Many of your sleepers are ranked in Bucksman's preseason ranking; wouldn't consider them sleepers.
 
I Said not top 10 guys,
103- Not in his rankings
112- 16th
119- He has Roff at 125
125- Not in his rankings
130- Not in his rankings
135- Bucksman has him around 10
140- Not in his rankings
145- Not in his rankings
152- Like 13th
160- District Qualifier we both have him high
171- Not in his rankings
189- Not in his rankings
215- Has him like 12th
285- Not in his rankings
 
KORDIK is #7 in his rankings?

145 pounds
1. Cam Tessari, Monroeville, senior
2. Dominic Prezzia, St Clairsville, senior
3. Danny Orrill, Chanel, senior
4. Vince Pickett, Westfall, junior
5. JC Giffin, Fairport Harbor, senior
6. Jordan Cowell, Archbold, junior
7. Jameson Kordik, Troy Christian, senior
8. Mason Robinson, Heath, senior
9. Brett Snyder, Rootstown, senior
10. Tyler Majoy, Milan Edison, junior
11. Seth Heldenbrand, Hillsdale, junior
12. Eric Gase, Tiffin Calvert, senior
13. Aaron Hall, Girard, senior
14. Marcus Mardis, Newcomerstown, senior
15. Casey Bishop, Brooklyn, junior
16. Brenden Stanley, Waynedale, sophomore
 
At 112- Casey Johns and Ferguson from Manchester, 119- Campbell from P. Valley, at 125-if Powell goes 130, I see him being in the run, 125 is to deep, even with Roff going 119. JMO
 
Ok then Brendan Stanley at 145, Bucksman has him 16th, should be higher with Nelson and Beam around him in their room.
 
135 D3 Shadyside Alex Quinn. He was 30-3 last year with 22 falls. He was injured the week before the districts and unable to compete. He was ranked in the top ten last year at 119.

Good call. Brendan won 46 matches at a senior weight class last year as a freshman. He is sandwiched between Zeb and Zane at 140 and 152 and Zeb will be a huge 152. Senior Jared McCluggage who went 160 last year and went 23-15 with 14 pins is going 135 this year! 6 foot tall Freshman Dakota Stanley is going to give fits come districts at 125 along with Jr High State placer and freshman Brad Wardell at 130. These two freshman are sleepers!! Jarred Orr was at Beast freshman 152 last year but was behind Zeb Beam a lot He will be a sleeper at 160. From 112 to 160(stacked) This team has some major sleepers. They will surprise people at district and dominate at sectionals. JMO!!
 
Elder has two significant sleepers this year in my opinion. Tyler Hardtke will likely go 152 and makes the trip to State. Greg Suer at 112 will be one of the top guys in Cincy, he also makes it to State. I think these two join Elder's returning State Qualifiers to send 5 to the big show in 2011.

Waynedale really looks solid, I didn't know some of the wrestler's you mention here. I forgot to ask you, why no tri match this year with Chanel and C Heights? I wish the Bears were at one of the Major Decemvber Tourneys in NE Ohio, I would like to see the boys and the team in Action.

If chanel still has a dual with just Cuyahoga Hts. than that is a huge waste, Chanel might shut them out, especially with no Dankle and I hear Torgeson isn't wrestling this year.
 
Chanel wants to host...dont want to travel...
Bears said: "come down to our place"
Chanel said: "NO"

....Bears moved on.

Its a nice Tri I would have liked to see happen. Had a good tri last year, With Chanel winning, Bears Beat CH...Then CH goes on to win D-III Duals. Without Dankle is a huge loss for CH, if the rumor about Torg is true...then Ch takes a BIG loss losing those 2 state level wrestlers.
 
Powtowner I agree with you. Shadyside will be loaded. What has happened with Ian Baker? Where is he at?

Baker and Kinemond will be playing on Friday in the D6 State final game. They are both starting safeties for Shadyside. Kinemond alpha'd already and is clear for 130, Quinn is clear for 135 but Baker has not alpha'd. He may go 135 and Quinn 140, or the other way around, the season is long. Quinn is bigger than Baker there may be some give and take as far as weights go this year.

All good wrestlers indeed. Here is another Darryl Grayson - Springfield - 171. He is not listed in anybody preseason listing, but based upon his growth and development, he could be.
 
Micheal Meadows 145 cvca 3rd in state as an 8th grader should be really tough to beat, kids got a mean streak in him on the mat.

Kinemond alpha'd already and is clear for 130, Quinn is clear for 135 but Baker has not alpha'd. He may go 135 and Quinn 140, or the other way around, the season is long.

Nice!
Football finals in the Valley. Good luck Sside!
Good to see some top end kids playing with rocks!

Alpha shows 112 for Johns.
 
Green-D I put that before they updated it on NWCA, 112 at Maple is so weak that he still should make it out.
 
@ 140- Tyler Chambers (10) from Piqua. Was 2-2 at districts @ 145 as a freshman. Had a great summer, placing at Disney. May drop to 135 mid-season. Also a 2x JH State Placer.
