Pre-Season Rankings List - Need Input

[admin]

Below you'll find our latest IHSA class AA pre-season rankings list (in no particular order). We need your input before we release our official pre-season high school rankings, which will rank the top 10 wrestlers at each weight. We've projected each wrestler's weight based on early feedback, last year's weight, and spring/summer weights. We will accept input via email, pmail, and message board replies through Friday. Special thanks to Jaguar for compiling this list.

[nwmatfan]

Admin,

At 171 you have Sterling Hecox wrestling for Hononegah, he is a freshman at Machesney Park Harlem.

[admin]

Admin,

At 171 you have Sterling Hecox wrestling for Hononegah, he is a freshman at Machesney Park Harlem.
Fixed. Keep the corrections coming. We are most concerned about weights and missing wrestlers.

[Mrs. Fattler]

At 103 you mean Joey Uccardi, not Ronnie right?

Any expectations for Jon Morrision at Carl Sandburg?

Don't forget Tommy Ambrose at Providence.

[MR TWISTER]

Seperate White of SR and Zimmerman of Sr. No way they are at the same weight. I would start with Zimmerman at 1140 and White at 152. that has to be close.

[Jaguar]

Ambrose is a freshman?

Twist, I had heard White would be at 145 again. It makes sense for Zimmerman to drop to 140 (if he can get there). Who would go 145 if Zimmerman drops and White bumps up?

[US8sleeper152]

at 140 you have kyle lowmen on there twice... and scott carlson (wauconda) at 135 and 140.....at 130 you have 3 wrestlers from Neuqua...also at 125....

[FreedomRings]

Ambrose is a freshman?

Twist, I had heard White would be at 145 again. It makes sense for Zimmerman to drop to 140 (if he can get there). Who would go 145 if Zimmerman drops and White bumps up?


Jack Downs Sr or
Dennis Wilson Jr

[Jaguar]

Leinfelder was on the list before I was told that he moved to Neuqua. The Neuqua situation could be interesting. They have guys bunched up at those weights who are all good enough to start for most high schools. I don't know where it will all shake out. If you have any insight, let us know.

[funk em up]

Oster will be at 130 and Stenberg either 135 or 140 for Lockport.

[Jaguar]

Are you sure about Oster? I saw him wrestle this summer, and he was pretty big.

[62kilos]

Andrew Spangler Fr Neuqua Valley
Colton Rasche Fr Montini
Ronnie Uccardi Fr Montini
Seth Bonic Fr Morris
Keith Surber Fr O’Fallon
Matt O’Boyle FR Marion
AJ Suarez Fr Joliet

Why are these guys even on the list? They are good but probably are not a factor this year. 103 should be a pretty tough weight class with bj, nowry, morris, and roth.

[Jaguar]

Spangelr and Ramos should not have been on the list last year by your thinking, and they were #1 & #2 in the State. They are listed for possible inclusion in the pre-season top ten. At this point, the jury is still out regarding who will end up there. Even then, the pres-season top ten is just an educated guess, even more than the in-season rankings. A year can make a big difference for some kids. The ones who put in the off-season wrestling and conditioning may just pass some of last year's studs who did not. Some kids mature. Some fade away. You should note that I did not include too many freshmen at any other weights, but 103 almost always has freshmen who place. Other weights do too, but not in the same numbers.

[MslWrestler119]

Joe Barczak of Grant was a senior last year.

[Williams+2]

Kent Williams is only a Soph and will be going 103.

Kyle Williams will be going 125.

[CoachA.J.]

62 kilos, if you didn't keep up with ikwf or any national tournaments these wrestlers are the top around and should make a difference.
I'm sure all of the wrestlers have heard who they are.

Good Luck To All.

[Jaguar]

Thanks. I enjoyed watching Kyle at the Greco duals. He is a tough kid and a good wrestler.

[funk em up]

Are you sure about Oster? I saw him wrestle this summer, and he was pretty big.

Yea im sure. He might not start out there but he will get down there.

[mckbln]

I still don't know the weights for Bolen and Rogers (OPRF). They may be 135-140 or 130-135lbs. I will let you know. Also, Ellis Coleman is now bigger than Lillashawn, so it may be Ellis at 125/119 or Lillashawn 112/119. Kowalczuk will definitely be at 285lbs.

