FCFIGHTER170 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 hour ago, Caleb Spires said: Yeah that was the one that sticks out to me as well. A ton of guys with very solid careers. At the time it may not have been known how tough all the guys would be, since most were freshman and sophomores, but looking back there were a lot of placements between them all when it was said and done. Yeah he does, no quit in him. Last off season he actually had a win over Mills the exact same way. Was down 4 going into the third, got a mid-period takedown and then another late takedown to take it to overtime and picked up the win. Even dom price that was 6th at ss that year was a stud who placed thr next year.. and those 4 that did make it through all ended up Indiana legends...Campbell with 2 of the craziest title matches ever..mckinley throwing keifer on his head in the finals for the pin was nuts...Todd literally jumping over Brooks to avoid a takedown In the finals was epic.. and Harvey was a killer in his own right!

Wrestling Shoe Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 In addition to the obvious kids that will be at state, there are a lot of kids who could be dark horses and punch their ticket a few weeks from now. Lots of studs looking to take out the higher up boy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them even made the finals. Here is the bracket Javier Salas won the weight and Reece Freeman beat two state champs and finished 5th. He won state the next year. So in total there five present or future champs in the weight. He won with a sweet fireman's on bracket buster Blake Harner from Norwell. His match with Williams was a classic.

At the state finals: Ayersman, Beck, Campbell, McKinley, Todd, Harvey -- Plus the youngsters Welch & Crume All 8 guys wrestled under the lights. Those guys were 119 and 125 that year. I would say 112 in 2010-2011 was by far one of the most impressive weight classes. I'm not even sure if all of this is right, but the weight class looked like this: Year Place Other State Appearances Jr. Alonzo Shepherd- 8th (6th) Jr. Paul Petrov- 4th (2nd, 1st) Jr. Mason Todd- 1st ( 5th, 3rd) Jr. Sam Goebel- Did not place (7th) So. Schuylar Phillips-Did Not Place (2nd, 3rd) Sr. Abraham Que- 7th (2x qualifier) Fr. Blake Denton- Did not Place (3x state qualifier) Jr. Cody Phillips- 3rd (1st, 1st) Jr. Jarred Brooks-2nd (5th, 1st) Fr. Kyle Jolas- Did not place (5th) Sr. Luke Schroder- Did Not Place (3rd) Sr. Dominique Price- 5th Sr. Brian Orzechowicz- 6th Other notable competitors in the weight class- Fr.

So that could set up a few crazy 126 ticket round matches. Maybe rooks/Willis or mills/egli or Garcia/ egli or rooks/Garcia. Matches that could be under the lights at the bank with different draws.

I would say that NHSCA, Flonationals, UWW, etc. are just as important, if not more, as talent evaluation tools for college coaches. However, I don't think our state tournament is a waste of time, as a piece of the recruiting process. I'd go as far to say that, in most knowledgeable wrestling circles, it's pretty highly regarded for its difficulty. Brown boys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying this for awhile now that Semi-State should have wrestlebacks. How it's setup now isn't the most optimal tournament to get the best kids to state. I would say the same thing about regional aswell DLane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling4EVER Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Considering I lost all 4 years in the ticket round by 1 or 2 points with 3 of them being to the State Champion. I've always wondered how it woulda went down if we had wrestle backs.Im sure there are thousands that have wondered the same thing. I don't think it's asking something unreasonable. The crazy part is I have yet to talk to anyone who was against it. Wrestling Shoe and throw45 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several coaches that we talked to during recruiting didn't put a lot of value into the placements of our tournament. Obviously, the champ is the champ and deserves the attention as it's one of the toughest State tournaments in the country, but the fact is our placements really aren't true placements without wrestlebacks. I'm not trying to open Pandora's box, but more than one coach mentioned how dumb a first round match of Colton Cummings vs Alec White was last year (the year before it was Triana vs Cummings in SS Blood Round). One has to win and one has to lose, but the fact that the loser can't come back to place seems absurd, Of the 2 coaches we talked with who actually came to our State tournament, each watched Friday night and then left on Saturday morning for the Illinois State Tournament. Their reasoning was they preferred to see more kids wrestle in a State with class wrestling, than the limited bang for the buck in our State. Everyone said our State tournament environment was awesome, but no one liked our State's format. I'm not trying to turn this into a 25 page topic, but that's what we heard straight from multiple D1 coaches.

I was always amazed when I first came to Indiana that they didn't have wrestlebacks at the state tournament. Every one brags about the ticket round. But its sad to see so many talented wrestlers make it to state, then 1 just match. The ticket round in Ohio is on Friday which is there second day of the tournament. Its just as exciting as Indiana's, but its more legit because the better wrestlers are funneled through the wrestle backs.
