even the coaching staff can see it IU had a great light weight coach and he didnt stick around either

i thought that was kinda stupid but ive seen the ncaa do some crazy things with tournament seeds before

I think that the ncaa tournament will show how good they aren't. They are a good team but their conference isn't even close to the competition they will see at NCAA's also their mascot the Panther isn't even a real animal

You realize they didn't wrestle a very tough schedule right? How do you think they would do wrestling the top 5 big Ten schools?

Any idea why a 4 time undefeated state champ would be going to Northern Iowa to wrestle instead of a better wrestling school?

I was watching the Illinois single A state finals and the announcer said how good the kid was and if he wasn't in single A he would be the kid everyone was talking about instead of (can't remember the name) some other kid

not sure on the truth behind it but i saw that he had over 500 wrestling matches with only one defeat

yea he looked really good Howe i think could have wrestled better but i still think there was a definite case for a fall late in the third

when i first heard it i dug into it and im pretty sure i found something on it. i will have to look again i suppose

y2 you sure do have quite a few posts since you said you were done with this and agreed with me.

The only way I see it logical for their stats to go towards the class they competed in instead of their actual size would be if schools couldn't play regular season games against schools that compete in a different class

Not sure why you quoted there bit if you are looking at stats by class (which is based on school size not choice) then it should go to the class their school size puts them in

there is a long list of celebrities, presidents and other people of interest that have wrestled. here is a great link that shows a few. if there are any you know of besides these i would like to see them. http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-wrestled-in-school/ranker-celebrities?format=SLIDESHOW&page=1 if you know of their success post that as well i know Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) was a two time state champion in florida

sorry i meant median that is the way they deal with outliers in some instances but for example if schools number of state qualifiers 8,3,3,3,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 the median is a zero that would probably be the case with all three classes

yea that is probably the case

Russian Wrestling System vs U.S. vlady's pictureOctober 20, 2010 - 9:36am — vlady 2010 was again a successful year for Russian wrestlers. They dominated in all big international competitions. Many people in the international wrestling community (particularly in the U.S.) are trying to figure out the success of the Russian Wrestling System. My opinion of why Russia dominates is that the system is built on deep wrestling traditions with tremendous financial and political support. Here is a comparison of the Russian Wrestling System to the U.S. The Russian Wrestling System is built to develop World and Olympic champions. This is what kids want to be when they start wrestling. In Russia, most kids start at age 10-12 yrs. and have 2-4 tournaments per year. Kids do not usually cut weight. At cadette and junior age (14-16), athletes wrestle 4-8 tournaments per year and cut on average 4-8 lbs. a couple times per year. The majority of wrestlers do not burn out mentally or wear out physically when they reach senior level. In Russia, the average wrestling practices runs for 1 & 1/2 hrs. At the kids level, the system focuses to develop wrestling skills (flexibility, agility, coordination, etc.) and basic technique. Most of the practice time is spent playing and drilling. Live wrestling runs for about 5-10 min. per practice. At cadette and junior level, athletes develop more complicated technique and spend a lot of time in different wrestling situations and positions. They still do not spend a lot of time live wrestling. At the senior level, wrestlers polish their technique and tactic and focus on physical conditions. At all age levels, practices are short but high intensity. In the U.S., a kid's goal is to be a State champion. They start wrestling at age 5-7 yrs. and wrestling 10-15 tournaments per 4-6 months season. At age 10-13, almost all wrestlers in U.S. cut weight. I saw a 12 yr. old who cut 14 lbs. for a State tournament to wrestle in the 74 lb. category!! Also, I saw a 15 yr. old who cut 20 lbs. to wrestle at Nationals in the 95 lb. category. Parents of both wrestlers encouraged and pushed their sons to do this!! In the U.S., at all ages, wrestling practice focuses to build condition. The duration of practice is usually 2 hr. or more and live wrestling is a big part of the practice. Kids are bored and lazy to learn technique. Parents and coaches are not patient and want immediate results. By college age, half of wrestlers burn out. Only a small percentage still want to wrestle after college. In Russia, big bonuses and incentives are good motivation to wrestle. Usually all of the best wrestlers are provided with career opportunities by government or businesses. While athletes wrestle or they finish their sport career they know they will have a good job. This is very important for the Russian Wrestling System. In U.S., wrestlers don't have opportunities like this. Only a few can afford to wrestle 10-15 yrs. at the senior level. The U.S. can beat Russia in wrestling some years. But to dominate the World constantly, the U.S. has to create a wrestling system that is better or at least competitive to the Russian Wrestling System.

the problem with that is the mean would probably be zero for all three classes if that were the case. since the number you are looking at is how many state qualifiers each team had there would be allot of teams that have zero. id imagine even the 3A would end up with a zero in that situation

Anyone getting a kid to cut any amount of weight before high school needs to get their priorities straight

Everyone says they should be treated like an outlier yet they continue to put their numbers with the big schools. I've been told to look up outlier. I looked up how statiticians deal with outliers and I never once saw them put the numbers in a complete different category which is what you are doing when you put their numbers with the 3As.

Using the number of schools as a starting point is a silly way to do things considering there are nearly the same amount of schools in all three classes but there are over 150,000 more students at the 3A as to 1A

Maybe you should do the math for yourself instead of using y2's lies. ..EMD is a small school

That is correct

3A 188,805 2A 74,009 1A 38,069

here it is class.........pop%........state qualifier %......students per state qualifer 3A............62.75.........64.28.......................1311.14 2A............24.59.........26.78.......................1233.48 1A............12.65.........8.92.........................1903.45 so graphing out a single year class 2A gets the nod here but i thought the big schools somehow had an advantage???
