ontherise219 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I feel like 120 is the deepest weight right now. You have like 8 guys with a legit shot at a title. Cash, Hughes, Wilson, Phillips, Garcia, glogouski, Martin schoettle. Should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegraypanther Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have to agree. There are some that are not ranked that are giant killers too. 106 is shaping up to be a pretty stacked weight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdo^it135 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I agree that 120 is one of the tougher weights and I really like the Freshmen Drew Hughes to come away the winner. Really tough kid with great coaches all around him. I think the state champ in this weight is whoever puts in the most work to peak at the right time. I also like 126 and 152 from a depth standpoint.

ontherise219 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 That's a rough week for a regional runner up I think 32 is real deep too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 138 is deep... Forte is favorite but top 5 in that weight are legit contenders.. 152 is top heavy with top 5 guys... 160 seems to be McCloskey than everyone else... but that weight is loaded with a lot of wrestlers with similar styles and ability... which will make for a great tournament..

1oldwrestler Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 106 has a bunch of roughnecks for sure. The ability to predict a clear favorite has really been clouded these past couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the little guys don't matter. I think we should just do away with 106 and add another heavier weight class. All of the 106 pound kids cut to much weight anyways.

Raging Hornet Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Why so we can watch some more awful big kids no thanks ??? There are a lot of solid 106's compared to a lot of putrid heavier weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 All of the 106 pound kids cut to much weight anyways. no other weight class has wrestlers that "cut to much weight"???? I would be surprised if they are cutting more than any other weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benni hanna 79 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Awful heavier weights? The heavier weights are more exciting because the kids that step out on the mat are athletes with legitimate strength. The 106 weight class takes away elements of the sport like strength and conditioning. It plays a bigger factor in the heavy classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everone with eyes can see that the top 10% of the 106 pounders are way more skilled than the top 10% of the heavy weights. There May be 5% of the heavier weight kids that can even take a shot.

1oldwrestler Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Gotta love aoberlin! Hijacked the thread and gonna get people off on a "heavies wrestle a different style, it's still wrestling, just different" vs "lightweights actually know how to wrestle especially compared to the dancing bears at 285." And finally, all the heavy supporters will throw out their patented "Sliga knows how to wrestle and he's a heavy" to which I would like to ask "and who else besides Sliga can you name?"

Caleb Spires Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 120 will be crazy the second day of state. 126 has one of the best top 4 from any weight. 160 has a somewhat clear #1, but 2-8 will be pretty unpredictable I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 170 are athletic, some 182's, VERY few 195's, even fewer 220's. Hvy is almost stupid. The fact the #1 hvy lost to a marginal Bburg 220 is all you have to say about Hvy weight.
