anyone know what has happened to Jake Yost

[Gripper]

yeah, i don't get this...why does utc keep changing their line-up?????????

[JustWrestle]

anyone know what has happened to Jake Yost

I have heard, but am NOT positive, that he is academically ineligible this semester. If someone knows otherwise, please, let us know!

[soddydad]

Idont think that is what has happened because Jake is a very good student

[tnmat]

Jake is academically ineligible. Stinks, too, cause he's a good guy and good wrestler.

[wrestlingfan]

Hopefully he can get it all together grade-wise, because that is what school is all about. Now about the wrestling, we will surely miss him, so, hopefully he will be able to come back and wrestle again. He was awesome!! And I really hate putting that in the past-tense, so Jake, if you are somewhere reading this, let's get this back in the PRESENT TENSE!

[Sommers]

Congrats to the Mocs!! What's their ranking?

Neither AWN nor Intermat has released a set of rankings since that meet. Intermat should come out today. (Going into the week, they did not have UTC as even an honorable mention--Citadel was the only SoCon team with that status.)

[TDArtist]

The 1/13 rankings are listed on Intermat and the team is not ranked. Pitts is ranked 17. That's the only wrestler that I saw on the lists. Check for yourself though, I just quickly scanned the page. AWN has Josh Keefe ranked #10 at 133, Michael Keefe ranked #15 at 141, and, as a side note, Phillip Simpson (Army) ranked #5 at 157. Again, check for yourself, I make mistakes.

I'm pretty sure that UTC is now ranked #25 (as of yesterday) according to the WIN MAGAZINE website.

[silverpie]

Correct. Note that WIN bases its rankings on tournament strength, while Intermat and AWN rank on dual-meet strength.
