why exactly did we have a WNO event when it’s noooot really an event to prove that.

 

Quickest way for an event to die

[oceansize42]

Heckert really going 182?  Two weight class jump but is a big boy.

Belcher returning to 138?  Rough cut.

Gabe Ferrell from Crockett should prove to be top 4 at either 195 or 220. Lost to Atwood in semis at state 3-1 in sudden victory.  Beat the 2nd place finisher twice during the season.  Draw was poor.  

Other than that not much to say.  Looks reasonable.

 

[Rasslinking]

Reasonable…. possibly

But 4 guys that WON the event that this organization hosted aren't number 1

 

 Change the name of the event if you are just putting whoever you want in the rankings

I mean Jarvis competed at 132 at WNO and got beat, then just recently got beat by Caleb U at the grappler.  We need Hamm doing these.

 

[oceansize42]

Forgot about the grappler.  6-5 Caleb Urohchuk over Little.  One and two at 126 should definitely be switched.

[Rasslinking]

Kids will stop going if the event isn’t legitimate opportunity to earn a ranking.

Sebron has a more recent win over Axel…. that’s prob why he was invited to the event

Jojo and Dupil are 1-1…. Jojo showed up and won the spot , Dupil didn’t

 Logan F wrestled and won the spot at 145…. BUT Hunter M is injured and definitely the best 145…. Hunter, Fowler, Sturgill

Max Norman is hard to bet against…. he showed up , won the event, has many ranked wins, Dupil is a stud but not a huge argument of him being ranked above Max…. he showed up and won.

Yes Heckert will be 182 to begin the season. 
IMO Curtis from Fairview should be number one and Atwood number two.

I agree, there is no reason why Caleb should not be ranked #1. Caleb and Jarvis both beat Bentley in OT, Caleb beat Jarvis.

He was 140 at the Grappler this past weekend. Lost to Landon 5-2. I heard Landon had like 4 minutes riding time.

Is Cooper Hilton now going to high school in Tennessee? I thought he wrestled for Wyoming Seminary out of PA. 

I agree with Rasslinking... don't think you can justify some of these rankings since they neglect recent head to head wins (Fowler over Sturgill, Colson over Ritchie, Uhorchuk over Little). I also like Curtis over Atwood and really hope we get to see that one this year.

Still fun to read these and I appreciate TNUSAWrestling for taking the time to throw these together. Thank you!

At 195 Thomas Stadl will be back for Maryville.  I understand not having him on the list since he missed last year but he'll be towards the top beefier its said and done. I think Cooper is going 220.  

Overall,  195 has Curtis, Atwood, Ferrel and Stadl.

My understanding is he is home schooling this year. Then will be at Baylor next year.
