.
DJ did not wrestle in the Body Bar due to an injury suffered last weekend which he aggravated on Friday.

Is there more information that is out in the public domain? Or should I PM you for details....

That's the public info. Neither wrestled in last weekend's Southern Scuffle. Next action is this coming Saturday and Sunday at the National Duals. First round against tOSU, with Missouri the likely second round foe.

In Koll's latest Coach's Report he said that Grey will be back for the Iowa State match at the end of January (not exactly a promise but still a good sign that he'll have the Ivy season to get in shape for EIWA/NCAA competition).

Koll also said that Simaz may skip National Duals because of a knee injury sustained at the Scuffle.

National Duals being webcast here www.livesportsvideo.com at $5 for the weekend.

Cornell wins their first round match with tOSU 27-6. Only losses were at 133 and 197 where the Big Red are without their starters (Grey and Simaz, who supposedly didn't even make the trip to Iowa).

Next up is Missouri. Without Cam, it is easy to see each side winning five bouts and the decision coming down to bonus points.

mountainred · January 08, 2011, 05:29:13 PM

And that's what happens (sorry for being self-referential). Cornell wins five matches in a row: Dake (149), Meagher (157), Kerber (165), Lewnes (174) and Bosak (184). Mack and Steve get the bonus points that are the difference: Lewnes with a Major Dec. and Steve with a huge Tech. Fall. Cornell beats Missouri 18-15.

Special shout out to DJ, for a match saving win, and Jochym who filled in for Simaz at 197 and held a highly-regarded Missouri wrestler to a 4-2 decision.

Next up is Minnesota Sunday at noon eastern.

With two matches to go, Cornell leads Minnesota 20-10. Minnesota is heavily favored in both matches but even if they win both, Cornell will advance to the finals as long as our guys don't get dominated.

Al DeFlorio · January 09, 2011, 01:39:22 PM

Cornell will get Virginia Tech in the finals. VT has upset Oklahoma State and Wisconsin to get there.

mountainred · January 09, 2011, 02:42:24 PM

This one looks like the toughest of all. VT appears to be favored in six weight classes. Cornell will need Frank and DJ to pull off mild upsets.

Perrelli wins 7-5 at 125! Huge boost to our chances to win the team match.

And Manson tops #7 Diaz. Dake with a major decision.

mountainred · January 09, 2011, 05:56:21 PM

Title clinched! Mack with a dominating pin and Jochym gets a win at 197. 25-7 Cornell heading into the heavyweights.

25-10 final.

Rob Koll is not a small man. I can't believe he's got a kid who wrestles at 103. Is he in 7th grade?
