NCAA Rankings 2018-19
165 Vincenzo Joseph
Isaiah White amassed three losses already in the young season, but he rebounded nicely at the CKLV, winning a stacked bracket with victories over Logan Massa and Mekhi Lewis. He gets ranked fifth for his efforts.
Logan Massa had a schizophrenic tournament in Vegas, tech-mauling Demetrius Romero 18-0 in the quarters but losing 9-6 to Romero in the third-place bout. Massa also dropped a 6-2 decision to White.
Branson Ashworth lost to Massa and Mekhi Lewis, but his wins this season keep him from falling further than one spot.
Romero, whose only other loss this season is to #2 Evan Wick, jumps up to #8, and Lewis, who also has a loss this season to Connor Flynn, climbs to #9.
Although he didn't wrestle this weekend, Ebed Jarrell's win over White looks more impressive after ZayZay took home gold at CKLV. Jarrell rises to 15, while Andrew Fogarty falls due to inactivity and lack of quality wins.
The rest of the field lacks quality wins and/or has taken losses, keeping the bubble guys on the bubble but the last guys in the top 20 perilously close to dropping out themselves.
