I don't know if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know why Ben Darmstadt isn't on Cornell's roster? Is he taking a "grayshirt" year? He wrestled at the NYS Intercollegiate Open for the Finger Lakes Wrestling Club and won the B bracket with ease.

Ivy League doesn't allow red-shirting. Cornell (and, presumably other Ivies) get around this by having guys they want to red-shirt simply not enroll in school their freshman year. I believe the Cornell kids enroll in a local community college during that first year and wrestle for Finger Lakes. Then they go to Cornell for four years.

He beat Cornell's starter in that tournament as well. Too bad he isn't wrestling this year. He is going to be great.

Darmstadt will be very, very good but who would you rather have on your roster, he or Kollin Moore?

I vote Moore.

Moore is an astonishing development in the Buckeye universe. Only question would be how good would Darmstadt be if he practiced with Snyder?

Hank, good question.

It should be noted though that Moore beat Darmstadt in high school before he began training with Snyder.

Hate to say it, but I say Darmstadt. The kid is a wrecking machine. Moore maybe in freestyle but Darmstadt all the way in folk.

Jeff, of course it is too early to tell for either wrestler but I'm curious as to why you believe Darmstadt is the better folkstyle wrestler? Not trying to argue I'm just curious.

Jeff: I respect your knowledge but you couldn't be Moore wrong.

Moore was beating Darmstadt 13-2 before he won via FALL.

My son wrestled on a couple of ALL-Star teams with Kollin Moore so I will admit I am a bit of a homer but watching him wrestle against top level kids at VA Beach showed me what I needed to see. Kollin Moore is freakishly good. As a redshirt frosh he is about the same age as most true freshman so I am glad he was able to redshirt last year.
This kid is going to accomplish some extraordinary things the next four years.

I would love to have Ben Darmstadt wearing the Scarlet and Gray but honestly, I'm happier than a pig in mud to have Kollin. Just my two cents...not that anyone asked.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
