FLO just released their preseason college rankings.

125: Spratley 6th (Lilledahl 1st)
133: Forrest 1st
141: Unranked (Stanich 1st)
149: Vega 1st
157: Robideau 1st
165: Lockett 4th (Duke 1st)
174: Facundo 14th (Mesenbrink 1st)
184: Ryder 8th (McEnelly 1st)
197: Merrill 2nd (Barr 1st)
285: Doucet 1st

Pretty damn good. Four #1 ranked wrestlers to start the year, a #2, #4, #6 (way too low), #8, #14 (seems low), and unranked (won't happen).

I don't have any trouble with these ratings. We have 4 wrestlers rated 1st, Merrill 2nd, Dee rated 4th Troy rated 6th, and Ryder 8th. In the past they have not rated true freshmen, but I see they rated Bassett, but he is going to be very special. I believe a Raney will wrestle 141 and I am looking forward to seeing 1 of them in the starting lineup. I think a Raney will move into the rankings early and keep rising and be rated to be an All American soon. I don't believe Facundo will be our 174 because I expect Norman to take the position. Facundo should not be rated high based on his performance at Nationals, but I don't think he will be our starter. Flow's mistake is missing who will be our starter at several weights. I don't think that Doucet or Ryder will be our starters.

Again, I don't get even close to reading every post on this thing and obviously missed it but how is Swiderski listed as 165 on the roster?

My opinion they plugged in guys for Penn st and Oklahoma st to maximize the points so it better reflected the team race. Davis 141 instead of Ono or Desmond. Facundo over Norman and Doucet being ranked instead of Ross

I don't think Facundo's ranking of 14th is better than what Norman would've gotten in a way that shows up in the team score.

If they're trying to maximize points, they should have put Tagen at 141 instead of no one. Let me stop you before your weight cut comment, Tagen is listed as 141/149 on the latest roster.

Yeah, this is exactly what they did.

Honestly, they can't say things that tip inside info, so they have to!

I was overthinking it. I think they just left Davis, Facundo and Doucet the starters because they were last year and it's August and they've not lost the spot yet

... thus why is Flo so clueless?
He was the starter last year and hasn't lost his spot yet. I believe that's the way they're looking at it now that I have looked at everything again. Instead of making assumptions they're going with the starters from last year. They're not clueless they talk to people daily on staffs

How cool is it to see Konnor "Big Comanche" Doucet ranked #1 at Heavyweight?!? I don't think anyone could have predicted that! And here we are arguing about whether or not he will be the starter. Pretty dang awesome... :giggle:

Flo knows that we as well as psu have options at 141 that are AA tier. In the case of a Raney at 141 for us, you cant rank him due to no college matches. Sliding in Tagen or anyone else is just speculation at this point. In some cases the coaches dont even know who will be where yet.

I find it much more intriguing who they have for psu from 157-174. Also the team race is now at 25.5 points between us and them.

I don't have us winning by that much...
