This performance alone warrants a top 5 ranking
You dont rank wrestlers who arent the starters or consistently starting. Theres a reason you dont see 2 teammates ranked on the same team at same weight, when there 100% are several top 20 wrestlers competing for starting line up... in both PSU and Iowa.
@@avidadolaresthey rank two teammates all the time when they are both sharing time at a weight.
He’s redshirting this year
@@avidadolaresCael Huges and Reece Witcraft at Oklahoma State have been ranked at 133 this year
@@ActuallyNotADoctor Don't believe they were at the same time tho. Hughes was 32nd at one point but Witcraft was unranked...Now Witcraft is ranked and not Hughes.
Angelo Ferrari may have just put on the most impressive performances ever done by a true freshman ..with a stall call, and riding time being all that separated this match is amazing. Especially when looking at this being Ferrari's 10th collegiate match, vs close to Starocci's 100th as well as being one of the greatest of all time. Absolutely incredible performance, and looking forward to seeing this kids rise.
Rocco welsh did the same thing last year
As impressive as Ferrari’s performance was last night…and it was VERY impressive…
In my opinion, it’s not in the same universe as Pat Smith winning his 1st of 4 NCAA Titles as a true freshman in 1990 which was historic.
Great post though, excellent points and Ferrari may go on to be the next 4X NCAA Champion someday, he looks that good!
@JS45678 💯 agree with you on Pat Smith. Looking back, it's impossible to find a true "greatest" performance because there have been so many. But the way Ferrari avoided giving up a takedown on the edge as time expired in the 1st was special, especially when looking at the nuances involved in what that took. It's these little technical details that continue to evolve the sport, making what once seemed impossible the norm. I'm just constantly amazed at how good these kids are becoming.
Are you serious? I'll give you an example. Back in 2013, when David Taylor faced Kyle Dake, if both faced the exact same wrestlers, Taylor would bonus 90% of them, while Dake would only bonus 70% of them. According to your logic, the conclusion is that Taylor was better. But all that would prove is that Taylor is much better at scoring. Same thing that happened in the match above. Ferrari's good defense and Starocci's lack of elite offense--for someone at his level--made it a close match.
@ Thank you for such an eloquent, knowledgeable, and highly respectful reply my friend.
You are absolutely right that there are so many amazing performances that it would be difficult to name the best.
With that said, I do agree that young Angelo Ferrari’s performance last night facing a 4X NCAA Champion is mind boggling. For me, it’s mainly from the mental standpoint of an athlete so young truly believing he belongs on the same mat as a revered 4X Champion on way to (likely) a historic 5th championship.
Angelo Ferrari is a physical beast but his strong mentality is stuff of legends.
Thank you again for such a respectful exchange of opinions my friend, you are a Class Act.
gabe aint ducking. ferrari is just better. you wrestle your best guys in big matches. A true frosh just lost by 2 against a 4 timer. Very impressed by ferrari.
Gabe is a true 174. It's easy to see
He stalled alot early on
Ferrari is better but that match was definitely, definitely not as close as the score shows.
He’s definitely ducking. If not him, then Brands.
Stall call on Ferrari was BS
Ferrari was in on a leg multiple times this match, the true freshman is placing top three at NCAAs this year
Hopefully he doesn't wrestle post season if he is still red shirt eligible. Starocci isn't winning a 5th this year, it's going to be Keckheisen. I realize that may not be the case but I'm pulling for Parker
Hes redshirting this year. Gabe is the dude at 84.
A TRUE FRESH LOSING BY 1-2 TO A FOUR TIMER...IS A DAMN WIN!!!! DAMN!!!
How the mighty Iowa has fallen. Congrats on your moral victory!
dude stalled the whole time, ofc he only lost by 1
@@braiden8324cause of sworn he took at least 5 shots
@@braiden8324what r u talking about he shot way more than starocci and starocci was working for those stalls literally working him out of bounds
@@toaagni6525cornball😭
Okay, Bo definitely has a wrestling commentator arc
lol I hope Carter improves quickly because Ferrari is on his bumper. It’s not a stretch to say he could beat Carter by the end of the season.
Mabe
Were those two fast stall calls warranted..??
I didn’t agree with the first one because of the fact that he took my shots then Carter, refs don’t understand that being overpowered ain’t stalling. But if I’m wrong then please correct me
One maybe, but not two.
