***Last Chance Open (Sunday, 10 a.m.)***

[buf87]

Our high school commit from Valiant Prep is entered at 125, Adrian Meza.
Some pretty good tests there. DeAugustino and Sprately

 

[CyGold]

Swiderski not showing in the 141 bracket currently on Trackwrestling.

There is no upside to Casey completing in this. He can't hit the metrics of a 700 win %. His one shot is to steal a bid by placing high enough at Conference.

 

[Ocy Docy]

Glad to see Schon getting some more matches.

That’s crazy given our schedule he couldn’t get enough good wins. So many close losses to tough competition, but he still only had 17 matches. He could’ve used a tournament over Christmas break to get some more matches and potential wins. Guys used to get 30-35 matches no problem and he needed those matches to develop on bottom

He was hurt for a solid month in there. Really was no opportunity for him to get matches.

I thought he only needed 1 more d1 match to qualify for an RPI. If he had an RPI he could get a bid with RPI and coaches rank.

Probably would need RPI and Coaches ranking in the25 or better and I don't think that is going to happen. He wrestled a lot of top level competition, but really needed more matches against the 25-50 range. That is looking back. I need to look at his W & L and compare to the rankings though

He's 5-8.

 

[buf87]

So his 8 losses are to #2 Woods, #3 Matthew, #7 Schwartz, #8 Happel, #12 Hart, #15 Young, #19 Vasquez, #31 Titus.
And has a win over #21 Pucino.

This is the Mid Season coaches ranking.

That is brutal. Needed the win over Titus

 

[crablegs]

He's 5-8.

What does that have to do with my post?

5+8=13

15-13=2

He'd need 2 more D1 matches to even be eligible for RPI. He can't get to Win%, and no way he's getting into the top 28 of CR. No path for him to earn a bid, so no reason to put him out there today.

 

[buf87]

I would be interested in seeing his RPI. Does the RPI take into consideration how close the losses are?

 

[alabamacyclone]

My biggest disappointment was the Titus match. I saw Titus win over Matthew's, and it was a great quick duck under, but Matthew's let Titus hang around. I've seen other Titus matches and I was not overly impressed. CS should have won that. IMHO. I just don't think his head was right yet. I am very confident that he can pull off a conference steal.

I think whether or not he’s too 28 in the coaches is speculative. He just beat 21, so that will hold some weight. He also hasn’t had an unranked loss.

There are more than 2 d1 non-ISU wrestlers in the bracket. 2 more wins and a very tough schedule might have got the RPI.

I think I either asked this or looked it up a couple years ago (was interested in where chase straw was at) and I don’t think it goes that deep into the numbers.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Frost boys have a couple of very intriguing matches.

Evan gets Kyle Burwick and Jacob gets Frankie Tal Shahar.

 

[CycloneFan97]

Anyone know the score of the Meza v Sprately match? Track has Meza winning 16-1 but says Sprately won

The bracket says 16-1 TF Sprately winning.

I feel like track has had more trouble with stuff like this in the past. I noticed this multiple times in almost this exact scenario while following some high school matches this year. Maybe it's just an operator error though.
