Thanks WG!   Interesting take on D2.  Since I am primarily a football guy I tend to look at 195 and up.  Williams @ HWT looks out of place.  Hard to tell because not a lot of common opponents but just lost to MUS kid who placed 2nd at state last year and not on this list.  The rest on the list he has never beaten.  I looked at the region brackets and season record from last year.

Appreciate the list!

D1 AA 113 looks off. I would go:

1. Jakob

2. Walker

3. Baltz (2-1 vs Creque)

4. Creque (1-2 vs Baltz, although Creque won the last one)

5. Miller (his wins aren't as quality as the others above). Miller gets Jakob possibly tomorrow if they wrestle straight up.  

6. Ferrer from Antioch (Has a win by fall over Graham)

Stiles is tough but I don't see Mason Jakob struggling in this one.  Way way more experienced at the national level than Stiles.  However, with that said it is a rivalry dual and weird things happen in rivalry duals.  My picks:

55-17 in favor of DB but I'm not counting 106 as I don't know either of those kids. I'm assuming straight up but I doubt that happens but SH doesn't have many options from 113 to 152.  Beck could maybe drop to 52 to avoid Norman.  SH could bump Beck to 170, Tate to 195, and Medina to 220 to try and help their cause.

106 No idea 

113 DB Jakob vs Miller =  6 pts DB

120 SH Smalling vs Watterson =  5 pts SH

126 DB Norman 6 pts DB

132 DB Armstrong 6 pts DB

138 DB Tucker 6 pts DB

145 DB Mullins 6 pts DB

152 DB Zhang 4 pts DB

160 DB Norman vs Beck 6 pts DB

170 DB Dempsey 6 pts DB

182 DB Burke vs Tate = 3 pts DB

195 SH Medina vs Taylor = 6 pts SH

220 DB Crowder = 6 pts DB

285 SH Redford = 6 pts SH

Yeah, the Tucker kid is good also. He has some family problems I heard that kept him out of state last year. He may have won 132 in Single A.

The DII rankings are pretty far off to be honest, in my opinion.  Kids in wrong weights and some guys just way out of place.  That said, at least they got something out.  I have been working on my set and should be able to post here soon.  Was going to offer to the guys at pin-tn but if they have someone doing it that they want then I may just post here on CoachT.  Will be up to the guys at pin-tn if they want mine.

That's why I personally prefer ranked wrestlers, it takes all subjectivity out.  Ive watched Lane Hicks wrestle a lot and if I were doing the rankings myself, I would have him ranked for sure regardless of what happened early season, simply because I've laid eyes on him and watched him wrestled A LOT of close matches in middle TN, even winning some of them like against Jenkins and Justice.  But that's my subjective POV.  If a guy is from East TN making the pin tn rankings, he will most certainly have his regional POV which would then influence the rankings.  Fun to look at and discuss, but if anyone gets their feelings hurt for not being ranked, they shouldn't.

    • I have no issues with the Karns Middle School program.   Good coaches and he's with the kids he goes to school with.  He's a rising 6th grader who had to play with 6th grade kids last year because Karns didn't have enough kids for a 5th grade age team.  He's in a good place at this point.   My daughter is a single mom with 4 kids under 11 years old.  We help her out with logistics, so staying in our own area right now is important.  Once he gets to high school age, who knows what happens?  That bridge will be crossed when we get there.  
    • I know he was a backup but I thought he filled in well when the starter went down. Never a bad thing to have a change of pace back 
    • That would be a good get for them. Lowe always finds a way. Pretty sure they have their Rb from last year returning but not that line of beef
    • One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.
    • If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
