I do not mean to disrespect your efforts… my point is that some of this would be better left alone it serves no purpose to anybody. There are class rankings that the Coaches support, yours should have a disclaimer attached stating this your opinion and make of it what you want. I have been to the four corners of the state and watched some the best 45lber’s around. I have never claimed to be an expert nor have I attempted to parlay my passion into some sort of self worth! Let the marbles fall where they may in a couple of weeks. It is senseless to even compare young men that will never meet during the course of the season.
Mark,
In my answer, I'll try not to claim to be an expert or parlay my passion into some sort of self worth. I also hope that it serves more than "no purpose to anybody". Let me fill you in on the individual class rankings. They are also opinions. Mel Miller and myself currently maintain the 6A rankings that you speak of. Every class ranking as well as the All-Class ranking are maintained through input of coaches, wrestlers, fans and parents. For a guy that has been to the four corners of the state, you really think that these wrestlers never meet each other? Just the opposite is true. Most of them have met on the mat. Are you also opposed to the national ranking services? How are these rankings not letting the marbles fall where they may? Your opinion on these rankings are truly one-of-a-kind. Am I not ranking Manhattan kids high enough?
