It’s pretty difficult to get everything wrong in one post. Kudos.

The fat lady ain't sung yet. https://www.nj.com/highschoolsports/2025/03/njsiaa-requests-stay-says-judge-didnt-understand-rules-in-controversial-wrestling-decision.html

Competition has started, and he's still in the bracket (receiving a bye in the first round). They didn't add the in-n-out guy.

They'd better get hopping on redrawing that bracket. I wonder if they will let the guy who replaced Knox into the tournament. He happens to represent...West Deptford. That would be wild if they let him in, and he comes up against Knox.

Not that long ago, Noah Baughman lost to defending NCAA champion Darian Cruz 1-0 in the EIWA final, and became the only EIWA runner-up to not qualify for the NCAA tournament, as like this 125 had only one slot.

Pretty sure "no harm, no foul" doesn't come into play here.

Lewis Fernandes used to do this all the time (it was his signature move). For instance, go to about 7:30 in this video: Another:

Take it up with the State of New Jersey: https://nj.gov/centralnj/

As I live in Holmdel where SJV is located, we are not North Jersey.

Just in (news to me). A very bad look, indeed.

Short of continually updating the brackets that I see here (https://highschoolsports.nj.com/wrestling/brackets/season/2024-2025/9958), how does one find out the "final answer?" How did those people draw the brackets simply by looking at results? Was this like people here who guess at who will be seeded where based on past results? Seems like a lot of work.

Knox is now listed as the #1 seed in the Region 7 state bracket at 126, so not likely he was DQed. All of the SJV wrestlers who qualified out of District 25 are also listed in the Region 7 brackets.

What did Vito do the year before at 61kg? Just curious if he was the same in 2023.

Not a GOAT, but Gabe Dean (3,1,1,2 isn't shabby) was pinned by Ed Ruth early in his freshman year.

The police blotter involves theft (or, in wrestling vernacular, stealing something that he didn't earn).

If they have traditional brackets (not round-robin or teammate stuffing), I believe they count. See the "Dresser Dump" thread in which you quoted "This is consistent with the value the committee places on traditional formats, (dual meets, individual/dual advancement tournaments), and conference tournament participation to meet the selection criteria". But I know less than nothing, so there's that.

FWIW, Mesenbrink scored 3.5 bonus points at NCAAs last year, which put him well behind Shapiro and KOT who had tournament-high 7.5 bonus points each. Keck had 6.0 bonus points.

I tried to figure out how Shapiro can be seeded #1 at NCAAs, and it ain't an easy path to figure out. First, he's gonna need to enter a last chance tourney to get his 15 matches in for an RPI. Given that all four guys *really* ahead of him (Kasak, Taylor, Miller, and Teemer) will be in the B1G tournament, three of them will get losses which will give Shapiro the edge in RPI (10%), win percentage (10%) , and conference performance (15%) over those three. No H2H (25%) with any of them, nor common opponents (except one with Kasak and two with Miller, all wins) (10%) so that's a wash. I don't think he has a lot of quality wins (20%), so he'll likely lose that criterion. And we now see where the coaches think he belongs (10%). If Miller or Kasak win, they're the #1 seed.

Because the coaches voted for Kasak, Taylor, Downey, and Miller ahead of him? Is this a trick question? Have they ever seen him wrestle?

Yeah, and without Teemer in the voting, Meyer Shapiro is the #5 guy at 157.

The definitive answer, as I suspected:

Cornell match is in Phoenix as the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, while the Oklahoma match is in Tempe at the ASU arena. I'm (obviously!) looking for the Cornell dual.

I did, and it isn't there. That doesn't mean it won't pop up between now and then.

Nothing on their schedule.

Remind me of what the ref did that threw the match, undeservedly, to Ferrara.
