Coaches are allowed to coach just as they are any offseason event during the spring or summer.

Jacob Ricks at 198 is listed as a Sophomore. Last year he was a Junior at State. I understand that a kid could flunk but have never seen one flip backwards. Or am I the dummy and this is a different Jacob Ricks?

My guess it was an input error by whomever signed him up.

97 signed up as of now
Last year this time we had 19 signed up

Six states already represented!

113 now. Assuming the next 3 weeks continue to pull in more wrestlers it should be a very good preseason tournament.

Some pretty big names are already registered. I hope even more decide to participate.

Never been...looking forward to it!

Too early for predictions, (given that more wrestlers will register), but I'm curious too hear everyone's thoughts when we get closer.

Stud list updated, 28 state qualifiers or better out of 107 HS wrestlers. That is over 25% for you math majors.

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 26, 2012, 07:18:33 PM »

We have six states represented and have 105 more wrestlers signed up at this time as we had the same time last year.

No Nick Lee this year?

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 28, 2012, 07:35:16 PM »

He has 9 days to pre-register and can even walk up and register on Saturday. Most people don't register until the last few days.

The 116lbs weight class is absolutely SICK!

116 David Bavery- Ohio 2012 106 State Champion 2011 103 State Runner-Up Ranked #13 by Flo
116 Nathan Boston- Indiana 2nd, 1st State FloNationals 2nd
116 Kyle Akins- 3rd, 4th Illinois
116 Hayden Lee- Indiana 3rd State
116 Allan Mock- Indiana State Qualifier

Just this weight class will be worth the price of admission!

If you are looking for a place to stay for the IHPO the La Quinta Inn in Auburn has a great deal of $68 for the night plus tax. Just mention the IndianaMat wrestling tournament for the great deal.

Might have Nick Lee in the weight class as well. That would amp it up a little more.

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 29, 2012, 03:32:17 PM »

Well you need to add a Tennessee runner-up in Jon Boatman. He just registered and makes up our 7th state.

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #37 on:** August 30, 2012, 05:00:24 PM »

5 out of 9 entries at 173 are state qualifiers, pretty good weight already!

hoosierdad · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2012, 05:25:26 AM »

Isn't Nick Lee in like 7th grade?

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2012, 05:33:17 AM »

Nick Lee is an 8th grader this year. He was in 7th grade last year and I am going to assume he passed all of his classes and advanced to the next grade level.

WrestleMan · « **Reply #40 on:** August 31, 2012, 09:28:16 PM »

What will the criteria for seeding be? If two guys are both state qualifiers who gets higher seed? If there is a two time qualifier would he seed higher than a one time qualifier?

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 01, 2012, 04:45:56 AM »

The criteria may be a flip of the coin in a case like that. Many times when we have kids who both have the same criteria the seeds that they are looking at are virtually the same such as a #2/3 or #4/5. The criteria we use is very vague with the goal of just separating the best wrestlers in mind.

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 02, 2012, 07:53:40 AM »

Just updated the stud list, 43 right now which is 20% of the wrestlers signed up!

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #43 on:** September 02, 2012, 06:47:17 PM »

6 of 12 wrestlers at 173 at state qualifiers or better....extremely high quality at one of the upper weights.

Pretty sure the Michigan kid was a SQ which makes it 7 of 12. Add in Lefever and Hollins and it looks to be a tough weight.

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 02, 2012, 07:34:43 PM »

Yes he is, I guess I missed that one

wrestlin4food · « **Reply #46 on:** September 02, 2012, 07:52:43 PM »

Will strength of state play a factor in seeding? Will having 3 or 4 divisions hurt a guy in seeding over a kid from IN that only has 1 class?

I meant Carson Whaley. Saw a bracket the he qualified at 152. Does that make 8?

In a way yes, but Indiana isn't always the toughest due to being single class. Ohio, Illinois and Michigan all have extremely good qualifiers.

Y2CJ41 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 03, 2012, 06:39:45 PM »

Well Nick Lee is registered and so is a Fargo AA at 116lbs. This will be a sick weight class!
