Coached a really good heavy at Sr Nats in Cleveland that faced Arthur Jones In R16 (I think) and Arthur was super explosive on his feet for a HIgh School Heavy. To this day, I really think Arthur could have been a multi-time D1 AA had he pursued it.

What is the “Seeding Criteria” ? Every Confetence seems to do it differently.

Agree, but, Moody did get the first 3 takedowns vs Pic before getting stuck on Sunday.

Where is moveurfeet32 now that Hofstra is having some level of success ? He has gone out of his way MULTIPLE times in the last year to "crap" over Hofstra & their Staff. I am not a NY guy (look at my username), an EIWA guy, or a Hofstra supporter....... but his continual bashing has made me pay closer attention to Hofstra. Their recent success/improvement deserves a positive mention.

I overall agree with this take. I much prefer the Monday & Friday episodes because I can hear about some of the 70+ Programs NOT called Iowa or Penn St. The main episodes devote more than 90% of their time to less than 10% of the Programs. I have also become a big fan of David Bray.

Dual started at 157. 157 : Robb gets taken down with @ 20 sec remaining in match and loses to Lewan by 1. 165 : White cruises. Loses MD via late escape with under 10 sec 174 : Labriola wears his teammates singlet (Ruettiger - Rudy's nephew) on Senior night. Tech Fall. 184 : Venz handles Embree. Thought this match might be more competitive. 197 : Schultz by regular decision over Striggow. Expected bonus here. 285 : Parris wbf Fall over Jensen in 1st period. 125 : Medley dec Thomsen 6-1 Nebraska - 15, Michigan - 12

This. I also wondered about the change being due to the Olympic Year, hence, my original question to ThePirate about this reduction being a “1 year thing”.

Why was it reduced to 15 ? 17 data points makes the metric a more meaningful and relevant statistic. Were they concerned that too many wrestlers would not acquire 17 matches ? I would rather see 20 matches as a RPI minimum since this is only one prong of three used. Wrestlers can still receive an AQ spot without the RPI.

Per the "2nd Coaches Rankings" released today, there are 10 wrestlers from the Big 10 ranked between #6 & #22. This will be a crazy Tournament at this weight in particular. IMO, this weight class will be one of the most entertaining at NCAA's as Seeds will NOT hold from the first round on.

Is the drop from a 17 to 15 match minimum for RPI just for this season or is it a permanent change ?

2nd Coaches Ranking : 1. Sasso – Ohio St. 2. Lugo – Iowa 3. O’Connor – North Carolina 4. Mauller – Missouri 5. Lewallen – Oklahoma St. 6. Lee – Minnesota 7. Clarke – American 8. Storr – Michigan 9. Pohlmeyer – South Dakota St. 10. Thomsen – Northern Iowa 11. Kolodzik - Princeton 12. Zacherl – Clarion

NCAA just released their update of "Most Dominant Wrestler" Standings. Not sure why Spencer isn't listed ? Match minimum ? I calculate a 5.0 for him in 13 matches. NK NAME SCHOOL WEIGHT AVG. TEAM POINTS 1 Zahid Valencia Arizona St. 184 4.89 2 Nick Lee Penn St. 141 4.88 3 Pat Glory Princeton 125 4.74 4 Mark Hall Penn St. 174 4.72 5 Mason Parris Michigan 285 4.41 6 Shane Griffith Stanford 165 4.29 7 Kollin Moore Ohio St. 197 4.27 8 Noah Adams West Virginia 197 4.25 9 Ryan Deakin Northwestern 157 4.20 9 Tanner Cook South Dakota St. 165 4.20

My exact thoughts while watching Zahid gas and hold on to a 14-10 win. Going into last weekend, I favored Zahid to win the Hodge. After the weekend, I now favor Spencer (despite his 8-1 win).
