I did not post this new topic to be an A S S or to complain how the rankings r wrong. I know that Coach Newcomb and all the other ranking coordinators work hard to get these rankings together. So please do not take offense. I am just a bit confused on some of these results....
A few questions:
- Why is Cory Dreiling ranked 5th @ 125lbs when he took third last yr. He is ranked behind guys that he did better than last yr.
Example, he beat Charles Knox at state last yr in the consolation finals and Knox is ranked 1st in the weight class. Have i missed something? If he beat the # one ranked guy and is the highest returning placer then shouldnt he be ranked 1st? maybe i am wrong and he was beat earlier this season by the guys ranked ahead...
- Why is Jared Patterson not ranked at all at 140lbs? He is a returning SQ and 3rd place state medalist at 135lbs.
I also understand that he wrestled at a tourney at 140 and plans on going 140. Is he not ranked because his coach did not turn in the maize rankings sheet? And if this is the case then why not just put him in the rankings? one knows that he is wrestling 140 and is the ranking coordinator allowed to use his common sense and rank him or does he have to see official maize coach paperwork to confirm this? If i was a ranker i would just put him in, but maybe there is some unwritten rule that one just doesnt do this.
- If a ranker uses good judgement and uses his own opinion about a wrestler that has a coach that hasnt turned in his team rankings sheet, can he still put that kid in the rankings? I have seen in a few weights where it is barren(ex. 119lbs, 6A) and i know just off the top of my head that at least one kid should be ranked that isnt at 119lbs, 6A. That kid is Tim Munyan. He to me is a very capable individual that should be ranked.
Also Kenny Aubry(sms, 135lbs). He has is a returning SQ, undefeated and has beat a ranked Aaron Bartels twice and yet is not ranked. I figure those two probably arent ranked because their coaches have not responded to the ranker. So i ask again, can u put these kids in w/ good judgement even though their coach did not respond to u?
- Just wanted to correct a few errors:
Rankings say following r not placers, but are:
- Tommy Edgemon(GOD), state champ; Chino Elsrode(OLS), 3rd place medalist
Rankings say following r placers, but are NOT:
- Nick Shumate(BVNW), Brandon Budd(BVW), Kelvin Patterson(WSE)
Yet again, i just am curious about those questions and not asking them to be a smartypants. I really appreciate all the time and energy spent on the rankings!!