[KeEp WrEsTlInG]

I was just reading the rankings and i see some guys who took fourth in sectionals and the guys who beat them arent even on the listings.... im just curious on how that is?

[UltimateDefense]

if u have brett nagel at 189 u can't forget about george donovan. he beat brett at batavia last year!

[Jaguar]

KeepWrestling - Share you knowldge with us. We do not know everything. That is why the lists were posted. Give us the fFacts that we are missing.

Where is Donovan from? What year in school? Who else did he beat?

[admin]

I just updated the rankings list based on your feedback. Keep it coming...

[wrestler275]

Larry Baca from Glenbard East should be on the list at 125 took 2nd in the DVC and regional champ beating pearl from york

[UltimateDefense]

donovan is from argo and he is a junior. he also beat steve kernats 2 out 3 times. the 1st time he beat him in overtime, and the next time kernats got pinned, and lost in the semis of sectionals. he took 1st at hinsdale south, 1st at batavia, 2nd at oak park, 1st at confersnce and 2nd at regaionals

[Jaguar]

What year is Baca?

[KeEp WrEsTlInG]

at 125 Tom Anderson of reavis beat terrel webster of DLS in overtime at sectionals sendin anderson down state

[MslWrestler119]

So.Danny Fisher-Highland Park 112/119
Sr.Mike Mahan-Batavia 103/112
Sr.William Putnam-Marist 119
Sr.Jared Morar-Waubonsie Valley 119/125
Jr.Josh Schell-Moline 112/119

[jolietjake]

donovan is from argo and he is a junior. he also beat steve kernats 2 out 3 times. the 1st time he beat him in overtime, and the next time kernats got pinned, and lost in the semis of sectionals. he took 1st at hinsdale south, 1st at batavia, 2nd at oak park, 1st at confersnce and 2nd at regaionals

he didnt see much quality competition. he MIGHT make it to state, but i wouldnt count on it.

[wrestlermaniac275]

Im thinking jordan walsh being he took first fresh/soph state and beat lembas and basically everyone in the 280 bracket was a varsity wrestler should be moved up further than close to the endbut thats just me

[wrestlermaniac275]

and how do you have 2 kids from montini in the same weight eathier goebel or lembas have to go and im thinking lembas since goebel is a femoninal wrestler

[grapplingfan]

and how do you have 2 kids from montini in the same weight eathier goebel or lembas have to go and im thinking lembas since goebel is a femoninal wrestler

Lembas isn't very tall, he'd make a great 215. anybody know if that's the plan?

[CROSS FACE CROSSED EYES]

Either he (Lembas) starts cutting quickly or he makes a good-size practice partner for Goebel. My prediction is Lembas wrestles @ 285 next year.....at Plainfield North.

[Jaguar]

Jordan Walsh is on the list, and, ummmmm.... ;) we will have to see where the chips fall at Montini. But, I think they will both be 285 pounders this year, and they are both worthy of mention on a pre-season ranking list.

[Jaguar]

MSLWrestler, I agree those guys may all be hanging around to do some damage this year. The pre-season list was based on late season performance (Sectional qualifier with 25+ wins, State qualifier, State placer, high Fr/So State placer, etc.) There were a few other guys thrown in there based on past performance (Tolbert, Fitzenreider, Jahn, Kernats, etc.) The guys you mentioned have not quite made their mark yet, but they are certainly in the hunt. For instance, I saw Danny Fisher beat Caitlyn Chase at the Mustangs off-season tournament in March. Putnam and Morar were in tough sectional weights. Schell fell is very tough; I have seen him wrestle. I have added them to the list for now, but they may fall off when we have to come up with the top ten. then, it will be up to them to knock off the guys ahead of them and earn a spot.

[wrestler275]

Baca will be a senior this year

[MR TWISTER]

at 125 Tom Anderson of reavis beat terrel webster of DLS in overtime at sectionals sendin anderson down state

I remember Anderson. He seemed pretty solid wrestling Webster. He lost to Morgan by fall in the sectional final but you can't count that because at the time Morgan was ranked second in the state at 125. What was impressive was he wrestled Webster well in the semi's when it counted, thus should be rewarded for being a State Qualifier.

[Jaguar]

Anderson was on my original list that I had pared down. I put him back on the list, but keep in mind that only the top ten will ultimately be ranked. We have talked about starting with a "best of the rest", and it looks like we will do that, but I don't know how long we will keep it as the season goes on.

