Vince,

If I had to guess, I would say that Jacob really didn't care that he was not mentioned. It is very clear that you were offended. Like I said before, those names were thrown out and not presented as an official list. A glance is meant to be brief. I posted those wrestlers as a representative example of Seniors to watch. Had I intended the post to be a real list, I would have "bothered" to list 321A guys. It's always a task to find the grade level of the 321A wrestlers when they don't post them on the State brackets.

Do you really think that SEVERAL of our 285 Senior HWT's will perform at the SAME LEVEL as Atticus Disney, Steve Andrus, Duane Zlatnik and Joe Bach? Those guys were either nationally ranked or previous Fargo All-Americans. It was a banner year for Kansas big men. For you to say that several of our 09 heavy guys will perform at that same level shows your lack of understanding talent levels.

Let's address your SME bias claim. The wrestler that I predicted would place at 285 was 6'5" 285 Anthony Garrett. He suffered a season ending shoulder injury and was unable to compete. His back-up that Anthony beat 10 out of 10 times was Dennis Jilka. Dennis had a fine season and placed 5th at State. Where was the bias? If a JV's back-up placed at State, would Anthony have placed? Again Vince, please be prepared when you respond.
