Slowly but surely throughout the years the state has been getting better and better. I see lots of D1 talent coming out of RI within years. RIs wrestling sophomore class is ridiculous the freshman class is promising and the juniors already showing their potential for example fry Clarke Fallon and many more. You can point out flaws like frys size but if that’s all yo Igor keeping him from D1 he has the rest he the drive skill and that “it” factor not many guys can jump up a weight class and even still win NEs. Mind me he lost to Adrian 3-2 but that’s a match that can go either way. Clarke avenged his OT loss to darling I would’ve loved to see him bring it to McGonagle. Fallon before his injury all American not even 100% and winning NEs. Think and say what you want but RI wrestling is rising and will only get better. Lots of studs coming within the next two years! That why I said its one thing to walk on to a Division 1 team and another to be recruited. I can't think of any good divison 1 program that is recruiting a 106 or 113 lb pound state champs, New England champs, or even national champs. Fry is a great wrestler, but he won't be recruited by any D1 teams unless he wrestles aleast 120 his senior year and makes some big waves. D1 is too competitive to have any intrest in such a small guy. Fry is a great wrestler for his weight class. But a prime example of what I'm talking about would be giblin. Correct me if I'm wrong and not remembering correctly, but He won 4 RI state titles, most at 106 a few times. When asked on the news who's recruiting him, he said none of the divison 1 teams because they're not interested in wrestlers his size. I could be remembering this wrong, so correct me if I'm wrong. Fry could walk on to a D1 team, but they're not going to be recruiting him. That's just how D1 programs work. They're looking for the toughest guys starting at 120 minimum and more likely 125. Again I have a great deal of respect for Fry and his accomplishments. He's done a great job the last few years and represents Rhode Island wrestling well.

Fry has plenty of time over the summer to bulk up , right after nationals,

Thank you for correcting me. One question though. Did those guys walk on, or did they get recruited?

Jake Ferri also wrestles D1 at Kent state and he was pretty much 106 his whole high school as well , Fry has plenty of time to get to college weight .

My 2 cents, I do not wish by any means to disparage anyone, the truth is there are kids who are currently wrestling in RI that could wrestle D1 and there are kids coming up that might in the future, I think RI is going to produce some great wrestlers over the next five years, but none as they are currently except maybe Grifka and Fry would be heavily recruited at this stage and why you ask? College coaches don’t look at where you place at NE’s that is certainly considered but the real question is the overall body of work, athletic ability, work ethic and most importantly who have you beat!
A true D1 wrestler destined for success@ NE's Jack!
Clarke’s win against Darling was impressive and 132 was deep, Check for Clark, but Darling is not nationally ranked and he was accepted at VT and will walk on an wrestle, he is not getting scholarship money. What did Darling do at Fargo, Super 32 etc… But Clarke has real potential to go to a DI program and a lot of upside!
Fallon is good, the one thing coaches will notice about him, he is a winner and finds a way to win, but for being an 18 year old who turns 19 next year he should have killed Joyce (15) and at NE’s he beat one quality kid in Leete(15) in OT and Leete is at best a high DIII recruit at this point, he has a win @106 against Guida, but that would not be the case today! He also has what seems to be lingering injuries and D1 tends to gobble those kids up, hard to stay healthy against monsters!!!
I love Fine he is a competitor, and he is young but as of now if I were a D1 coach looking at strength, potential, and athleticism I would take Faria all day that kid with D1 coaches could take off, Fine’s game of funk and rolling around would not translate to D1 against much stronger and more athletic kids who quite honestly funk at a different level by the way 0-2 at Super 32 this past Fall! But does have quality wins this year against good comp!
Fry on the other hand has wrestled well in quality tourney’s yes 106 at NE’s was weak, but he can only wrestle who is in front of him, one match away from placing at Fargo, 4-2 at Super 32, Athletic as hell, I think he can wrestle D1 all day if he puts on size!
Grifka on the other hand will go D1 and be heavily recruited, why cuz he is big and can move for his size and will only get better a projected 184 or 197 in college and Sem and Blair will be calling soon, count on it!!!!!
I also think once they mature Zarella (14), Joyce (15), will only get better and have a chance to wrestle in college but only time and hours spent in the room will tell!
RI wrestling is getting better, but let's see how these kids do in the fall before we start saying they are all going to wrestle D1!
Lastly I wish all these wrestlers well! Ebed Jarrell was not a great high school wrestler but is now a nationally rank D1 wrestler, why because he works so hard and is 100% dedicated and the truth is all the above could accomplish even more than Jarrell if they put in the work!

