Bkelley14 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Anyone else listen to FRL? They gave Indiana some love today when they were answering questions from listeners. Ben Askren and Christian Pyles named us as a top 5 hardest state to win State in. Then they mentioned us as one of the best state championship atmospheres. And then they shouted out Ocampo for placing! Coplen187, piscis1956, Chapdaddy and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on my bucket list to go to Cali and watch their State Finals .

Even the lower ones have so much talent it would be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahawkeye Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Sorry I think PA would hurt us pretty bad. I'm not up on present day rankings but between PA and OH I think we'd win a few but not most. AnonymousLeprechaun0125 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousLeprechaun0125 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Indiana is very hard to win obviously, and the winner is always competitive on a national level. But in terms of depth I wouldn’t put in in top 5, maybe top 5 for hardest to win however. MUSKEEWRESTLER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically anyone in the top 5 is capable of winning a title. There have been recent years where 7 or more of the preseason #1's were basically locks. piscis1956, Justin Ratliff, AnonymousLeprechaun0125 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a stud in your weight you can’t luck out and be in one of the other 3 divisions like in other states, you just don’t get to win that year. if you think about it, states with 3-4 divisions have 2-3 wrestlers every year who wouldn’t be a state champ if there were no divisions. pjayroza, Coplen187, MUSKEEWRESTLER and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always impressive to me to see the wrestlers PA turns out that go away to assorted colleges/universities and inevitably cross paths again to have a rematch of some high stakes PA high school match, but on the NCAA scene..happens quite often. piscis1956 and Ahawkeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the point. We're consistently around 9-12th in overall talent depth nationally--but in terms of winning an individual state title, we're up there a notch higher because of the forced depth of the field compared to other states. piscis1956, Jon H, MUSKEEWRESTLER and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
