Nike Man 292 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 Not to sound like a jerk but, if he deserves to be ranked, he'll prove it this weekend. Ranger's rankings are not carved in stone, nor are they perfect. I'll one up GOO and say once you get past the top 10, it's just some other guys that are on the radar. Maybe Ranger should only rank the top 10 and then the rest can be labeled as "contenders" or "up and coming" that way no one is arguing over 16th and 17th, or whatever the case may be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 I agree with Nike and GOO. Stop complaining about people ranked after the top 15 or so, if they are good they will show it at state. Rankings don't win or lose a match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NatureBoy 117 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 RANKINGS ,over time help make or brake " some" kids mentally OR annoy those around kids who will have impact on that kid or wrestler it all depends on the situation or the kid some kids hear it over and over and believe others laugh at them knowing they mean little . And it's not always rankers are good guys and complainers are bad not that that's the case with some any or any at all its just the facts of life .I have seen it forever from youth up some kids get the extra nod for whatever reason others get shoved under the rug until they open the door and throw the rug out and do it over and over . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knob 6 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 Not complaining. Either rank based on outcome or don't bother 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NatureBoy 117 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 Exactly ,base rank on outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knob 6 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 I didn't activate an account to complain. The facts are that we as adults are not the only ones that look at the ranks and ask why. I challenge anyone on this post to logically argue why a ranked wrestler that consistently loses to another unbanked wrestler still is tanked. Do the home work or don't rank past 5.

NatureBoy 117 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 Well ......that is a possibility if a ranked guy loses to an unranked guy all the time but beats ranked guys that that person loses to it makes sense some people do not match up well against others it's the total body of work that rankings should be based on.

I challenge anyone on this post to logically argue why a ranked wrestler that consistently loses to another unbanked wrestler still is tanked. Do the home work or don't rank past 5. Ok I will take a few precious free moments to waste my time on a response. 1 - first I challenge you to get yourself educated before you start this debate; you want to spout off with an attitude you better know what you are talking about 2 - you think you can do better then I challenge you to have at it; as many who try can tell you it ain't easy. Sure it sounds simple to say base it on results, but as you have already referenced not all coaches do a very good job of reporting results in a timely manner and even the guys who do this for a living will tell you results can often be very contradictory 3 - let me repeat something I often have to remind folks over the years. You remember the one good kid your kid has beat and conveniently ignore the losses such as unranked Grabow, Henry, Gadd, Andreoni, Seibert, Murrer on top of losses to #21 Husseini and #24 Caggiano. On top of that it looks like Manns is his only ranked win. Manns also has some unranked losses (including Lundy) but has multiple wins over kids who beat Lundy and a win over Metcalf 4 - bottom line if you don't like it don't read it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Hey Ranger, just wondering if you have ever considered my suggestion from earlier. Only rank the top 10 and then list 10 or so contenders (in no particular order.) It may even lighten your load a little. Just a though.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
385 109 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Give ranger a pay raise and maybe he'll be able to quit his job and do nothing but rankings. But that still won't change the afore mentioned unranked losses your kid has that you're ignoring. I will never understand the idiots who take personally what someone does out of the kindness of his or her heart. Even if your kid does get ranked 20th... Congrats... That's not gonna bring home a medal from state. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMATTINGLY 9 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 I don't know you personally ranger, but it seems like you're pissing in the wind with some of the people. I want to tell you thanks for all your unpaid hard work!! I'm sure you would enjoy going home and not look at the outcome of 500 tournaments, and maybe even spend some well deserved time with the family, but you keep trucking on. I wish the best for you and your family, good job this year ranger, and again, thank you!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knob 6 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 I know he lost to him at the 5 star. He figured about how to keep a wrestler from stalling and dominated him at Woodford Invitational. I could care less whether Lundy is ranked on your post. My point from the beginning is that these rankings appear more based on name recognition and less on outcome. What about Dallas O? I have watched him dominate Tucker twice this year. Just asking this forum be straight forward about how kids are being ranked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nike Man 292 Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Knob, I've got a question for you. By your logic, does everyone who finished in front of Frankrone at regions move ahead of him in the rankings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
