TOM Pre Season Rankings

[NothingMeaningful]

I thought Yianni was going 49 this year? I guess we'll find out.

Yianni is going wherever it bests suits the team. A lot depends on Josh Saunders: Yianni said if Saunders comes in as a tiny 149 lber, Yianni would move up. If Saunders comes in as a full-sized 149, or Hunter Richard can beat him for the spot, Yianni stays at 141.

Haven't looked at their rankings, but I would guess Yianni.

Ivy League has cancelled fall AND winter sports. Where will Yianni end up?

The Ivy League hasn't canceled winter sports. They postponed the start date until after January 1st. They have canceled all fall sports

When I spoke with him at the Edinboro Open he expressed interest in going up to 157.

What is his pedigree? Not that familiar with his credentials. I can see 149 and 157 possible opportunities for a few. He came in unheralded.

4 time Utah State champ. Division 1 caliber soccer player. Bio-mechanical Engineering major and really nice kid. He still looks like a kid, and will clearly gain a little man muscle as he gets older. I seem to recall another pretty good wrestler that came out of Utah...

I patented his nickname “Bear Claw” by the way. So back off fellas

Looks like a coaches farting competition.

If that's what it is, then I don't ever want Cael involved. With these guys, at least you know it's coming.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Here are the PSU freshman All Americans in the Cael era with their pre-season freshman rankings and the points they scored at NCAAs freshman year:

Taylor - 6th ranked, 19.5 points
Ruth - 13th ranked, 18.5 points
Megaludis - 19th ranked, 18 points
D Alton - unranked (Intermat), 15.5 points
Retherford - 13th ranked*, 12 points
Nolf - 5th ranked, 22 points
Nickal - unranked, 18 points
Joseph - unranked, 23 points
Hall - unranked, 22.5 points
N Lee - unranked, 11.5 points

* I can't find preseason rankings from 2013, but in late November (when he was already 7-0), Retherford was ranked 13th by USA Wrestling (Here's the link: https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestli...2013/November/6/Week-1-DI-individual-rankings)

The take away for me ... preseason rankings don't have much to do with what happens in March.

How awesome is it that a TF is damn near our highest scoring freshman at Nats?

 

[District four]

Barraclaugh might make an appearance in the lineup.

i hope so diamond in the rough that kid wish he would fo 149

Well done. I appreciate the morning chuckle:

I think I saw where the mighty PS wrestling team doesn't have a #1 rated wrestlers in any weight class for the start of 2020! When would any of us thought that could happen with all the $$$

I have found the end of season rankings more reliable.

I’m sure he’d never heard that one before!

It is funny to see the smugness erode as our kids who lost to the likes of Andy McCulley just a short time before turn into killers. And reality intrudes

Actually, he told me that some of his friends call him "Bear Claw", shortly after he arrived on campus in September. Also, it's in his bio in the PSWC October 2019 newsletter.

@Chickenman Testa is merely engaging in China-style after-the-fact intellectual property squatting.

Here are 2 examples from my 2016 trip to SE Asia. Top from the Temple Street Night Market in Hong Kong, bottom from Macau. In both cases, note the ridiculous knock-off company/brand names.

Honorable El Jefe - you know too much. By the way, have you downloaded the Tik-Tok app I sent yet?

Jefe is Mark Hall! Because Hong Kong and Macau are in Southeast Asia in the same way as State College is in the Midwest.

Well, they are in SE Asia. Also went to Cambodia and Thailand on that trip.
