He did nothing wrong when?

I’m sure it is, I’m just not sure it will work. I think guys will either risk further injury when they otherwise wouldn’t, and coaches will try to find the minimum amount of time that would constitute “wrestling occurring.”

IIRC but could be wrong, I don’t believe he was kicked out of Bergen Catholic, and I believe the rumor about Blair was more due to Anthony (although of course he’s in IC as well)

Still not sure if I like this, I feel like this will encourage guys with non-serious injuries to do some “actual wrestling” when they wouldn’t have otherwise. I didn’t think there was a problem with the 1 second injury defaults to begin with since they counted as a loss. The issue seemed to be when coaches would do it in extra matches (are any schools still even doing extra matches?) or against a teammate which they already corrected by making matches against teammates not count.

Thanks. I remember forgetting something about that. Seems kinda silly though, would 5 seconds constitute “actual wrestling”?

I don’t think he has much chance against Brooks. Hidlay could be interesting. Also looking forward to seeing him wrestle in a dual against Oklahoma State

I think they’re pretty good overall too (as are yours) but that one was a headscratcher IMO. I mentioned in another thread that he seems to use more of “the eye test” where you try to stick with results only. Both have their advantages and disadvantages…

Yep, if you were to ask me what ranking decision made the least sense it would probably be Intermat just now putting Crookham at #1. If they had Fix over him before, beating Nagao shouldn’t have changed that

I was kinda surprised that Voinovich is ranked 9th. I guess Anthony could be ranked there based on his win over him. No clue where they put AJ to start. I’d think in the top 10 at least but there are a lot of good dudes there. He’s definitely in the race for 2nd though.

The search on the website doesn’t always work but you can just google Myles Amine wrestlestat and it should come up. You might need to create a wrestlestat account though

I don’t see a problem with having some at large bids. But I think a tournament to determine the last spot or 2 or 3 would be amazing

Btw @ionel here’s you being the second person to respond to the thread where that tweet/post was originally posted here. So congrats, you successfully trolled me.

Intentionally obtuse it is

Yeah I would’ve thought Gilman at least…

I wrote out what he said. “Ben Kueter’s wrestling plans have changed in light of the gambling suspension for Hawkeye wrestling at heavyweight.” If you don’t think that’s saying something about Cass then you’re being intentionally obtuse

Surprising that no one would challenge Richards, no?

Lol, yes he did

Wait…is that a no to my question?

I think it’s more about not thinking Carr should drop 2 spots for losing 1 match due to Ramirez losing his next one. This is actually consistent with what they did with Vito. Rather than making Fix 1 and Crookham 2, they put Crookham to 1 and kept Vito ahead of Fix. @Jon_Kozak, is it safe to assume Ramirez would have went to 2 had he beaten Olejnik?

I don’t know why, but he did. He did not name Cass specifically, but said that “Kueter’s wrestling plans had changed in light of the gambling suspension for Hawkeye wrestling at heavyweight.” I assume you’re trolling and have already seen this, but you never know these days

He’s the one who confirmed Iowa’s plans are to use Kueter at heavyweight

C'mon the Cassioppi angle is silly. Does any ranking service currently have him ranked? I guess there's a slim chance he's back, but right now the assumption has to be he won't be. I don't think they're being inconsistent here. They're not dropping guys "due to inactivity," they're dropping guys if other guys do have activity that gives them better resumes. That's what happened at 125, where Provo beat the same guy that Camacho did to get his #1 ranking. No one is going to pass Fix unless they beat Vito or Crookham, and no one is going to pass Hendrickson unless they beat Kerk. Now I do think at some point some of these guys that haven't wrestled a match should not be in the rankings at all, but that's a different argument.

Maybe following up on my other thread...Pat Glory. Unless I missed one, looks like he was the first champ from an EIWA or MAC school not named Cornell since Darian Cruz in 2017. Andrew Alirez maybe another one.