Like Bo said Perception
Absolutely not
Close to 10+ shots from Ferrari and 0 (?) from Starocci but yea Iowa's stalling
Starocci got good treatment by the ref definitely should have only gotten one stall call
My thoughts also
Yea he took way more shots in the 1st round then carter.. terrible stall point that early. Ridiculous. O well
Terrible call, i think that was due to home field/court advantage
Ferrari backed his way out of the cylinder both times, after having stood at the edge of the cylinder for most of the first period.
He wrestled well in the second and third period, but he let himself get bullied the edge (and out of the cylinder) the entire first period.
Not a terrible call.
Welcome to Penn State wrestling
Wow Ferrari is the real deal. Better than AJ
I don’t know about that, but definitely the real deal.
AJ won a title as a true freshman, right? Season isn't over, but I don't see Angelo doing that.
@magicalfrijoles6766 AJ for didnt have to compete against 4 timers though. Based on this performance, I see no issue with putting Angelo at #3 behind Carter and Parker, who are both champs
@@magicalfrijoles6766 AJ beat Nino Bonaccorsi 4-2 in the finals and Angelo just lost 1-3 to a 4timer. And if it wasnt for the new stall rules he would of only lost by 1 point.
Hes def as good if not better than AJ imo.
Laughable statement when AJ won as a true freshman against another NCAA champ no?
very questionable stalling calls. Takes all the shots and trys to circle back while mr stone stance no offense just stands there and blocks you out and thats a backing up stall call? Either way pretty good outing for the true frosh vs 6 or 7yr senior "GOAT"
Don't end up there in the first place.
Talk about no offense, Angelo was backing up and playing the edge of the mat the whole time
Don’t call him Stallrocci for nothing
Great match by the ref. I really like how he decided the outcome of the match for us.
Your opinion!
@@MarshaGantz-jp4tt obviously. It's a UA-cam comment.
Just like the NFL. lol. Gotta love when refs dictate the outcome.
Chiefs style
That first stall call was super fast
3:10 too 3:22 embarrassing bad stall call by that official in those 12 seconds. Are you kidding me. A little forward pressure but no offense. That was Daton Fix best scoring move he ever had in the ncaa finals
Bro is sitting outa bounds bro what? That was definitely right lmao. The emphasis on stall calls for out of bounds is specifically to stop wrestlers from playing the edge as much so it was def right.
@tyngouamo7067 I disagree. Starroci is taking advantage of that situation and using that rule tweak in a veteran, savy, punk way.
Star wasn't wrestling there
@@tyngouamo7067stardouchey wasn’t wrestling there he was forcing dude out of bounds. Theres a difference
Yall Iowa fans cry too much
Ferrari was impressive. I think that was a bad stall call against him. Starrocci is a beast but this young gun is the real deal too, he was an aggressor
An aggressor that hung in the edge of the mat? Alright pal
Yes.
Ridiculous stalling calls
Ferrari ran the entire match.
Those calls were out of this world. It’s as if the second one was called a second right after he shoots like bruh
7:19 🤣 Nickal’s favorite PSU-Iowa moment is classic
Ferrari has a bright future. That was impressive - although I will say, Carter wins but typically isn't the bonus point type in big matches. Rides and rides but doesn't turn
Ferrari looked awesome. Bright future!
Im not sure why people are treating this as some groundbreaking performance by Ferrari. Starocci didnt even look like he was trying and Ferrari only scored from an escape.
Yeah, Carter stalls and is overrated!!!!
Carter doesn't EVEN try a mat return and drops to the ankle? Stalling. Plain and simple.
Can’t believe we get to watch this for free 🔥🔥🔥
Great showing by Ferrari! Absolute stud. Good things to come. He is making the room tougher and better for the upper weights at Iowa.
👀 Those stall calls were sus.
No he deserved them. He's very good for a freshman but he wasn't doing much for part of the match
He's definitely going to be a multiple timer as long as Iowa doesn't over work him
@@notmyname1038lol stop. Everyone saw clear as day he was the offensive wrestler. Go back and count how many times starocci took a shot 😂
The 1st one Ferrari was on knees on the boundary for a good 10 seconds while not engaged. Stall every time
Home cooking
Carter, why so little action?
Because Ferrari is that good, and Carter knows it.
@@focojeeprthis! He needs to redshirt this year so he can be a 4x
Dont Have Too He WONNNNN
@@brandondickson5381Ferraris is THE DEAL, but Carter already has 4 titles, I think he’s proven himself as a wrestler. No doubt these two will meet again quite a few times.
@@jorgeocampo6030Unlikely. Ferrari is redshirting.
Second stall call should’ve been the first. Gonna be interesting to see how they match up in march if they do meet!
