Scouting Report
Fall 2010 - Rendina has been consistently performing well against the top guys in the country throughout his career. An injury kept him out of Fargo this year and hindered him a little at the Junior Duals, although he still went 6-2 with a couple big wins over Tyler Pendergrast of Delaware and former Fargo AA Jameson Oster of Illinois. A healthy Fargo for Rendina could have set him up for an argument to be #1. Prior to this summer he went deep into the bracket in Fargo every year, including last summer when he was a match from placing as a first year Junior. Last fall he placed 6th at the Super 32 Challenge and this Spring he was on a roll before getting injured at the Junior Duals, winning Northeast and Central Regional titles with a few big wins including a win over Joey Gosinksi in the Central Regional Finals. Gosinski went on to place 5th in Fargo at Rendina's weight. Rendina has also all-americaned at FILA Cadets and he won the 2009 Western Junior Regionals in Vegas, so there is no way you can question his ability to compete with the best guys in the country. His length should make him tough to deal with in college, especially if he ends up at 133 in college where most of his opponents will be short and stocky. In addition, he is very good on the mat, scrambles well, and has always competed year-round so the transition to college wrestling and training should be no issue for Rendina. With all that being said the attribute that might help Rendina the most at the next level is his aggressive nature and his inability to stop attacking. He is always on the attack, always pushing the pace, and doesn't seem to be the kind of kid who will be intimidated or afraid to mix it up regardless of who he wrestles.
