SocraTease Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock excelled as a wrestler during his days at Bloomsburg University. He posted an 84-7-2 dual meet record and won 3 PSAC Championships. His senior year he won both the Division I and II National titles in the 177-pound weight class and was named the Outstanding Wrestler in both tournaments. He also won a silver medal at the 1973 World Games in Moscow. During his high school coaching days at Lake Lehman, he guided the Knights to 4 District 2 Titles and was a 4-time district coach of the year. In 1981, he coached Lake-Lehman to the PIAA Class AA State Championship. Two of his former high school stars were Rick and Rock Bonomo, who later achieved All-American honors at Bloomsburg.

It is a brutal sport. It wasn't a good tournament for him. The difference between winning and losing in D2 or D3, is often very slim, outside of the elite wrestlers. But nominally he was one of those "elite" wrestlers, no? I mean, ranked #1 all season, clearly he wasn't among the rest the pack.
Pablo Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 16 hours ago, SocraTease said: They should invite the D2 and D3 champs to participate in D1 championships a week later. Give them the 32 and 33 seed if you don't know where to put them. It would add excitement to the tournament. If I had convenient access to the data, it would be easy to expand Pablo rankings to allow for including everyone in D2 and D3 (and probably even NAIA). There is enough crossover matches among the divisions to get good comparisons. It would be time consuming - probably more than 50000 matches and 10000 wrestlers, but time is something that can be waited out. I asked Henschel earlier this season if he ever thought about how he'd compare to the guys in the D1 nationals. He claimed he didn't worry about it and this was a fan thing. I don't buy it in the least. For example, he did some trials for some national team last year, so he's put himself into the mix of other top wrestlers. He has to think about where he can fit in. I had one of his matches from this season in my rankings database (he wrestled a JV guy from Minnesota and won), but just the one, so it got culled out.

Not sure if there is enough crossover any more. D1s don't want to wrestle 2s & 3s since those matches don't count on RPI. We used to top teir D2s and 3s at Midlands and Vegas and DIs used to go to.the big opens like CMSU and Omaha but not so so much nowadays 1

We used to top teir D2s and 3s at Midlands and Vegas and DIs used to go to.the big opens like CMSU and Omaha but not so so much nowadays I can't access the dataset right now (calculations are running) but I have thousands of matches of non-D1 wrestlers against D1 opponents. Now, the question is how many other D1 opponents do those D1 opponents have? That's a bigger question. But I think it's better than you think. For example, I mentioned Henschel who wrestled Rhett Koenig from Minnesota at Jim Koch. Koening wrestled Ben Lunn from SIUE at the Cougar Clash, and Lunn wrestled Midlands, and now we are the mix of D1s. Yeah, only one path of 3 steps is fairly week, I agree, but it's the first one I found. There could be dozens more. Or take Ashton Jackson, Purdue 125 (behind Ramos). Lost to Caleb Smith, Nebraska, but beat Ben Aranda, Clev St, so has a solid D1 record. But has matches against wrestlers from Wheeling, Grand Valley St and Cornerstone, so now is connected to non-D1. I got these connections without working very hard. Sure, you won't find the big guys with many non-D1 matches, but non-top wrestlers, including back-up wrestlers on good teams, have wrestled a LOT, and in a lot of open events. I don't have any way to affirm a connection between everyone, but I think it's fairly extensive, more than you might think.

Pablo Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 2 hours ago, Alces Alces Gigas said: Its not like it was 20 years ago for sure. I can't speak to that, but just that I think there is enough cross-over now to get decent relative rankings of D1, D2, and D3. But without an easier way to get the data, it ain't going to happen.

During the season, he had only wrestled two guys who were in the bracket, Waters & Betancur (won). Then at regionals, he lost to the #5, Cooley.

There are enough options for higher end D1 starters/second stringers that they don't need to hit the Roger Denker Open or go to the "Shorty" Hitchcock to get mat time. Midlands is strictly D1 anymore. That's a shame, because having a mix of invite only guys to mix it up made things interesting.

There are certainly some streamed (mostly by Flo or in a dual with a lower level D1 team), but it's hard for me to find streams for D2 and D3 teams on a consistent basis. If you could recommend any, I would be grateful Many conferences have streaming platforms. Here are a couple that are free. They stream live and you can navigate back to previously aired events. https://www.mountaineast.tv/ https://www.glvcsn.com/ 1

He seemed to have a good attitude throughout. Also kudos to him for wrestling and winning for 5th knowing he didn’t qualify. Not sure why the kids he wrestles never seem to like him. He is bringing way more attention to D2 wrestling than pretty much anyone since the time they were allowed to wrestle at D1 NCAA’s. 2