[robbewc]

Byrum from Granite City I doubt will wrestle at 171. He wrestled 160 at the JR Greco Duals in OKC this summer. He may even go lower.

[josh]

Byrum from Granite City I doubt will wrestle at 171. He wrestled 160 at the JR Greco Duals in OKC this summer. He may even go lower.

Byrum will probally be at 152 he only weighed about 155 last year.

[WSCfan19]

however pearl beat baca in the gbe/york dual, and offseasons are taken into account...

[WSCfan19]

#6 campbell @135 was not only beat twice by york's mac tovey, but was also pinned the second time they met...just a thought.

[Clubber Lang]

I kno for a fact that campbell from new trier is wrestling 130 all year and then might go down to 125 he is currently weighing in at 132

[Jaguar]

WSCfan, the lists are not rankings yet. They are just lists. They are in order based loosely on regional, sectional, state results. Your information is appreciated.

[leftsingleleg]

at heavy weight nick Bledsoe of wheeling will be good this year..he lost a close wrestle off to a SQ last year.. this year he is fairly unknown but we'll hear from him. overall wheeling is going to be good this year..( not many big holes)

[DTANBT]

Watch out for plainfield central this year...They have some new freshman killers...And between there 125 through 152 pounders went eighter to fresh/soph state or varsity state. There gonna have a hell of a year, if they stay healthy.

[dancewithme0085]

fagianno listed at 215 is going 189 this year. Brennan listed at 125 is going 119. Danny Miller Hoffman Estates should be listed at 189

[dancewithme0085]

why would bledsoe be ranked? just cuz hes a big boy thats good at football because hes so much bigger than everyone.. has he ever wrestled varsity? just because hes good at track and football doesn't mean hes one of thebest wrestlers in the state he couldn't beat the kid from wheeling imo isn't a good wrestler

[Warrior88]

Mickey Young at 130 is from Peoria Woodruff not Richwoods.

[Jaguar]

Please explain why Danny Hoffman should be listed. Who has he beaten? Make a case for him with facts to support it. If the rankers don't know him, an anonymous opinion is not going to count for much. Give us a reason to put him on the list.

[eaglepride07]

where's hall from lakes community. This si his 3rd year as a starter, and he's a two time sectional qualifier. he only lost to Clinton by a point, and beat hoy ion their second meeting last year.

[Jaguar]

Thank you for responding. What is Hall's first name? Year in school? Record from last year? Other notable wins? Losses?

[WSCfan19]

He's making the jump from 12 to 25??

[datonedude]

I think Lucky Ferguson of Grant should be considered for the rankings he only lost to ramos by a point last year and he beat joey callen who is ranked and he also beat ben johnson who took 3rd at 135 last year and mike dace of grant will probably be at 160 not 171 he's a B.A.

[Jaguar]

I am familiar with Lucky. He has put in off season time and could have a break out year. He has come up short at the end of the season in the past, but I agree he is a person to watch. What weight will he be at? That might make a difference whether he gets into a top ten ranking or not. After that, it will be up to him to beat the people he needs to.

[tada]

I think the Highland Park 112 will be tough. His name's danny something. Fisher maybe. He's fast. Also I saw Mickey Spiwak wrestle 112 (he was bigger last year) over the summer and beat some of the kids that are on the 112 list. I also saw Maldanado wrestle tough against Pousson at 119 losing 8-12. He's a freshman to watch.

[datonedude]

he going 145 this a heard

[leftsingleleg]

matt smith weights 173 now and he will wrestle 160.. abel rangel weights 156 will wrestle 152.. both from wheeling

[leftsingleleg]

kyle logsdon ..no way he is making 135 this year.. he wrestling 140 or 145.. he got so much bigger during the summer and barely made 135 at... greco

[carlos]

maldonado will be at 112#

[eaglepride07]

His record last year was 32-7. He started off slow because of not many matches in the off season. He lost to hoy from wauconda, the third match of the year, but then defeated him at regionals. He also beat resendez from mchenry, and the heavyweight from stevenson. His big losses were against jack danilkowicz, and Jon bentch. He could not match their strength, but this past year he was in the weight room everyday for football. I believe he will be a tough competetor this year.

[WrestFF]

Dan Olsen Jr 145 is the ILL Greco State Champ at 145 and Mike Santiago Sr will most likely go 160

[jmt0519]

is Danny fully recovered?
