4 Kansas wrestler's ranked nationally

Zac Gentzler ranked #2 at 103
Taylor Moeder ranked #14 at 140
Ryne Cokeley ranked #15 at 152
Reece Wright Conklin #19 at 171
This was from Intermat Wrestling Rankings 1/18/2011

Moeder and Cokeley should both be in the top 10.

If you go to the recruiting rankings on intermatwrestle.com you can find more KS. wrestlers.

Cullen Hood, Hunter Haralson, Bo Pursel, Daniel Deshazer(OU), Jake Gentzler(ASU), Zack Grimes Osawatomie(Ft. Hays St.), Derek Holly Shawnee Hts.(Ft. Hays St.), Kyle Johnson Columbus (Ft. Hays St.), Dylan Penka (So.Dakota St.), Zach Tanebaum (Brown)

The loss at Tulsa Union to Oliver Pierce of Allen, TX, who is ranked 12th, probably didn't help Cokeley out in the rankings.

Great job Z!

Has anyone from Kansas ever been ranked this high from Kansas?

Maby Akin back in the day?

I would think that Jeff Boyle of Norton was ranked #1, if InterMat had rankings when he was in school. Most publications had him on their All-American teams or as the #1 recruit at heavyweight his senior year. He also wrestled in the Dapper Dan for team USA.

where did he wrestle in college(Jeff Boyle).

What about Roberson?

I would have to agree on Roberson.

I think Jeff Boyle played football for Wyoming.

How about Ty Caldwell?

8 Joey Kielbasa Crystal Lake Central IL 2011 Beat him 6-1 at NHSCA Junior Nationals 2010
9 Max Schneider Chicago Lane IL 2012 This guy's ranking amazes me. He has NEVER wrestled outside of IL. I don't think he has beaten anyone on this list. No showed at this year's Super 32.

Here is the deal guys. If you don't wrestled Beast of the East, Ironman, Cheesehead, Clash or Reno Tournament of Champions it is pretty tough to get any attention from Intermat, AWN, The Open Mat, WIN Mag, etc. If you place at one of the above or beat some quality guys at the Clash then you get ranked. It also seems it is better to wrestle less. Many of the above have never or did not wrestle at Fargo this past summer. Ryne went 5-2 and ended up 5th in his pool and gets hammered by the rankers for not placing. He won't be able to redeem himself until NHSCA or Fargo.

I do believe Roberson ended the season #1 when he was a senior.

I believe Romero Cotton was ranked that high at one point. Also, what about Bo Maynes