Mag, Okay most of what you said was your opinion whatever can’t really argue it you have points agree or disagree most what your saying isn’t outrageous. But ebed was a GREAT hs wrestler his weight class was STACKED senior year I believe due to the labries being at 152 and 160. The result might’ve not been there but he was a great hs wrestler who kept his dedication and hard work to take off in the Division 1 level.

There are 80ish D1 schools in this country, they absolutely do recruit wrestlers at all levels with potential as a big factor. All 80 schools can’t be recruiting the same top notch kids. Jack Darling is ranked 25 at 120. I’m not sure how that correlates when weights change

Wrestling is a developmental sport, kids mature at different times , Ebed is peaking at the right time , to say he was not a great high school wrestler is just wrong . There are plenty of high school wrestlers that were not as accomplished in their earlier years, and went on to be all Americans and national champions.

Sacred heart making good moves giving these RI guys great chances and run a great coach. That program is rising wouldn’t be surprised if they start bringing in all Americans from RI.

Sean Giblin, wrestled 112, 125, 125, 135 he never wrestled 106. Sean was recruited to Edinboro university and was wrestling very well but because of some family issues he returned home and finished college and wrestling career at RIC. I have already had 2 D1 coaches ask me about Joziah and if I know what his plans are. Clarke also has some D1 programs looking at him. Sean Caltagirone is really developing and could wrestle and be competitive at the D1 level if he so chose. I have never personally coached Fallon but I can say without a doubt that that kid has some serious resilience coming back from some of the things I know happened to him and that is a great sign that he has what it takes to endure a D1 grind. I know Merritt Bonanno and Dorrity will chose where they wrestle according to their academic needs but those kids know how to work their tail ends off. Fine and Grifka are fantastic wrestlers and have tons of family support to get everywhere they need to get to become the best they can possibly be. There are several other kids doing great and the best part about all these kids is that their best years of wrestling are still ahead of them. Slowly but surely throughout the years the state has been getting better and better. I see lots of D1 talent coming out of RI within years. RIs wrestling sophomore class is ridiculous the freshman class is promising and the juniors already showing their potential for example fry Clarke Fallon and many more. You can point out flaws like frys size but if that’s all yo Igor keeping him from D1 he has the rest he the drive skill and that “it” factor not many guys can jump up a weight class and even still win NEs.

