updated 2025 big board from the brain

[Truzzcat]

Main talking points for me

• Blaze ranked third behind Duke at 1 and Lockett at 2
• Knox as a 6 star but Robideau being a 5 star (I think I would make Knox a 5 star rather than Robideau a 6)
• Leo deluca at 8 (I think this is the proper spot for him based on his results however I think he is one of very few people you can pencil in for a career at 125 and I think that is HUGE in terms of recruiting and projecting for the future so I may have him a smidge higher)

I think the main place of contention will be with Duke, Blaze, Lockett and where they should be 1,2,3 I personally understand that when you look at the 2024 big board and the 2026 big board and of course 2025 133-149 has way more dudes than 157-174 have which is where Duke and Lockett project. While I think that is important I just have a hard time not putting a guy with 2 wins over the 1 big boarder in 2024 and 2 wins over the 1b big boarder for 2026. This is before you take into account his 4 wins over national finalists, 3 wins over senior world team members and sprinkle in his win over the crystal balls #2 at 133 this year all in the last 12 months.

 

@Husker_Du Great big board as always

i cannot argue with anything you said. all are very fine points and rationale. 

part of Blaze behind Duke and Dee is position scarcity. another is offense. he's in a ton of low scoring matches (in folk).

that being said, it's clearly possible that he becomes the most credentialed of the group.
