Good analysis, my preseason rankings have them at 6th.

125: Ceiling seems a bit low, I can see him 5th.
133: Seems right, and with a loaded 133, this can go bad quick.

141: Spot on.

149: I think 5th is harder but still possible this year for Block.

157: Ceiling could be higher, I'm thinking 4th.

165:  Spot on

174: Spot on

184: I think he drops out of championship caliber. Ceiling 3rd, Floor 6th

197: Spot on

285: I just don't think he's a national title caliber wrestler. Ceiling 3rd, Floor 8th.

Sincerely curious on your Williams take, can you please walk me through how he gets 4th. Who does he beat? That is banking on him staying out of trouble the whole year.

And staying motivated the whole year. It hasn’t happened yet

I think we went through this on the first page, my take was something like, why do we take williams getting motivated for the first time ever, getting in shape for the first time ever and staying out of trouble for the first time in years as something reasonable to assume but we never assume Andrew Sparks is gonna make a jump. I said it better before....

Anyway hyping up wiliams now isn't doing him any favors, its just gonna make the "what a bum" remarks louder later, not that I mind people making optimistic predictions for him, I just feel like I need to salt them personally i guess.

Great breakdown, a lot of bubble guys imo. I have their floor 8th 

 

I think DeLuca is getting too much hype like you said.

 

I liked what the guy said on the show about Crookham, he is world class on his feet and he’s very good on the mat and if he’s wrestling a guy like Marcus blaze and it goes to tiebreakers, it’s not crazy to say that Crookham and beat him. I still think he’s 5th

 

Bailey did wrestle better in the postseason, but I was thoroughly unimpressed by him

 

I think Jorden Williams goes 49 and Block 57. Think they’re likely R12, 6/8 guys.

 

Schubert is a stud, but I think he’d also a bubble guy.

 

Arnold has the biggest variance, his ceiling is 2nd but his floor is R12.

 

Angelo is probably a top 4 lock, but I don’t think it’s impossible for someone to steal a match with how close he keeps it. Brock Man?  

 

Harvey is a stud and his losses last year weren’t bad. but may I remind you he lost to Nick Nosler this summer?

 

Ben is a stud, but HWT is stacked, I have him 6th right now but he could totally win

I think Brock can beat Angelo and I’m hoping to see it this season, just rewatched a match of theirs last night. Ferrari has good defense and didn’t leave a lot open, but Mantanona didn’t push pace or chain sequences together or anything too aggressive. I think Brock can score 3 in a match and that be the difference. Ferrari is likely to take a sizable step forward in development, tho, as well.

 

Lukewarm take: I think Sinclair has Brock’s number, don’t think Brock will ever beat him in college

Agree. Sinclair does everything Brock does, but like 2x better

Sadly, when I separate my fan hood, that’s basically what I see. I’ll be surprised if Sinclair doesn’t firmly surpass Ferrari as early as this season. One has all the tools to be a champion, the other doesn’t seem like he’s the most interested in wrestling all the time.

Only thing I'd point out is montamonoimaonia is a much better athlete.
