You should see taylor Kolthoff he pined a senior yesterday he is 16-4
Take a look at Anderson from Ballard at HWT. Beat #7 in 3A MacDonald (Waukee) by fall.
Why is there so many differences between your rankings compared to the predicament? What kinda criteria do you guys use to make your rankings compared to the predicament? Lastly which rankings are used when determining the seeding at tournaments? I’ve seen some that are ranked in yours and not the other and vice versa.
I’m not sure there are many tournaments, if any that use rankings for seeding. I haven’t been to a seeding meeting in a few years but I can’t remember any that had ranking as a criteria. I think a lot of tournaments now use track to seed the brackets someone correct me if I am wrong please.
Why are some of your rankings at different weights so different than the predicaments? What guidelines do you guys use to rank compared to the predicament?
why is Conor ascheral ranked? He hasn’t wrestled yet that I can find. I see on track he’s listed at 52. Will he really get to 38? You guys aren’t consistent about leaving a guy out when they aren’t on the mat makes it tough to take them seriously when homework isn’t done on them as to who has wrestled and who hasn’t. I appreciate you doing them and that it’s a struggle to do them but if you’re gonna do them at least be consistent and stick to your own words of not ranking guys who aren’t wrestling.
Why is Ikerd ranked at 106? He has wrestled 113 all year??
Ikerd has a weigh in at 106 and plans to be down there soon for the remainder of the year.
Hey, thanks for getting your rankings out ahead of The Predicament. You guys do a really nice job putting out a ton of great content and I can tell you’ve been working to improve the site year over year. I do radio coverage for South Tama specifically and having fresh rankings really adds to our broadcasts. Keep up the good work!
Thank you and STC has a really good team again this year and will make some noise in February.
Why is Areon Day (New Hampton) not ranked at 195. He beat plenty of ranked wrestlers at the Independence tournament.
I agree!!
Day is close but just outside right now. What ranked kids did he beat at Independence? He lost to Ring who is ranked highly at 220. His best wins there were over O’Connor, Francois, and Heisdorfer. Good kids but hardly signature wins. He also lost to McKeeman against Oelwein who is ranked #8.
What happened to Bennett (Perry)?
Bennett is currently not on the team
Mason Carpenter for clarion goldfield dows should be considered. When is their hwt suppose to start wrestling for them that transferred? He should be highly ranked when in lineup