I love the Magnanimous tactic of compliment and then state opinion not based in fact. 1. Who knows what anyone’s head to head matchups are in their body of work including significant wins? I don’t know Fry’s , Fallon’s, Fine’s, Joyce’s, or anyone else’s total body of work or significant wins. You know who does? Those kids and their parents and coaches. 2. Blair and SEM are calling Grifka? He’s a great kid but trust me they’re not calling him. He’d need to do more than win RI’s. Anyone can go to Blair or SEM. They generally only call after they see you on the national scene. Grifka’s not there, probably more because he’s a multi-sport athlete. Great kid and family though. 3. Grifka and Fry will be heavily recruited? Define “heavily” and by who? Jordan Burroughs didn’t even get “heavily recruited”. SEM and BLAIR kid’s winning Prep Nationals aren’t even heavily recruited. Frankly, if there’s 2-3 schools interested in a kid, he’s lucky. If there’s athletic money involved he’s even luckier. 4. College coaches don’t recruit based off New England’s? Says who? I know for a fact there was actual recruiting occurring at New England’s including offers of athletic scholarships. There were two D1 college coaches there in person and even more watched online and called kids personally as soon as their match was over. TRUTH. 5. Age: You do realize that Joyce will be 16 this year and 17 next year. Ryan Garlitz is almost 20 and wrestled Nick Fine. Saying Joyce is 15 and Fallon is 18 doesn’t tell the whole story. Fallon just had his birthday. Joyce’s will come soon and he’ll be 16. That’s HS wrestling. Young freshman and sophomores sometimes wrestle older juniors and seniors. This isn’t USA Wrestling that is age bracketed. If you wanted younger opponents you could’ve gone down to 113 or 106, but at 120 Joyce already looked much bigger than Fallon. Keep in mind Fallon had two weeks to train for state and three weeks for New England’s. As for injuries, I’ve never know him to be injured. The knee injury is the first organic wrestling injury according to his family and it probably has more to do with being off the mat most of 2018 than anything else. 6. The spread of a victory is irrelevant. A majority of the finals matches at New England’s were low scoring. It’s about winning. Any wrestler can have a strategy to keep a match close. Simply take 2 half-hearted shots and play defense. If you’re decent you’ll keep it close. Ever send a kid out and tell him “just don’t get pinned?”. Some kids are very good at slowing down a match. It’s a strategy but it doesn’t get you the “W”. It won’t next year either if it’s attempted again. 7. Body of work: How many AA’s are currently wrestling in RI from NHSCA’s? Can you answer that? Fine at Super 32 as a Freshman is not representative of his body of work. How did he do At NHSCA last year? That’s grade based... maybe he did better. As for Fallon and Guida... seriously? How do you know that? Was that his only significant win? I’d ask his father about that and I think you’d hear a very different story. 8. “I also think once they mature Zarella (14), Joyce (15), will only get better and have a chance to wrestle in college“. Maybe when Joyce turns 16 and Zarella 15 they’ll have a better chance. Or maybe when Joyce is 18 and Zarella 17. Maybe your post is just dumb. Magnanimous... PFFT... give me a break. You talk a great game but you really don’t know. My 2 cents, I do not wish by any means to disparage anyone, the truth is there are kids who are currently wrestling in RI that could wrestle D1 and there are kids coming up that might in the future, I think RI is going to produce some great wrestlers over the next five years, but none as they are currently except maybe Grifka and Fry would be heavily recruited at this stage and why you ask?

BLAIR is Blair Academy. It’s a boarding/day school located in New Jersey. SEM is Wyoming Seminary located in Pennsylvania. You can apply to go to either without any wrestling background, but they heavily recruit wrestlers.

The point about age is that Magnanimous is crying about the age difference and also slightly misrepresenting the ages. He says Joyce is 15, which is true, but will be 16 this year and doesn’t mention that. However, he mentions that Fallon is 18 (recently) and will be 19 next year. However, again he doesn’t mention that Joyce will be 17 next year. For perspective Hunter Verge from Vermont turned 18 last year and wrestled 120. Ryan Garlitz at 138 was an old 19 year old and wrestled Nick Fine. Garlitz only beat Fine 2-0 and Hunter Verge the Vermont State Champion did not place and turned 18 in October of 2018. So again complaining about age is ridiculous as it’s someting everyone in HS wrestling deals with. Put on the big boy pants and just wrestle. What’s your point on age? Everything else seems right but I didn’t quite understand what you were trying to get across with that portion

If score spread is so important to determine talent, why did Connor McGonagle only win 1-0 versus two unranked opponents?
I mean McGonagle just won his 3rd New England’s and is ranked #5 in the nation at 132 on Flo and #6 on Intermat. Two 1-0 matches in a row against unranked opponents? He can’t be any good... [Magnanimous Logic]. 😕. #dummy
PS: McGonagle repeated 8th grade before he transferred to Timberlane, so guess how old that makes him? 😭

Here’s a list of every All-American that wrestled in R.I. from NHSCA website:
NHSCA AA’s Wrestling in RI
1995 Marty Walton
2012- Sal DeSantis III Alexander Millen Jonah Aurelio
2013 James Sauro
2016 Seth Brown
2017 Andrew Fallon (currently in HS)
2018 Nicholas Fine (currently in HS) Devin Rivet =======
Huh, the only two kids you trashed are the only two All-Americans from NHSCA. That’s strange there Magnanimous. You have a funny way of determining D1 talent I’ll tell ya. #D1’sDumbestScout
