I said he's ranked 3. He got majored by a high school senior and jumped to number 3 in the country. 

What ranking service are you looking at? Flo has him at 10 and Intermat at 7, following the Clarion Open.

Also, neither even take in to consideration that he lost to Bassett.  They give him credit for beating Stiles without the discredit of losing because non-D1 losses don't count.

He is mixing up Stiles and Joy.

Even if that's the case, Flo has Stiles ranked 11 and Intermat has him ranked 9, following the Clarion Open. So I'm still confused lmao.

I believe that Stiles was 3 before the tournament start - SVN, McNeil then Stiles.

You've got your wires crossed, bud. Joy is the guy that Bassett beat. He's never been ranked 3rd

Then why did he say this (see attached photo)? Because, if he is mixing up Stiles and Joy, Stiles had not lost to a HS senior when he was ranked #3 because the Clarion Open had not happened yet.

[RandolphTJones]

Stiles came into the Clarion Open ranked #3. HE got pinned by Joy in the semis.

Joy, who came in like 10th this weekend then got wrecked by Bo diggity Bassman. 

Hard to tell who was more impressive this weekend between him and Miller, both exquisite.

If VT wants to be a top 3 team in the next few years they need to build off these 2 guys.

I believe WrestleStat also predicted Joey Olivieri to beat RBY in the PSU/Rutgers dual when RBY was a 1x defending champ and Olivieri was a true freshman. 

So, maybe we shouldn't read too much into that.

On Wrestlestat, Joy was 72nd before Clarion. Wrestlestat's algo doesn't know that Joy lost to Bassett or that Swiderski beat McNeil. It's a flawed system to say the least. Great repository though!

Wrestlestat also has Penn State ranked #3 right now.

Blaze and Duke are ranked over 150 each.  Zero recordable matches.

All I am saying is he looks physically outmatched and the rigor of a 35 match season against men will wear on that body type. He also got pinned by Zepeda that year. I am happy to be wrong, but something tells me this is a sparkle and fade situation. No time champ and 2 time AA is my guess. 

reminder that bassett will be a no time champ, 2 time AA at best. he has peaked at a mere 20 years old.

Wrong again. I know you have to defend your family's honor, but bo just isn't that good and will be exposed at the D1 level. 2 time AA is still really good. don't get your dauber down.

Can we just end the goofy argument?  Just put it in your sigs and leave it there like the good ole days of forum bets.  Then in 5-8 years (!), we can call one of you an asshole!
