early start on ss rankings

[garrettm]

Where I come from the tie goes to the kid who placed at the state meet

1. Giovanni Castillo - Corona Centenniel (12) 2
2. Jordan Gurrola - N Torrance (12) 4

You selling printing these days --- Thomas @ #1 may be correct -- but usually you have to wrestle a HS match before your the top ranked kid (exception Aaron Pico)

FYI Pags just beat the #1 kid in the country ---also took out Ramirez who placed at Senior Nationals and placed higher at state than Briceno---- ranked 3rd in the SS--gotta love it

Richard Cassilas from Northview at 106 as well since were ranking freshman--- and Salinas likely a 171 #er next year

we seldom rank freshman, but when we do, we've been fortunately correct every time....examples : Bryan Salinas, Mike Longo, Zahid Valencia, Anthony Valencia, etc. i appreciate ur input, but i like the way we do it and will continue to do so
will, however, take all the info you got on Casillas from Northview

I am pretty sure I have a few examples of how you were not correct

please provide....we're on the freshman subject remember...in other words, show me a freshman that we ranked pre-season that din't perform well enough that season to be on the rankings at season's end

lol--you do a good job--- my point is a 7-9 like the Wicks is a safe bet--The Thomas twins are very good--but daddy is pretty tall and you never know where they will be weight wise come middle season--my bet is Claudio is at the first weight and Thomas the second--but hey what do I know.

the other point is a SS#1 - SS #2 usually places more often than not -- so when you rank a freshman there to start your saying in essence he is ready to place

Some pretty good freshman did not do that last year--- Colunga (close with Thomas) , Wykoff, Velasquez, Dominguez, Wright, Stevens, Koshiyama, Tovar--- some for weight, some because they just got beat and were in tough weight classes.

In fact (3) FR made the podium (Valencia's and Hokit)

Now I know this is a SS ranking --- but I am just pointing out that a SS1 & SS2 is ready for the podium--always better to let them climb up the rankings.

Here is a freebie move Brandon Yee from North up about 12 spots to start from where you have him on your list - a SR was behind Mai--he will be right in the thick of it come next season and would likely be a pretty good choice. He I believe majored state qualifier Mckee last year, won SCWAY Grade State and showed very well at FLO as would have Thomas had he not broke his hand. There is also a kid from Charter Oak who is nails--he was an 8th grader last year-- his name is David Gonzales -- think his dad or uncle was pretty good back in the day

Thanks Joseph for the compliment. FYI, we are no longer at Charter Oak and will make a choice that best fits my son.
