P4P: Zain As It Ever Was
Is Zain Retherford the best folkstyle wrestler of his graduating class? The argument in his favor is certainly stronger after Kyle Snyder's loss to Adam Coon. Snyder drops a spot and Zain claims #1, the same as it ever was according to Retherford's most ardent supporters.
Coon's P4P win (he's had quite a few other in his career, e.g. Gwiz, McMullan, Telford, Nelson, Medbery, etc.), moves him from #10 to #6.
Elsewhere, Vincenzo Joseph's loss to Alex Marinelli drops him down to #11, while Marinelli debuts at #20, bumping Missouri's Daniel Lewis out of the P4P top 20.
