awood1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Clearly we have a group of 4 (or even more) wrestlers in this weight class who are essentially even and any one could beat the other on a given day so here is what we have to do... Force each wrestler to wrestler the other three at least 500 times (like a Monte Carlo Simuation) keep record of how many times each defeated the other and then look at overall record vs the others ranked in the top four. Then and only then will we know who should be ranked #1 at 130lbs OR ....we throw them all in a cage with Ditka and see who lasts the longest!

6minutes Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 well harper lost both matches at 130 cash bumped up to wrestle him and porras...and bumped twice to wrestle spencer.... i got an idea just rank cash #1 at 125 and 130 then none of you cry babies could complain about the top guy....other than doing that the rankings i believe are correct harper is not the top guy this year big deal he is still going down as one of the greatest indiana high school wrestlers of all time...winning state 3x's and prolly 3rd as a senior that would be a high school carreer that no one can dispute but as far as being ranked #1 plain and simple he is not the top guy this year end of story GET OVER IT I do like the idea of ranking cashe #1 at 125 and 130 though ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash513 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The final rankings (the only one that really matters) should be posted February 21, around 9:00 p.m. Did you come up with this on your own??? I am just playing you are absolutly right. It is just a thought that gets echoed on this board in just about every post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justafan52 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 As for Porras ! A great wrestler , but he looked like he was struggling with Cashe at Al Smith tourney He really wasn't struggling with Cahse very much. Minus his injury time and maybe 1 or 2 costly mistakes but it was definetly closer then what the score indicates. It's not like Porras couldn't take him down. And I agree with ThatOneFan..Frankie's never wrestled Cashe before, and Spencer probably knows his techniques fairly well. Put Spencer up against Harper or Porras...I think i know what the outcome would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx4 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 WOW things have occured that should be discussed. #1 and #2 falling to the same kid back to back. How did Harper/ Porras turn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest renegade Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 barlow beating cook and spencer.. cooks win a fluke???.. demarcus overrated?????... congrats mr barlow .. conseco should be very interesting at 130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 My vote for #1 is Frankie Porras his only loss this year was to Cashe He didn't get a Chance to wrestle Harper but did have some Wars last year. But really we should just Rank Cashe #1 at 119, 125 and 130 since he beat all of the top guys at Both weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx4 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Spencer overated???? VS Cashe 10-9 & 11-9 in overtime. I think Barlow deserves a little credit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler60160 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I do think Barlow earned his credit this weekend. It just opened up 130 even more to probably 6 wrestlers that has a chance to win it if it is thier night. I would think that Harper, healthy, is still the front runner but it is not a gimme like the whole state thought at the beginning of the year. It has become a very competitive weight class.

Guest renegade Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 i also agree but i think possibly that barlow could jump porras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx4 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Maybe Barlow just had a lucky day. # 3 may be just a little high or beating #1 and #2 actually rates #3 ranking. I don't know and I'm glad it isn't me figuring it out!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMcMurray Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Harper is hands down the best technical wrestler in the state! :-X The kid can wrestle... oh and i think he knows how to win too! Being his 4th time under the lights, he'll keep his composure and come out with a W! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx4 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I didn't say he wouldn't. I just think maybe Barlow might be just a little overrated. But not much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bx4 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Harper is one of Indiana's best wrestlers of all time. But he can and has got caught. Under the lights he is lights out!! Barlow had a great day and has never faced Harper. He has never went to state. He however deserves the credit for downing #1 & #2 IN BACK TO BACK MATCHES. I'm not going to argue the rankings. When you are a 3 timer you are on top, but don't for a second think Barlow can't stay with anybody at 130!! That includes Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No One Famous Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 There is something to be said about "being there before," and I think Harper will put it all together, again, and win it. I would guess Porras would have the best chance against since he wrestles him more often...but that goes both ways. With all the competition at 130, it will be a great tourney!

SecretSanta Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I honestly think Barlow will only qualify for State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
