i have no doubt that limmex will be ranked. actually, i can tell you for sure, he WILL be ranked as soon as i pull seniors. he didn't just win, he did it impressively. he's a beast.

this is one of those cases where i wish i could just rank on what i thought, as opposed to a more rigid process. but that wouldn't be fair to others at 132 who had proven it at that weight class.
as far as other MI guys, Oliver will be ranked when srs are moved as well.

Brandon Mohr 1 month ago

Great explanation. Limmex needs to be more consistent. His DNP at Super 32 hurt him. He is tough as nails obviously, but we will see how he does over the summer and fall. I am sure when it is all said and done, he will be a top 20 guy next year, possibly top 10. I don't know if he can beat Weaver, Hall, or Oliver, but all of those guys are tough kids.

Brandon, i don't rank kids based on what they certified at. i rank kids based on what they wrestled. Limmex never made a weight lower than 132 during the season, and made 131 for flo. 131 isn't 126. 5 lbs is a whole weight class higher.

my policy (except in odd cirstances) is to rank a kid only at the weight he competed in at the state tournament.
yes, i had Bade ranked at 126 because that was the lowest weight he wrestled in during the season. the moment he weighs in for the state tournament at a higher weight, that becomes the weight he can be ranked at. which is precisely why he isn't ranked now. Bade is rankable at 126, but not (imo) at 132.

Willie,

Your rational is understandable, but not consistent. Ken Bade wrestled 135 all year outside of two weigh-ins, but you still had him ranked at 126. Nate Limmex weighed in and certified below 126 just like everyone else. You are punishing a kid for Michigan having archaic rules. His weight class, 130, is between 126 and 132. He wrestled at 126 at his latest tournament. He should be ranked there. It is what it is. Consistency is what is needed in rankings with rational.

You're right Mr. Saylor, Spencer certainly didn't destroy Bannister. I don't want to diminish anyone and certainly not Bannister who is obviously a great wrestler.

That said, I had to give extra props to Spencer for pulling off a high risk and insanely athletic move FTW over Bannister. Have you seen the video?

Willie Saylor 1 month ago

i really like RR-S, and had him ranked at some points before. but he's been up and down including a bad Fargo last year.

also, he did not 'destroy' bannister. he got a td at the buzzer.
not close to top 5 at this point, at least until SR's are removed.

Don't take Todd Rodriguez-Spencer's word for it since he's obviously a homer, take my word for it: leaving Renaldo Rodriquez-Spencer off your top 20 is crazy.

Spencer went up to 138 and destroyed everyone including your #4 138 at the NHSCA tourney. I'm pretty sure he was MOW as well.
Forget about top 20, he should be top 5.

Someone to watch out for and he is a sopre is Charlie Perella. He won the 132lb weight class in MD and pinned the returning state champ in the finals. He wrestled at Fargo last year and placed 4th @ 126 as well. I know MD wrestling doesn't get to much mention on here but keep an eye on him because he is going to make some noise.

Todd Rodriguez-Spencer 2 months ago

Wondering when Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer finds his way back into the rankings at 132? He has continously held spots 17-20 on intermat all season. 2013 NYS Champion, 2x NYS finalist, 2012 (132lb) Fargo Junior Nationals 3rd place, 2012 (60kg) FILA Junior Nationals 4th place finisher(Greco) All American, 2012 (63kg) FILA Cadet Nationals 3rd place finisher, 2011 Freestlye All American Fargo National (Cadet) 4th place finisher.. 2013 47-0 season New York State Champion? I certainly challenge the void of these credentials on this weight list?

cole walter just lost to an unranked wrestler at regionals this weekend

Wrestling Fan 3 months ago

Maybe this is just because I'm from PA, but I really think that Cole Walter from Mifflinburg, PA should be ranked. He has shown that he is one of the best, wrestling many of these top ranked kids, like Nolf, McKenna and Diehl in tournaments like Powerade and King of the Mountain. Being a two time Fargo 5th, seems to me like he should be ranked quite respectably.

I guess we'll see how he does against Nolf in the state semi's this weekend!
Thanks for reading my input!

Smith was suppossed to be 16 this week. that's where i put him but i forgot to change the number and the uploader read his "9" and kept him in the same spot.

same thing happened at 152.
fixed now.

