Bastidas ranking is laughable.

 

[enisthemenace]

Quite the movement 125-149. Holy crap.

Kysen at 6 is higher than I anticipated.. but I’ll take it!

They're still taking into account his wins against Cardinale and Mastro last year, which I'll gladly take it but I don't think those wins should count toward his current ranking

Why not? Certainly at this point all of the rankings rely pretty heavily on last years results.

Because after he beat Mastro and Cardinale he went 2-7. I'm happy he's ranked #6 but I think that's a bit of an overreaction

I’d personally have Kysen like 12th. I’m guessing Flo is going off his potential from those wins and then assuming his win over Barnett is a sign of things to come

R12 to fringe AA makes sense to me. Hopefully the culture and competition in the room drives him to AA status.

But I guess I don’t understand why you think those wins shouldn’t count?

I do agree 6th seems a bit high though. I’d have him around 10-14

With these rankings we would have 8 guys in the Blood Round or better. 8 guys! Incredible.

Good god…. I don’t know if I could handle that.

That would be the most nerve-racking Friday night session we've had in over a decade lol

Who are the 6 guys better than Yonger? That's fuel for the fire there.

According to Flo:
Max Dean (understandable)
Jacob Warner (finalist, so I am fine with it even though Yonger beat him last year)
Stephen Buchanan (understandable)
Rocky Elam (beat Yonger last time they wrestled, and he placed higher at NCAAs so I am fine with it)
Bernie Truax (first one that is a bit outrageous. He is up from 184 where he placed 4th)
Michael Beard (didn't wrestle last year, no reason he should be ahead of Yonger)

These rankings are closer to what I'd have, but again having Bernie Truax ranked ahead of Yonger is dumb

Yeah, not sure how 7th place in 2021 is better than 5th place in 2022. I think Yonger should be ranked 5th right now based off last year's results, but I think we all know the potential is there for a national championship. He's beaten Elam, he's been right there with Buchanan (who some are saying might not be wrestling this year), and he's beaten Warner in their only match. Dean is not an unbeatable returning champion.

Dean is nails. He’s the only one I would worry about. Yonger can most definitely stick it to the rest of them.

What’s up with Buchanan?
