Most Overrated Wrestler Right Now???

[mattramosjr]

In my opinion 

Massoma Endene or Tyler Knox.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

[Pinnacle]

If the criteria is the #1 who won't finish there, I pick Ty Watters. If its the guy who will fall the farthest then give me Cross Wasilewski.

Max Renteria is currently ranked 11th by Intermat. I do not see Renteria making it to the blood round. I don't know if I see him winning two matches at NCAAs.

Is it his 4 ranked wins this season or his one loss to #7?

It's watching him wrestle for Illinois for a couple years combined with following him after he embarked onto the Oregon trail.

Feldman was already being touted as a '26 and '27 title threat before conferences last year. Nothing about his results are surprising.

I would not choose the word "overrated," but I have some initial skepticism that Welsh has or will develop the offense to make top 4 at NCAA's.  I know he was a finalist in '24 against Starocci.  He has some solid defense and tough to ride, but close matches at NCAA's looking for the winning TD from straight on shots can be risky.  So he is on my watch at a weight that looks pretty NCAA deep to me.  I am not rooting against him but surprised at his limited attacks from neutral.

Feldman isnt Kirkvliet or Hendrickson or Parris or Bastida--but he seems to be back to 2023 level and there simply aren't many super high-end guys at that weight. He should stay #2 to 5 all year and place high.

Knox is a returning AA. How do you figure he is overrated? 

[Spladle]

I would echo Endene. He may go into NCAAs as a top 6 seed and be a guy who struggles to get to R16.

Angelo has no offense and stays back on a knee to keep from wrestling.

Yeah, he's not very offensive, but... overrated? I don't know.

I can't WAIT to hear @Caveirarespond to how "C-stall" wasn't aggressive, but then rationalize Ferrari! 

But beyond that, I don't see how you say he's overrated. He's beaten Sinclair. That alone means he's not overrated in MY opinion, but then Sinclair beats McEnelly who looked as good as anyone coming back from last year(who didn't win it at least). 

 

I guess he MAY be overrated at #1 since I think he's got a good chance of getting knocked off if he keeps Wrestling so passively, BUT... he's as good as anyone at maybe the toughest weight(though I'd say '33 is better). 

[Truzzcat]

Someone I think is ranked higher than they will place but Watters to me is probably the most volatile 1 right now. He narrowly beat Cardenas at the all-star in a matched that it seemed like Cardenas was going to win on multiple occasions and we have since seen Cardenas take two losses to guys that are very good but probably not favorites to win the weight. I hope I am wrong though because I love how Watters wrestles.

Josh Barr.  Has anyone even seen this guy wrestle all season?

Ayala and Caliendo are easily the most overrated.  The Iowa room is like dog years.  One year there is equal to seven in others.  Both will suffer from Iowa Senioritis and not even come close to sniffing the finals again if they even make it to the tournament.

Similar to guys like Dean and Kerkvliet.

[El Luchador]

I can't crap on wresters anymore, at least without knowing their politics. Maybe instead of this approach we talk about who is more deserving of a higher ranking.

I have the opposite take Barr. My biggest surprise is that more people don't agree with me.

I don’t think he’s currently ranked? Is he?

[Tyler Perry]

I’m not saying their over ranked based on body of work, these are just my predictions Zan Fugitt #10 won’t make R12 

Joey Oliveri #6 won’t make R12

Nasir Bailey #10 are we serious?

Koy Busegens #4 he’s fun… but no way he AA

Hipolito/Chittum #11/#14 not over ranked but I don’t think either are wrestling this year 

Sam Goin #14 he has nice wins but wrestlestat crowned him like 15 pre season based on what? (Flo had 14 rn) idek if he qualifies