Moore has a history of beating Smith so it comes to no surprise to alot of the Oklahoma fans who know their history. Smith gets alot of praise for all the wrong reasons. He was runner up at Fargo this year but wasn't competitive in the finals. Smith is a top 20 wrestlers but should be ranked #16. As far as I tell, Smiht has beaten one wrestler below him, Cole Weaver #17 at Cadet FS Duals this past year.

I watched the match live and I was surprised how their neutral position defense was easily penetrated. I've seen Joe wrestle in the past and he has better defense than what he wrestled that day.

The finals match between Keegan Moore and Joe Smith was one of the best I've ever seen. Joe seemed a caught off guard by Moore's quickness, but still came back and took the lead in the 3rd period with under a minute left. When Keegan escaped the feeling that he was going to get a takedown was strong. These two great wrestlers, who are just sopres, will likely see plenty of each other over the next couple of years. Hopefully they will both follow the family tradition and go to OSU. I know it had to eat at John Saturday night, being in Minnesota while his boy was in the finals back home. I would have like to seen what Keegans twin brother would have done at 138 if he hadn't been injured. Zach Moore has only lost 3-4 matches in the last 2 years, but injuries held him out of regionals both years.

Jeske loses to Dennis Gustafson in the state semifinals and dislocated his elbow. What a great match feel sorry for the kid. Had the the top two wrestelers in the state in the same bracket. All i can say is what a great match and give props to Dennis for winning the state title.

Jordan beat Heil again tonight in Eds/Graham duel...4-3!!!

Anonymous Coward 4 months ago

heil stuck gulibon, and dance multiple times. enough with him not being where hes ranked

Anonymous Coward 4 months ago

That does make sense. If the #2 wrestler beats the #5 wrestler, he should move to #1. I mean, why wouldn't he?

Anonymous Coward 4 months ago

Everyone knows the best wrestling is in PA & OH . When has ST. ED'S EVER GONE TO DOC B? Pico's school has always come to ironman! I tried to ask Heil if he cared where he was ranked and he said he never looks and will not talk to anyone about rankings or give any interviews anymore. He dosn't like talking about other wrestlers, and they slsays ask questions a put pther kids he will pr have wrestled. He says we work so hard for people to put us down no thanks that's not me. Dean even had good things to say about Pico. It was a pleasure talking to him. He volunteers a lot of his time in his community helping kids that are bullied and speaking to kids about drugs and alcohol! Dean is such a great kid and a great role model!

I would think Heil would have to come after Pico and beat him. Pico spent the money to come find Heil in his backyard and Heil couldn't make the final. Heil had an open invitation to Doc B (Pico's backyard) and opted to not make the effort to come wrestle. The opportunity was there and he didn't take it. It's time for those in the east come to the west to claim or take the #1 spots. West coaster have had to do that forever. Besides Pico was robbed at Super32.

Bc he beat Pico and was ranked higher than him until his loss to Jordan at Ironman.

Willie Saylor 4 months ago

No. why would Heil jump Pico?

Anonymous Coward 4 months ago

Willie-
When Heil beats Jordan this Saturday in Jordan's home gym will it be enough to put Heil back on top where he belongs...or does he need to beat Pico AGAIN?

McKenna is too high at this weight where he has yet to prove himself he should be more like 10 or 11

agree, idk how mccrystal is ranked behind wilkes... mccrystal handled him

Bill Gaukel 4 months ago

Willie, Glad to see IA boys Ryan and McCrystal in the rankings. Check out Fall Brawl 2011- McCrystal smoked Chris Wilkes 6-1 and then pinned Sam Crane in the Finals. Enough to bring Brian Smith out of the stands to see "who in the hell is this kid?". JMO, but I think you have to move Fisher, Ryan and Mc up and Wilkes and Rodriguez down to 19 and 20.

I would think Pico would love to wrestle Heil again, but Heil needs to be able to make the finals. Is that pico's fault Heil couldn't make it to the "anticipated match up" Heil had his chance to convince all of us he was the best 132 pounder in the country and wasn't even able to make the show. Pico is the best 132 pounder in the country. Jeske had his chance at the Super32 to wrestle Heil and pico...he didn't make weight at 126 and refused to move up to 132. Jeske went home! Jeske couldn't handle pico, heil, or Jordan.
