Who to Watch (Based on PIN Ratings from USA Wrestling … not sure what PIN is? Check out my interview with Coach Mathews - starts at 16:36). PIN Ratings are listed for each wrestler below. Keep in mind that a wrestler may not have a PIN rating (I don’t know why that would be the case … just going by USA Wrestling’s information).

NOTE: The weight listed below is the weight they registered … don’t be surprised if they weigh-in at a different weight class.

Lightweights at U15 is going to be outstanding. Two of the top PIN ratings for U15 Freestyle are both a 41 kg with Manny Novelli and Keegan Bassett. But 44 kg might be the deepest with Dinges, Dobbs, Karenbauer, Carver, as well as Traveon Ducking of Indiana and others. 48 kg looks like the weight that is most wide open and there are a number of SE hammers that could make a run there.

Several outstanding weights in U17. 65 kg may not have the top end talent we see at 51 and 60 kilos, but it is super deep. Koch, Barrows, etc. are also joined by Colton Weiler of Wisconsin and SE hammer Nate Askew (of Georgia? of North Carolina? of Tennessee? … Askew has been at Baylor, but is listed as Tar Heel Wrestling Club. He has committed to the Tar Heels … and now lists NC as his state … so has he moved there and will be competing for Tar Heel WC this coming year … no clue). Georgia’s Blue Stiffler, Tennessee’s Malachi Puckett and South Carolina’s Houston Rudisill are others from the SE to keep an eye on. 65 kg will be fun to watch and should provide some outstanding matches this coming week.

60 kg features hammers in Thomas Verrette and Jordyn Raney … but keep an eye on Georgia’s Josiah Boyden. Boyden has the ability to compete with any of them. 51 kg has Landers and Munaretto as well as Max Francisco and Saxton Scott. Keep an eye on Arseni Kikinou of California as well as a SE hammer to watch in Mac Johnson of North Carolina. 80 kg should be fun to watch for the SE … Max Norman is chasing McFarland and Sherlock for the title. Keep an eye on Tennessee’s Cy Fowler and Georgia’s Ryder Wilder. Wilder didn’t know much Greco a year ago when he hit Fargo and was impressive at Cadets … a year under his belt and the field better keep an eye on him.

  • SE to Watch: Cason Howle (SC) - 1095

110 kg

  • Georgia’s Jacob Levy PIN rating is just 1047, but that’s because he didn’t wrestle Greco in Fargo a year ago after winning Freestyle. Alex Taylor and James Bechter of Ohio, Kai Calcutt of Illinois, James Hartleroad of Indiana, and Brayden Hill of Kansas are hammers and certainly ones to watch. Florida hammer Michael Mocco isn’t registered in Greco so we will have to wait to see if we get a Levy vs. Mocco matchup in Freestyle.

Obviously 67 kg is the weight to watch with Manville and Adams registered. But the weight is also deep with Hamre, Tapia, Brennan Van Hoecke of Florida, Paul Kelly of California, and others. 63 kg is another weight that should be outstanding from top to bottom as well. 82, 87, and 97 could be the three wild cards with no wrestlers with a PIN rating above 1200 registered.
