The Sanderson Watch - Day 35

[Wrestleknownothing]

And then there were six.

It was a tough weekend for undefeated freshmen.

Before the start of the Cliff Keen Invitational there were 19 wrestlers with a shot at an undefeated college wrestling career. CKLV did some damage, knocking out eleven of them. Two others lost elsewhere over the weekend reducing the field of career undefeateds to six. No Wheaties Box for you gentlemen. Sorry.

First, The Six

* How do we feel about a loss as a redshirt but in an official match? The new freshman eligibility rule has the potential to really mess up The Sanderson Watch.

** Does it count if you do not wrestle? If so, get me my Wheaties Box, and get it now.

And now for the vanquished.

 

Note 1: I used the Intermat rankings to find my list of freshmen (the number in the far right column). Obviously there are other undefeated freshmen who have not yet been ranked by Intermat. Who are they?

Note 2: It is possible for vice two of the undefeated to appear on next year's list if they do take a lose and do not use their five starts (Nasir Bailey, Luke Stanich). But Bailey better lose soon (or never) as he has used 4 of his 5.

Note 3: I am not sure about Meyer Shapiro. If he does not wrestle six times this year, then transfers to a non-Ivy school, can he declare this year was a redshirt? Or is that not up to him?

Who is this Crooham you speak of?  I knownothing about him.

** Surely there are more with this perfect 0-0 record.

I knownothing of others in this 2nd table but if Williams is on a 4 timer watch list something is just plain wrong.

Hmmm. I don't know what that means now. You are scoring (or not) team points but you remain in RS.

This is YUGE. Let the debates begin.

Damn good question.

I believe he's good friends with Stevenson!

Braeden Davis Penn state is still 7-0

This is my favorite answer. He has a chance to out Cael Cael. He can go undefeated this year while redhsirting. Then he can go undefeated for four years and right the wrong of Sanderson's career.

Day 66 of the Sanderson Watch.....And Then There Were Two

Nasir Bailey, Clayton Whiting, Luke Stanich, and Rylan Rogers have all heard Taps played on their pursuit of 159 up and 159 down. We say not farewell, but fare forward, voyagers.

There remain but two to pursue undefeated greatness. Our hero, Ryan Crooham, and PSU's own, Mitchell Messenbrink, are the two remaining freshman undefeateds.

In the more important category, Braeden Davis (and I am sure others) is still alive to go undefeated in his redshirt freshman year so that he can out-Cael Cael.
