    RAJR reacted to Bulldog89 in Unlocked Potential   
    Agree on Riley Lefever.  My son Owen wrestled with him at Wabash.  Owen made it to Nationals his freshman year in (2017 placing 7th All-American) and Riley was going for his 4th Title that year.   He was 35-3 and had only lost to D1 wrestlers (but beaten more than he lost to).  I have never to this day seen a more dominant wrestler.  We just knew he was going to win every match.  Coming into the Championship bout we needed Riley to pin his guy for us to get 3rd as a Team.  He went out and looked like he wanted to enjoy the moment for a period then he pinned his guy in the second period and Wabash was 3rd ahead of Johnson & Wales  62.5 to 61.5.  Just an incredible accomplishment for him and the whole Wabash team and fans.  What was even better was at the after party, as the fans and coaches and wrestlers were having the time of our lives and passing the NCAA Team trophy around, I found Riley and my other son Easton, then 11 years old,  in the corner of the restaurant talking at a table about wrestling.  Riley was asking Easton about his recent tournament and asking him how many take downs he had and how many points he scored.  Not just a great wrestler but a great human being!!!

    The criteria I was given when I ask about the seeding was as follows:
     
    1. Min of 5 matches wrestled
    2 State Placer in 2023
    3 State Qualifier in 2023
    4 Semi-State Quarter Finalist in 2023
    5. Semi-State Qualifier in 2023
    6 Middle School State placer in 2023
    7 Regional Qualifier in 2023
    8 Winning Percentage
    9. Most Wins
     
    Top 4 total agreeance after that the order is questionable to me, but this is what they have in place.  Which is why seed at 165.  Regardless of seeds should be some good matches.

    One interesting tidbit early is that a bunch of Ohio kids missed weight...kinda. Per Ohio rules in order to get an extra pound your team MUST wrestle the day before. So basically a few Ohio teams got a pound and then everyone else. Sounds like the emails about the allowance were hard to follow.

    RAJR reacted to Y2CJ41 in Article: 15 Years of IndianaMat   
    By Anna Kayser
    In 2008, IndianaMat emerged as an informational resource for high school wrestling across the state of Indiana, filling a communication void and connecting the wrestling community from border to border. Fifteen years later, it continues to serve as the epicenter of the Indiana wrestling community, from providing feature stories on prominent athletes to weekly rankings across regions.
     
    This is the story of how it began.
     
    For years, a message board run by the Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association (IHSWCA) served as the main source of communications for wrestlers, fans and coaches – both high school and college coaches looking to recruit – on lineups, rankings (loose rankings, if any at all) and results.
     
    It was late-November, peak holiday and weight-cutting season for wrestlers across the state with less than one month of official practice under their belts, when the message board got hacked and effectively rendered useless. There was no Twitter – or X, as it’s now known – to provide instantaneous information like there is today. Facebook was just gaining traction, officially surpassing MySpace as the most used social media app earlier that year.
    “[The message board] was your go-to place to get wrestling information,” Joe Caprino, creator of IndianaMat, said. “You didn’t have access to cell phones and such – everyone was communicating that way. It was really popping at times, especially during the season.”
    The old message board served as an initial connection for wrestling fans in the state, which is how the trio of Caprino, Chad Hollenbaugh (who had previously coached with Caprino) and Eric McGill ­(a former two-time state champion at Munster High School and Cornell University wrestler) formed to create a new information center.
    With the first week of competition looming, there was a frenzy for information and no resource to turn to. Caprino, Hollenbaugh and McGill knew something new was needed – and quickly.

    Mike, Dustin, and I talked about it off the air on Monday, but how good are these three teams?
     
    When compared to the top 20 teams how many would be in danger of being shut out by any of these teams?
     
    Based on current rankings here are the best shots to prevent a shut out of the top ten teams against the big three.

But that is extraordinary having two guys in the top five at the same weightclass that  is wonderful. Plus even those kids that didn't bring home hardware,  Still got to wrestle on biggest stage of their lives, gain experience and most of them picked up Wins and I'm sure had a great time bonding with their ppl..

    Weight is not a protected class. Unlike religion, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, race, and so on. Here is a link to 1 of dozens of articles you can find by simply googling "is weight a protected class." The only state currently a lawsuit could be issued and won is Michigan. It would be an extremely costly difficult lawsuit to win. A judge, if they are good, won't (or shouldn't) render a judgment based feeling or emotion and adhere to Title VII policies. 
     
    For your son in particular given the fact they are 6'7'' and 325 that is unfortunate - at that height and weight it is highly unlikely they have an unhealthy BMI. He is also in a rare category since only 1% of the U.S. population exceeds 6'4" in height (source) and only 3.8% of the total U.S. population weighs more than 300lbs. Your son seems to be the rare athlete that would qualify for NFL or NBA type body. But for most others that is not a healthy weight. Per the National Health Institute it results in multiple issues like cardiovascular, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and so on.

    RAJR reacted to SunDevils in Super heavyweight class?   
    I hope they do not make this decision. In 2019-2020 NFL season only about 25% of NFL players weighed over 300lbs - all of them defensive line or offensive line. They are rare athletes that are also typically 6'3"-6'8". The % of population that weighed in over 300lbs was at that time 3.8% of U.S. citizens. 
     
    Unless the athlete is in that rare category of NFL caliber athlete and body build - making 285 seems like the best interest for their longterm health.

    I'm not a big fan of bowing out.  Of course, no one cares what I think.  But all of the things everyone always says about wrestling and how it builds character, sets you up for life, teaches life lessons, etc. seems to get thrown out the window with bailing.  Could he be hurt?  It's possible, but I'd be willing to bet it's his pride that's hurt.  

    As others have said, I think it would have been good for him to bounce back, a challenge to get your mind right to come back, compete and overcome such disappointment.  And moving past that, coming back to the arena would be good for him.  I suspect, and just guessing, he'll be back tonight in support of Real Woods and will get his swan song/recognition then.  Life is hard and teaches cruel lessons at times.  Some bounce back better and quicker than others.  Time will tell how his story plays out.

    Mentally I think it would do him some good to get to the arena at some point and soak up the appreciation for his complete career, as well as, connect with his coaches and team.   Going to take awhile to get over this type of disappointment especially if his body isn’t helping him, but I think being there for part of the day can help the road to putting some of this in perspective better than staying away.

    Yeah, we definitely shouldnt be fooled because of the upset. Glory is the clear favorite. Ramos will need to produce another special performance.