The end of those first 2 periods really showed how much better starocci is. He had full control of the match, even if he didnt score those 2 times.
2nd stalling was bullshit
Both were, shots taken should be the main form of stalling
He literally slid back and off the mat lol
Nope!!!
There's no reason to see the commentators on the screen
Please keep the match full screen
Hope they wrestle again this kid from Iowa is special
People say stalling on one or the other.
Neither stalled but both were very tactical. Close match.
Aj impressed while Carter got the job done the way things played out.
Carter had more control & stayed in the center but Aj took more shots & didn't run or back straight up.
Carter was more risk adverse but more of the aggressor.
Aj was more offensive but played the edge tactically & conceded the center.
Easy to judge & hate. A bit of a boring match but high stakes & pretry evenly matched.
That looks like the National finals
Nice job by Ferrari but he really didn’t generate any offense. Close score but not closely contested.
Ferrari looked like he didn't even want to be there.
Exactly
You are out of your mind. Ferrari a true freshman just wrestled the best wrestler in college. He held his own. Carter couldn’t even take him down. When two greats wrestle it’s always low score. One minor mistake and the whole match is over.
he got in on a hi c multiple times
Kinda of the Ferrari brothers style. But what did the 5 year Senior do? That first stalling call was questionable, all he did was get an escape and riding time point. In which Ferrari could have probably fought another 10-15 seconds and negated that
Starocci wrestles enough to win, very comfortable in tight matches, but! Ferrari is tough, great match for AJ, Carter better not look past AJ next time as a freshmen wrestler, better come at him on a mission.
He didn’t lose because of wrestling he lost because of rules
I have a bad feeling Ferrari is gonna beat Carter in NCAAs.
I don’t think Carter is even close to best all time wrestler but it would be cool to see a 5x time champ
Just imagine if they wouldn’t have given starocci a 5th year, Ferrari would be the top wrestler in the class!!!
I think Parker would handle him still
I thought Angelo did amazing against him!
They should have called stalling on the guy who was stalling--and I like Carter.
4:52 Definitely think Starocci should have had a stalling call against him here.
I agee!
Backing straight out of bounds, fleeing the mat, playing the edge is clearly stalling. We all know you can game the system but Ferrari literally didn’t even try to circle back in when he had the opportunity. Ferrari just wrestled to not lose by too much Staorcci controlled the entire match
Awesome to hear Bo!
I mean Ferrari ran out of bounds and played the edge the whole match
Carter is soooooo boring. The youngster outwrestled him tonight.
Huh? You have to be kidding. LOL. Carter won solidly. He did what he had to do to win the match. He doesn't have to impress anybody.
Damn Angelo had to suit up for his teammate and his brothers talk and as true freshmen still held his own
Had Me At The Edge Of My Toilet Seat
Carter don't want that smoke from AJ.
Nobody wants to watch 7 minutes of Carter standing around. That’s why wrestling gets cut from college athletic programs. The guy is a 30 year old 5th year senior and doesn’t know how to shoot.
Pathetic. Boring. If I was s fan I’d ask for my money back.
30yr old? lol. He's barely 24. Compared to Iowa who's had 27yr olds wrestle for them like Kemerrer or even Gable Steveson
@ just mocking the lunacy of the sixth year seniors because of Covid. NCAA wrestling did not shut down that year and we still held a national tournament.
Grow up. Get out. Move on.
Carter gotta be the best staller in the sport I thought fix had it but nah man Carter def wins the award.
Carter all he does is stall, no offense no shooting. Referee looks out for him!!!!!
Ferrari had two opponents on the mat and still only lost by 1 super questionable point…
God Bless y’all
Ferrari obviously better than Arnold.
He wrestled VERY DEFENSIVE. Carter Would have crushed him if he would have wrestled !!!!
are you restarted? angelo took more shots than carter did and got to his legs moe than anyone else this season 🤡
@@MickeyMouseTheDog but he wrestled very rocky but he wrestled a very good match tho. Just wasn’t wrestling to win.
But he didn’t!!
He had the chance as every other wrestler, he could have but can't!!!
Have they pulled Ferraris red shirt or was Gabe hurt? I thought Iowa was going to shelf Ferrari until next year? Possibly Iowas first 4Xer. Certainly their best chance
refs just gave carter the W
What do they mean 5th national championship?
Wow, good on Ferrari. Not so sure Starocci will beat Kecheisen at Nationals.
Doubting a returning Penn state national champion in the national tournament? Have you learned nothing over the years?
