Let's be real Lee would probably win at 220 and HVY also. 

The first question about Paul is what weight would he wrestle ? I'm going to assume he laid off the hostess cakes and cheeseburgers and could make 126/132. Which in that case I think he'd plow through 126. 132 is a different story. He has recently been pounded by Bailey if i'm not mistaken and for Reitz, well that story has already been written. 
Let's say he didn't lay off the hostess cakes and cheeseburgers. He could make a run at 138. If i'm not mistaken back when Egli was still around he beat Black. Paul beat Egli, Egli Beat Black.....Paul beats Black. So in conclusion I think he'd be a possible champ at 126 or 138 (assuming he's put some muscle on).

soft pound

Maybe instead of hitting the top man with a stalling the refs can call more frequent stalemates to reset both men, therefore giving the bottom guy a better chance to get out and the top guy his attempt to maintain position.
Just a thought.

Idk about career but one year of dominance goes to Chad Ruggeri from Mt.Vernon hands down.
Absolutely demolished everyone. 

I guess the sum of throwing headgear, taking straps off on the mat, and kicking the coaches chair wasn't enough to warrant a DQ. 

Championship
Chad Ruggeri (37-0), Mount Vernon (12) def. Dexter Larimore (49-3), Merrillville (10), Fall, 1:10.
 
In case anyone needs proof .....

yeah, definitely not the most dominant career but 1 year run he absolutely pounded

Cory McGrady from Columbus East was a freak of nature.

Jon Goldsberry from Heritage Hills made it to the NFL and I believe he was runner up in 2000. Complete monster.

All these guys might not be legends but they are all from southern indiana and did make an appearance in a state finals match at some point in the past 20 years. In case any of you out there are bored and need/wanted to make another sweet mini documentary here's some material. I'm sure each one of them probably has a gnarly story to go along with their accolades.
 
EMD-Greg Schaefer, Dan Jankowski, Nick Miller, Allen Weinzapfel, Craig Weinzapfel, Craig Macke, Matt Conkling, Matt Coughlin, Sam Wildeman, Dustin Nosko, Nick Dewig, Alex Weinzapfel, John Sims, Nick Lee, Joe Lee
Castle-Caleb Schmitt, Doug Welch, Chad Welch, Luke Welch
Mt.Vernon-Chad Ruggeri, Alex White, Paul Konrath
Vincennes-Taylor Vieck, Brady Richardson, John Labo
Central-Anthony Williams, Brendan Kelley
Princeton-Drake Stein, Josh Hardy
Harrison-Aaron Lindenschmidt, Jared Williams
Heritage Hills-Jon Goldsberry
Reitz-Steve Riney
Gibson Southern-DJ Radnovich

As far as the best Indiana legacy, my vote would have to go to Matt Coughlin. 2x runner up, 2x champ. Continued his career for the Hoosiers and was an all American. Now, coaches a fantastic club that cranks out state placers, state champs, national champs, etc. every year, in Indiana. The guy has never left our state and has had success at every level of wrestling.
 
I'd throw Alex Johns up there as well, very comparable accolades.

Absolutely. 3x placer (2, 3rd place finishes). 2x DII all American for UIndy and has just accepted the head coaching job at New Pal. Once again, success at every level, all in Indiana.

Jeez, dude. Do you have some sort of personal vendetta? A previous poster was just pointing out Drake has two and Nick has one. Wait, did Drake pound you en route to one of those two titles? 

Nick Lee:  As of right now, Top 10 all time but not Indiana Mt. Rushmore territory.  

Last time Aaron Pico got dragged into an Indiana High School Legacy forum an Indiana High School legend did this to him.

Yeah, so does my sister but you don't see me dragging her into this.

Best in Indiana? He isn't even the best in Southern Indiana. Drake Stein from Princeton Community has a better high school legacy.

I think you need to reread my first post again. Either that or you need to get new glasses. I stated 2 different opinions for what a "high school legacy" could entail. Therefore, in my logic I do agree 100% that it very well could include all of the outside tournaments (which in this case Nick Lee would HAVE to be mentioned) BUT if it only included your IHSAA (Indiana High School Athletic Association) stats then I don't think he would compare to those who have went undefeated and won 4 state titles like Lance Ellis, Alex Tsirtsis, & Chad Red (especially since Chad Red beat him). Nick Lee is an absolute animal, and he is one of the greatest wrestlers at that age I've ever seen. BUT some may define a "high school legacy" different. What if there was a kid who won multiple national tournaments through high school but never wrestled for a high school team, would they be considered to have defined a "high school legacy"? It's all perspective.

I didn't know we were talking about what college coaches look at I thought the headline of the forum said something like High School legacy?
 
If we were talking about what all tournaments and accolades Nick Lee has that college coaches look at then the list would never end because he's a great wrestler, a great student, and from what I hear an even better person, BUT this particular forum was High School legacy.
What dictates a "high school legacy" ? Maybe something like high school stats ? Maybe something like high school stats w/ the inclusion of outside tournaments ? Idk, maybe someone out there knows the official judgement on what makes someone have the greatest high school legacy.

If we give refs the authority to throw stalling calls around like coupons then we are going to see a lot more wrestlers underhooking and simply pushing the other opponent out of bounds just so they can possibly get a stalling call. In my mind this is by no means an agressive technique to taking down an opponent. Yet over again I see stalling calls hit on the other wrestler, who may even be trying to circle in bounds or shrug out, stil get hit with stalling all because one wrestler is a better "pusher". Also wrestling has evolved and wrestling from a knee is a tactic to gain lower and better position, if it was stalling then why does Jordan Burroughs do it directly before he blast doubles someone to the mat? Nearly every wrestler you see in the state finals now from 145 and lower are accustomed to wrestling from a knee agressively.

At the same note though I do believe there are cases where stalling needs to be called more habitually. I am mainly stating that I don't like wrestling when they simply fish for a stalling call rather than earning one.
