Wrestleknownothing

Having listened to Askren on FRL talk about his youth coaching philosophy I think he means something like this (it is always risky speaking for others, but here goes). Askren does not believe in putting very young wrestlers in tournaments and traveling all over. I do not remember what he thinks is the appropriate age to start competitions, but it is older than many. He has also talked about having parents push him to change his philosophy, and he simply tells them no and perhaps another club would work better for them (and maybe not that diplomatically). He clearly knows what he is talking about, so it is hard for parents to challenge him on this. He has the personal results to back it up, and now he has the coaching results to back it up. As off the wall as Askren can act sometimes, and as strange as some of his takes are on other topics, when I listen to him talk about youth wrestling he makes a ton of sense.

Wrestlestat is a precious resource.

Seems to imply the system, process and user interface are to blame. Expand, please @Husker_Du

Agreed

Yes. Nomad's twitter to be spexific.

That would be a massive break, letting a non-conference wrestler wrestle in the conference final.

You're still not seeing it.

Accidental is pretty bad. Seems like someone somewhere has performed poorly at their job.

Purposefully or accidentally?

Yes. That is how Josh Mason got 3. He pinned #32 in the pigtail.

HR is saying Brands did not enter a name at 133.

It gets worse. The top two of those three were non-Big 10. Josh Mason got 3 of those 10.5 last year and Wyatt sheets got 4.5 in 2021.

You are welcome

If we can scan down and see him in a competition Speedo, then he has my vote.

You may want to temper expectations (yes, I understand the irony of that statement given this audience), but since we went to 33 seeds the three highest scoring 30-33 seeds (out of 120) in aggregate scored 10.5. Maybe 10 points might be aggressive. For further context 77% score zero points (0-2). Another 15% scored either 0.5 or 1.

A freakin MEN A swimmer shall rule them all.

I love them both. Sometimes your feeling Lou's and sometimes you need a tavern cut.

Here is the data on the 75%ers. My point in focusing on the 100%ers is that I am a glass half full kinda guy. That is my choice. Reasonable people can make different choices. Think of it as they are innocent of loses until they are proven guilty. They never lost at the NCAA tournament. Some can look at that as they might have lost with one more chance at the front end, some may not. The reality is that in a different era 22 of 30 75%ers did take the lose in their freshman year. But it was a different era. When did injury years become a thing? I see three guys on there who lost a year to injury (Lange, Young, and Johnson). Draw any conclusions you like, but for me I like to view the category as undefeated at the NCAA tournament, just as some view overall undefeated as a category. Sanderson was undefeated for 159, Uetake for 58, McCready for 25. Where do you draw the line? 158? 100? I don't know.

Just under a point. But given how tight the race for third, fourth, and fifth appears to be a point or two may make the difference between being on the podium and not.

Per the 2/19 Coaches Rank

I'm with Frankie on this point. I assume PSU and Iowa listened to this song and took it a little too literally in their dual meet this year.

Can I just pick one of them? If so, I will pick no on Yianni making a B1G final.

Of the thirty 75%ers, twenty-two went X, 1, 1, 1.

If you have a charcoal grill I cannot recommend this accessory enough. Amazing pizzas in minutes.