@@keyboard2758😂truth
@@keyboard2758 No. Just stating an obvious thing: not so sure Starocci will beat Kecheisen at Nationals. Maybe he will. They're both very good. It's just that Starocci didn't look very exceptional against a true freshman.
@ tripping.
I feel like Angelo will red shirt this year, and will probably be a 4x or 3X national champion. 💯💪🏾
That is the worst stall call I have ever seen. College stall calls are an absolute fricken joke but to call that so quickly …. You’re not calling things like 99 percent of officials do
I’m surprised people still see these wrestlers are “Freshmen” (refer to them as beginners) when they have been wrestling their whole life and have been training like professionals. I didn’t expect anything less from a man who (with his family) has made wrestling their profession. In fact, if the Iowa guy would have not been competitive, it would have been a major disappointment considering how much he and his family have been putting into the sport most of his life. This goes for all these young professionals.
Carter 4x champ one part of me say move on already!
So impressed by Angelo.!
Great match. Carter definitely controlled every position, but Ferrari is the real deal!
Ferrari may get the championship this year.
I definitely believe now that it will be Angelo and Carter in the NCAA finals! Not a single takedown was scored by either guy!
Even matched mostly - stall call was BS
Idk I have This feeling Ferrari gonna come back and beat starocchi
I don’t see them wrestling again in college, Iowa gonna redshirt Ferrari.
Angelo is better than Gabe
Can Ferrari wrestle ncaa tournament as a redshirt freshman?
This kid could upset Starocci at the championships. Hes a freshman and wrestled a 4 timer this well.
Am I missing something? How can Carter be eligible for 5 titles?
Ngk, Ferrari surprised me here. I think he's leveling up
I wish Rocco was wrestling this season
from what i just watched the iowa kid is the better wrestler… refs were just with the penn state kid
Great match all around... CS has some comp...
Watch Coach Brands' interview... It was AF's match from the beginning of the season...
1 point for out of bounds would be great here
Gabriella Arnold is on the JV team LOL
Lmao
How and why is he going for his 5th title?
This Ref was terrible
Ferari was shooting and constantly setting up shots in the hand fight. But he was moving backwards.
What else are you supposed to do when someone is in a square stance marching you down, and at the caliber of Starocci.
Idk if this should be stalling. Merely because someone steps back. Theres still offense. More importantly theres still an offensive mindset clearly on the person being called for stalling.
Its like they want people to just headbud each other into concussions.
Very impressed by ferrari
good match
I am not impressed by Carter. For a grown man wrestling a kid, he did not perform.
He's 23... wouldn't say that's a grown man
23 sounds like a grown man
@@ladev91He is a 5th year senior competing against a true freshman…
The physical difference between a 19 year old and a 23 year old is the difference between a teenager and a grown man.
Carter shouldn’t be competing on the NCAAs anymore. Either go to freestyle (where he performed quite poorly) or try MMA.
@@ladev91if you got pubes your a man
Carter akak The Chickenman Stall-rocci
Should be embarrassed running around the mat stalling like a chicken.
Props to AF as a Freshman wrestling so tough. Refs deciding matches is horrible.
Will Carter be any good in FS with these tactics? I think not.
Seems like these are freestyle stall calls rather than folkstyle. Idk.
Very impressive by Angelo..Angelo looked under sized
Stall calls were completely one-sided - very cautious/lackluster match for the so-called champ
Fararri super focused. Zero intimidation . Love it
Ferrari is going to win next year against Parker
Angelo gets it done in a rematch
Ferrari is too tall and lanky for Carter.
Put Gabe at 74 and Let Ferrari have 84 or vice versa
Everyone calling out the ref like Ferrari wasn’t playing the edge constantly. He back straight out the first stall call. I would’ve liked to see Carter shoot him out more but those were easy stall calls. Quit crying about stall calls if you’ve never wrestled in college within the last decade. The penn state hate and penn state D riding is actually hilarious. Ferrari is legit, this shows it. CANNOT play the edge like he did in the beginning though
1st match Ferrari has lost since he was a HS Freshman... He will learn from this, cant wait till the NCAA Tournament.
Lil-Far is a freaking stud!!! True freshman, kept #1 4 timer stud on his heels the whole match, @184 lbs 😮😶🌫️ did i mention hes a freshman 184lb stud??? And he seems like a super nice kid 👌🏽
bs calls would've been so much closer, Ferrari did so better than we expected
How tf was there no call for starocci just standing with him in the 2nd?
