2012 Rankings Trended Forward (106-132)

[Magilla]

If we start with the final 2012 Rankings and:

- Remove graduating Srs
- Add missing 2012 State Qualifiers
- Move all Fr and So up one weight class for growth
- Have everyone keep their previous rank #
- Resolve ties to the Jr/Srs

We would have the following starting rankings for 2013:

NOTE - Each kid has been "aged" 1 year, NO incoming Freshman factored in...

I bet 5 of the 6 wrestlers you listed at 106 never make 106 again. Silva ranked at 113 makes a lot of sence since he just wrestled 100 in Fargo, not!!! Rundell at 113? He just wrestled 120 in Fargo. Triche ranked at 106???? Triche was in a 130 bracket at Pinning down autism bracket in July.

[James_Oliva]

I'm also going to guess that the guy you have ranked 11th at 132, you know, the defending state champion, probably won't be ranked there.

[shoeshineboy]

I agree this guy's a pud.

[MSMW]

Highly doubt both Sikula's will be both at 113 for the same school.

Gentlemen, this exercise was purely mechanical. No account was taken for heads up matches, state placing, nor weights wrestled at any off season tournaments. Is this the likely initial rankings - not in a lot of cases. I think what this list does give is a viable candidate pool of top wrestlers at each weight. This is likely the same exercise a lot of wrestlers are doing right now as they try to figure out what weight they want to be at come season, be it in their own teams lineup or strategic positioning for the big dance...

So, a giant waste of time. Got it.

James Olivia posts: 1667 (plus filmed events, etc for the people on this site. & I don't think he ever mentioned a "pud" - which is regional dialect even in Illinois...)

- The statement should be reversed..., this is the post that gets kicked around all year, so, as he mentioned, he just was getting the ball rolling...obviously Kris Williams, etc. will be much higher depending on the weight he wrestles, etc...but rankings of little importance anyway...

[CONDOR]

I agree. During this slow time with no real wrestling going on I appreciate the guys time and effort. It is virtually impossible to predict what weights most of these guys will be at. With teams changing classes the 1st set of rankings will be interesting to say the least. There is 1 thing I can guarantee though about those rankings and that is that people will post on here how so & so will never see that weight and that Tom should be ranked higher than Dick and why isnt Harry ranked.
