Coach,

Prediction: a statement made about the future.

A prediction made before an event is "in the right order". On the contrary, the kids mentioned above are in no order. They are just a sample of who is likely to be at that particular weight.

Any reasonable person would agree that scholastic achievement far exceeds athletic pursuits in priority. There has been no mention on this thread that contests that. This forum is the exact outlet in which to have these conversations. I would be surprised if the anticipation for the tournaments this weekend or duals this week could be materially altered by a discussion on this thread. There are always conversations, challenge matches, dieting issues, etc. for nearly every event. Rankings, predictions and robust conversations enhance our sport and are certainly not irresponsible. (Unless of course, they disagree with me!)
