I'm older, so I'm JB when he's not wrestling. We came to that agreement. There's Burroughs, Burkert and me who have this understanding. 

You could do your own version of that Toyota “Jones” ad from the Super Bowl.

Mike Poeta has to see that and feel hope for the future of the Illini. Now just gotta keep em home.

Shame on me for not pointing out that Mike Storniolo not only feels good about the future, but the present, too (what with 10 qualifiers this year).

Three Illinois starters.

Caveat: One of them is Jack Jessen. He of the 1 win all season prior to the 9th place matches at B1G. And of course, those matches didn't even count for the team score.

Has a wrestler ever made the NCAA tourney with zero regular season wins?

Fabian Gutierrez, 125 lber from UT Chattanooga, went to Adams City HS, which is in Colorado not Tennessee.

Even though Pennsylvania had the most individual qualifiers, they aren't able to fill out a full team due to a lack of 125 lber.  There are three states that can field full teams.  I tossed Pennsylvania's 9 in the table below with their opening bout forfeit

Illinois	New Jersey	Ohio	Pennsylvania
Noah Surtin	Nick Suriano	Dylan Shawver	(Forfeit)
Michael McGee	Chris Cannon	Lucas Byrd	Austin DeSanto
Real Woods	Sebastian Rivera	Allan Hart	Cole Matthews
Austin Gomez	Mike Van Brill	Tariq Wilson	Sammy Sasso
Austin O'Connor	Michael Petite	David Carr	Ed Scott
Dean Hamiti	Shane Griffith	Alex Marinelli	Jake Wentzel
Adam Kemp	Mekhi Lewis	Benjamin Pasiuk	Carter Starocci
Abe Assad	John Poznanski	Kaleb Romero	Trent Hidlay
Eric Schultz	Jacob Cardenas	Ben Smith	Nino Bonaccorsi
Tony Cassioppi	Lewis Fernades	Matt Stencel	Jordan Wood

 

Ryan Miller wrestled for Blair but I think is from Stroudsburg, PA

Does Joe Smith count when he dropped from 174 to 165 for Big 12's?

Not for the purist, but sure, why not?

I forgot to mention that Jessen's sole victory during the regular season was against a back up junior who wrestled exactly zero matches each of the last two prior seasons.. It just keeps getting better.

Pretty amazing showing by Bergen Catholic. Everyone knows about Blair. It's a boarding school and can recruit nationally. I would think it would be MORE dominant.

But BC is really more a football school and has no boarders. 

And what happened to St. Paris Graham?

Bergen Catholic assembling a team of middle school all stars from all over north and central Jersey...impressive, yes...amazing, not so much

The real question is. Are they honest about that? Or do they do the Graham and pretend it’s all homegrown

NJ is good, but many of its wrestlers are from out of state.  The data overstates NJ in that way.

It's meant to represent the high schools they graduated from.  In that sense, I think it fairly characterizes the New Jersey High School wrestling scene.  It's a different type of analysis than one based on hometowns with different types of conclusions you can draw

Blair alone skews it, and they are not really part of the "NJ HS wresting scene."   Love the work you put in here but hometown should be based on the town listed on the roster - that's what the person is defining their hometown as.

Blair is on the prep scene which is a different dimension I haven't yet added here.  But they certainly are a school in New Jersey.  I think if you were reading this as a hometown breakdown, that is the problem.  It's not a hometown breakdown and was never intended to be.  It's about their high schools.

Blair isn't really on the prep scene in NJ either TBH.  Bergen Catholic competes in NJ states.  Blair does not.

Haha I see you didn't address the other point which is fine.  I trust you understand what this is doing now (not showing hometowns).  Yes that's right, but it's about the location of their high schools.  There are those prep schools like Malvern and Wyoming Seminary that compete with Blair in Pennsylvania and in other states as well.

Malvern is not a residential prep school. Possible that they could get kids commuting from Del, NJ, or maybe MD, but I think a high % are PA kids.  Not an easy commute from nearby states.

[vsnej 199]

After ramping up their recruiting efforts with sing-on bonuses, travel stipends, family job placement, etc., Delbarton has supplanted Bergen Catholic as the top wrestling team in the NJSIAA. *

The New Jersey high school scene is a composite of public, private, prep, schools like other states.  That is a noteworthy analysis as you mention.  But that's not with this is doing.

Hometown is a cool analysis because it is fun, but I don't know how much it tells us.

The reason why I like the high school aspect is because it provides an easy data point to then pull in high school success rates (whether they won states or their respective leagues titles) and looking at how high school success correlates to college success (and whether we should expect higher correlation from some places)

Yes that is true.  But not particularly relevant to this thread.  (as noted above)

Hometown tells you what state the guys are actually from.  I don't know how much counting Blair as NJ tells us, since a lot of their guys are not actually from NJ.

It's really only Blair and Wyoming Seminary that I can think of that fall into this category, where they are boarding schools that do not compete in their respective state's tournament.

I believe Ohio has open enrollment, so nothing to pretend.

And just to be sure people understand, St Paris is the name of the town.
