In youth wrestling the best (future career wise) to beat me was Robert Kokesh (3x SD state champ and 3x AA, 3-4-3 at NCAA's for Nebraska). The worst licking I ever took in youth wrestling was to Destin McCauley (ended up being a 6x state champ in Minnesota and a top HS recruit). The best wrestler that I faced in HS was Blake Stauffer (4th at NCAA's for ASU). I believe the score to our match was somewhere in the 10-3 range. I had a hard time getting away from him on bottom.

Very similar path for me. 145-152-171-189 (9-12th grade)

I spell a lot of things wrong but this was not one of them lol.

Doucet would be right in that 6-R12 range to start the year. Top 6 guys in no particular order would be Bastida, Trumble, Ghadiali, Kueter, Feldman & Taylor. They would be a tier ahead of Doucet to start the year and he would be in the Mullen, Pitzer, Amos, Mirasola, Hopke, Attao, etc tier.

Listening to Trent Hidlay on Matcast for NCAA's I thought he would make a good coach.

Ryder to OK State.

I wonder what it is about the formula that likes Garrett Grice so much

OK State has like 44 or so guys on there roster. That is going to have to get cut down to 30, right?

Not to mention that Ryan did not look so bad when CK was ranked like 3rd or 4th earlier in the season and gave Haines a very tough match.

I thought Moore was going to Presbyterian?

Plus Figs, right?

That is a great point. If the wrestler is hanging on to an ankle looking for a stalemate, is that not a stall? It clearly is as the wrestler is not looking to engage in action.

Zain 5.56 dominance score is insane. Dude was such a hammer on top.

Minor doesn’t have connections to Iowas program lol

Jackrabbits were hard after him out of high school if I remember correctly.

From what I am hearing Swenson will be back at 157 more than likely.

All of them.

If Iowas team transferred to penn state and penn states team transferred to Iowa then Iowa would be the favorite.

Cael Larson won a D2 title for Augustana this year.

My guys Cael Swenson should be mentioned. 2x NQ for SDSU with two years left.

Chris Phillips is always brought up as a "what if". Jesse Thielke (had Greco aspirations), Destin McCauley, John Meeks, Ben Whitford, Brooks Black, Lance Benick, Chase Singletary, Gavin Teasdale, Joey Silva were hammers in HS that never AA'd at the D1 level. Hopefully Braxton Amos can get healthy and finish his career strong next year so he does not end up on this list.

Well okay then..

Ridge Lovett would be on my list without the anime pose lol

125 - Caleb Smith - Seems like the best teammate. Always the first to celebrate with his guys 133- Nic Bouzakis - Feel for the guy with the loss of his brother 141- Brock Hardy - Fun style of wrestling and good ambassador for the sport 149- Ethan Stiles - Complete wild man 157- Brandon Cannon - Great story coming back from cancer to compete at a high level 165- Peyton Hall - Seems like a great guy 174- Cade DeVos - Great leader and teammate. Always impressed that he is able to juggle pharmacy doctorate program and D1 wrestling 184- Parker Keckeisen - Probably the easiest guy to pick on the list. Always offensive on the mat and great outlook on life off the mat. 197- Stephe Buchanan - Very humble and grounded young man 285- Wyatt Hendrickson - How can you not pick him after beating Gable?? HM for me are KOT, Dustin Plott, Josh Barr, Ryder Downey, Caleb Henson, Bennet Berge

I wonder if there will be any sanctions against Little Rock for the Brennan situation...
