Hey Luke one of my athletes brought the WI rankings on Flo to my attention.

They are terrible. Your anti AWA bias is terrible.

Be better.

Thanks

152 is humorous! Mulvaney(freshman) has head to head win with a pin over Mechler and he is ranked two spots lower. Even if you don't call it a long Mulvaney is still winning.

Well when you have guys at 170 and 182 P4P that do not align with how the individual weight classes are ranked, it looks like LL is still in preseason form as well.

Mechler beat him 11-4 at the cheesehead. Mechler was winning 7-2 going into the 3rd period. Yes mulvaney took him to his back and pinned him and without the pin likely wins 8-7. Not hard to see why Mechler is higher.

Could you remind me how many periods are in a wrestling match? I thought it was 3 which is why Mechler didn't win. You can't just ignore that Mulvaney won and by pin(which is the whole goal of wrestling). 99% of the time head to head and most recent win matters most.

They split on the season, Mulvaney lost at Team State as well.

This guy has been a joke on here for a couple years. He acts as if he really knows wrestling. Dude is so biased it's hard to even have an intelligent conversation with him.

Hu?

Ben you sound like Christian Pyles talking over Nomad on FRL. I'm glad to see some WI rankings on Flo. Gives us something to talk about for the upcoming season. Hopefully we have a season to see how these rankings play out on the mat.

dman · August 05, 2020, 07:28:14 AM

Would you listen to a guy like Ben Askren (won't mention the laundry list of accomplishments and things he has done for wrestling in this state) has to say about wrestling, or some anonymous guy on the internet named Luke...hmmmm??

The rankings aren't projections they are based off results from last season like head to head wins over guys who are within 1-2 spots. Appreciate having rankings that hit a more national brand(flowrestling), but a lot of them make little sense.

I know they aren't predictions, and kids will certainly move weights. Rankings are never perfect. Post up your own rankings so we can see how "off" Luke was with his. IMO a slight in the rankings could be used to motivate a kid.

Oh man I wish I subscribed...bet that is fun to listen to
