I believe Flo said they were going to use them in their rankings. So if coaches are lazy and use their rankings, it will impact seeding @Husker_Du will Intermat factor these matches in the rankings?

We have Mark Hall as precedence, they not only matter for rankings but also for seeding (will be part of seeding criteria coaches rank). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I think as of right now the discussion is between Brooks and O'Toole. Lee will enter the conversation when (if) he actually wrestles. Margin of victory, method of domination, and facets of all three areas of Folkstyle should be considered when making this detetmination. Starocci and RBY can dominate people to the tune of 2-0/3-1 type victories, but their margin of victory ensures they cede in the discussion for the best collegiate folkstyle wrestler this season. 1 "I know actually nothing.

Spencer Lee hasn't wrestled and who knows what he looks like when he comes back. As far as all three facets of folk..Spencer gets A from neutral, A+ on top an a C on bottom. Brooks..A from neutral, A on top and A from bottom Aren't you the one who said AOC in the conversation? If true, you should be disqualifed from an opinion.

If true, you should be disqualifed from an opinion. If I'm mistaken..sorry I did mention AOC and it was tongue in cheek. I always throw in a line about someone from IL - of course he's not in the same level as multi-time champs and world medalists lol. Not sure why you would grade Lee a C on bottom though? When he makes it to the second period and goes down then he gets out quick. Brooks on top is fine... he controls the mat and walks away with 3+ mins of riding time usually. But he doesn't turn people at the rate of other hammers and if you're talking about a P4P then there has to be a higher level of dominance taken into the grading rubric. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I don't get a vote that matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee was pinned from Piccinini and has been ridden by Glory. I gave Lee an A+ on top. So no argument there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Giving Brooks an A on top is rich. He stalls, riding only for the purpose of riding. He's probably the best neutral wrestler from 174 up (with Gable not wrestling) and arguably in all of D1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Disagree. If Lee doesn't return, or is a shell of himself if he does, I would favor O'Toole...if he's undefeated. After that I would go Brooks next. O'Toole is going to put up more bonus than everybody other than Lee, plus his weight is better. Obviously predicated on O'Toole running the table. Brooks has the same number of NCAA titles as RBY, and has separated himself more clearly from the field. Not that I think anybody is beating RBY, but I'm talking about in individual matches. After Brooks it would probably go RBY and then Starocci, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
