Ranger123 43 Report post Posted December 18, 2024 A little more of a comprehensive ranking update here. I pulled out anyone I did not see on a roster. And will likely pull anyone that I don't see results for by the first week of January. I'm expected to see a number of weight changes coming in the next few weeks. Still a couple weights that need to be filled out as we see more competition and results in the system over the next couple weeks.

Football33 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2024 Keep an eye out for both Colin combs (215) and Kasey Conley (190) from Perry County Central (Region 8) they’re both now sitting at least 10-0 if not more wins I’m not 100% sure but I know neither have lost.

Didn’t know who he was just went and looked at his track. Maybe Gillum is underrated at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I don't have a question - more of a curious muse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

low-single-05 1 Report post Posted December 20, 2024 At 144 we could see Roberts vs Birk in Ohio at the SWOCA. Depends on the bracket. Ohio doesn’t want 2 KY kids in the finals though. Look for them to meet in the semis or even the quarterfinals. Fingers crossed we get that match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chad.greenwell 23 Report post Posted December 24, 2024 RankWrestler app is a place you can see rankings. It's data driven rather than personally knowing/interacting with the kids like Ranger's rankings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've occasionally compared. I think where 100% data driven can have issues is weight changes and weird results. It is also dependent on accurate information getting into track in a timely manner. But overall it does a solid job. BIG catch, it is a paid service now. With all of the services we are all paying for these days, it is hard to justify paying to view rankings. They do have some cool statistical data that some like. I think Dr Baker keeps us updated with the pin leaders on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrBaker 518 Report post Posted December 24, 2024 It’s a fun tool to mess around with, but it messes up a lot. Sometimes you have to read between the lines. There are always outliers in statistics. Ranger is pretty close to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RankWrestler gets you a close idea of a wrestlers strengths (the percentages in DrBakers image above right after the kid's current record) and you can see the strengths of their opponents but there is a human element that is missing. I agree with Ranger that it's disappointing that it has turned into a paid service and also disappointing that the costs keep going up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
low-single-05 1 Report post Posted December 29, 2024 I offer you a challenge …CHAD, My Ranger against your RankWrestling They each pick the top 3 finishers after the brackets are released. Each pick you get correct is 1 point. I will bet you one strawberry milkshake that Ranger wins 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
