pish6969 267 Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Of course Iowa should be #1 preseason. Not debatable. They’ve won 8 of the last 9 team titles, they have 7 returning AA’s, 3 of them being past champions. What ranking service wouldn’t rank them 1 to start the season?

Cael's already shown he won't take any chances if he thinks someone has a remote chance of knocking them off, so I don't really see a scenario where he redshirts outside of injury.

Conel coming off an injury and a year off after a 3rd place finish is ranked 12 at the same weight? Has Conel enrolled at PSU for sure? Kemerer is a much more consistent performer than Conel. Conel has one thunderous tournament. His last full season, he had the following losses: Corey Griego, Christian Brunner (by major), Joe Ariola, Jackson Striggow, Scottie Boykin (by tech), Jacob Holschlag, Aaron Naples (twice!), Preston Weigel (by tech), Ben Darmstadt, and Mike Machiavell (by fall). SOme good losses in there, but also some blowouts, and also some losses to some really middling D1 wrestlers. That doesn't include any medical losses. Kemerer lost to Micah Jordan (by fall, though injury relate, the match actually terminated) and Jason Nolf. He has one MFFT and one INJ DEF. They're not even close to the same thing.

And 174 isn't really that deep to be "much more difficult than 197".....Injuries are the only reason to not give Kemerer the credit he deserves. He has shown to be the 2nd best 157 behind Nolf the 2 years he wrestled. He just got Palacio'd at his first NCAA's to take 3rd and then had Nolf on his side of the bracket before losing to a guy he owned for 3rd due to injury. If healthy, he is in the top class with Hall and Amine at 174. 60-6 in 2 season with a 3rd and 4th place finish. 3 of those losses are to Nolf. 1 to Palacio, 1 to Jordan and an inj. def. to Berger. The guy is much better than he is credited for. 1. Mark Hall Penn State Sr. 30-1/2nd 2. Myles Amine Michigan Sr. 22-4/3rd 3. Mikey Labriola Nebraska So. 30-9/6th 4. Jordan Kutler Lehigh Sr. 25-6/7th 5. Michael Kemerer Iowa Sr. Injured/2x AA-157 6. Devin Skatzka Minnesota Sr. 30-11/8th 7. Taylor Lujan Northern Iowa Sr. 26-7 8.

Both of his best wins are during the best tournament of his life. Is it possible that he suddenly jumped levels between MACs and NCAAs? I guess. But more likely he just got hot. The obvious variable is he's in the Penn State room, but it's entirely possible that one of their freshmen is the better wrestler.Also, neither of them has wrestled in a year, and wasn't Conel's injury back or neck related?There's just no way to reasonably argue that Conel should be ranked higher in his weight class than Kemerer based on the composition of both weights. You guys aren't worried at all about the weight jump? I like Kemerer a lot... he's about as solid as they come, but the weight isn't irrelevant. If he wrestles Labriola tomorrow, who are you taking?Not really, no. I'm worried about the injury, but I just think he's straight better than everyone besides Hall and Amine. I'd pick him over Labriola if healthy.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's just no way to reasonably argue that Conel should be ranked higher in his weight class than Kemerer based on the composition of both weights. Imagine Conel and Kemerer both wrestled last year. What would their preseason ranking have been? Kemerer? 3rd if he was at 157 would be my guess. Conel was 3rd at NCAAs. Every ranking service would have him 3rd at the end of the 2018 and both finalists at his weight were graduating seniors. Some ranking service would have had him as the preseason number one and it wouldn't have been outlandish. Rankings aren't predictions for what's going to happen in March they are based on results and past accomplishments. I think the Conel injury was his shoulder.
