blueandgold Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Who are some names throughout history that were up and down or unfavorable for All-America honors during the season that ended up catching fire at the right time and making deep runs in the NCAA tournament? 1

Wrestleknownothing Posted January 13 Posted January 13 The wrestlers who out performed their seed by at least 10 spots is heavy in the past 4 years when everyone was seeded, but here is that list anyway. There are also a few from the 16 seed era on the list. Killian Cardinale is clearly the most under rated wrestler of all time. In the 12 seed era (1979 - 2013) only one wrestler outperformed his seed by double digits. Edinboro's Jarrod King won 165 as the 12 seed in 2009. Also in the 12 seed era unseeded wrestlers made the final 9 times, winning twice. 5 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Paul158 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Andy Daniels1978 118 lbs Ohio University. Unseeded . He beat Gene Mills 15 to 7 in semi's. Then beat John Azevedo by pin in the finals to finish 1st. In Ohio if I remember correctly, he was a one-time state placer 6th his Senior year at 98 lbs. Pretty remarkable career. 3

KCMO2 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Sheets was even listed as the #33 seed in 2021 (although there were only 32 wrestlers!), when he ended up taking 8th. He didn't even qualify at first, but Ruffin from SIUE had to withdraw before the tournament and Sheets ended up getting that spot. Edited January 13 by KCMO2

Crotalus Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Brewer was a 4x AA and seeded very low at the NCAA that year (11th I think) ... I did well on that bracket. Yeah, his case is an example of a terrible seeding job rather than an unexpected run. Was penalized by the seeding committee for being injured for a significant time. His dominance in the tournament may have been a bit surprising, but AAing certainly was not. 1
