The top tier(in somewhat order)

Pennsylvania
Ohio

California
New Jersey
Illinois

 

Second tier(not too much order)
Wisconsin
Michigan
Minnesota
Indiana
Oklahoma
Missouri
New York
Georgia(sneaking up there)

 

Look at NCAA qualifiers and All-Americans, Junior/16U/14U Duals results, Super 32 results, etc and you'll see most of these states in the mix. The second tier has good runs, then small lulls at times.

Recently Indiana has been better than Michigan, but over the course of 10-15 years Michigan is slightly ahead.

Georgia is moving up quickly!!! They have some dudes!!!! With that said, they have 7 classes in high school. Our class wrestling advocates, need to research their recent success and bring that to the class wrestling debate!  @Thor

At the youth level they had Compound. I still see Minons. Lately.. Roundtree has been really tough. These dudes are tough as HELL.

It could be worse. Michigan doesn't even exist in a tier.

I would put Michigan behind us, but not that far. They got dudes in high school and great college wrestling. 

I mean, they said we were high second tier. That’s not exactly bad. Hard to argue the states that they put ahead of us aren’t better. 
 

but… def not Virginia!

@malignedThat sounds like a reasonable consequence for @Jcjcjc.  What is the punishment for the tattletale, @Mattyb?  I know my wife has consequences for students who tattle on classmates in her 3rd grade class.

Some stole my phone!!!! ….. I’m sorry all. I got it back now.

A lot of people picking Starocci as their wildcard, myself included. He definitely has the most potential to go from a low seed to champ just because of how the seeding committee messed this bracket up. But there is also a good chance he's too injured to wrestle, loses to Mehki Lewis, and just defaults out due to injury. Very boom or bust here, but hope he's healthy enough to make a run. 

That man was talking about transferring out of PSU because the coach kept him out of the Big 10s. He was sooooo pissed. He is gonna be on a mission!!!!

Oh, yes, now I remember who Perseverance was.  Good choice!

Yes! Mr Allred was a very dynamic man. He lived an amazing life and his journey and words of wisdom made an impact on many of us in our wrestling community. Mr Allred was wise beyond his years. He counseled me on multiple occasions and his words were from somewhere not of this earth. He was a very spiritual man who meant every word he said. 
 

He is and always will be missed by us all. I will be rooting hard for his son this weekend!!! 

I have been told that top 5 make it in. If that is the case, I have finished 5th. With that said, I would like to decline my 1st ballot honors to ensure that the best story teller ever, and friend to many, Tom Clark @grecoref ,be honored as a 1st ballot entrant to the IndianaMat Poster HOF.

We miss your amazing stories friend!!!!! 

My time will come and until then my County brother @TeamGarcia will hold the HOF down for our community!!!

Congrats to all the great posters that make this site so much fun!!! 

This guy from sports illustrated gives Indiana a lot of love….

@Zach Richards said….. hear me out….   

like we haven’t done this 1,000 times!!!  

I coach at the other Brownsburg middle school and am proud to be a colleague of this warrior. You won’t find better man in our wrestling community.

Last night, his team won the Hendricks County middle school wrestling tournament by over 100 points! It’s a VERY tough tournament full of current and future state champs. His team is awesome, and brings Coach Frepans warrior attitude each time they walk onto the mat. 

Coach Frepans team will finish the season this Saturday at our conference tournament in Zionsville (another stacked tournament). It Would be pretty cool to see coach Frepans team win him another team title!!
