That is a good point. i may have mistook what alum said. It is just that everything i say on this site he disagrees with so we tend to argue. I think the rankings are good for a school like ward that doesnt have the name recognition and program like an Aquinas or something like that. Having wrestlers like him is how programs grow. that is the way i was looking at it. I guess that what i am trying to say the rankings arent a bad thing. they mostly bring a positive light to the wrestler and the school.

P.S. Queen Pin, I believe that kids do care about who they are compared to. Wrestlers are very intense and competitive. I am not saying that they are obsessed about it, but they are interested.
