New Data Sets - Shout Out to Grogs84 and Willie


Wrestleknownothing

Recommended Posts

@grogs84 reached out to me the other day and and asked me if I wanted a data set that contained every result from every match from every tournament from 1988 - 2021.

Uhhhh, does a swimmer spit in the pool?

So, if you like more of these data driven discussions make sure to throw a thank you his way.

On the other hand, for those of you who were hoping I would run out of ideas and data, whoo boy, look out.

On the same day our own @Husker_Du offered me a better version of the Big Board to use. Rather than use what is posted on Flo (a mishmash of when they were wise enough to have Willie do it and when they were not) I got the pure stuff, right from the source.

I have both data sets hooked up straight to my veins at this point, and I am ready to roll. Not telling what is going to emerge from my fever dreams now.

Thank you both, gentlemen.

Don’t sell either of yourselves short. There is a hell of a difference between every recruit ranking and Every. Single. Tournament. The Past 25 Years.

Anyone can google NCAAs PDFs and extract them. This is HUGE.

Thanks @Wrestleknownothing for the shout out. To clarify...it's only NCAA DI tournament matches. But still pretty cool. I had a pipe dream to get as many tournaments as possible (I got banned from wrestlestat at one point for trying to scrape the whole site 😂).

I put all this data into a graph database, which if you are a fan of the transitive property in wrestling, would be your dream data set. This type of database allows you to quickly see opponent of opponents (that you have or have not wrestled) and all different flavors of that question. I created a dashboard with NCAA results here. It's not prefect, I only had a two week trial of the software to get everything finished.

I've collected some information from my database over the years that is interesting to me at least.

🤣

James Green has had more international success, however since 1988 he is second only to Cael with bonus point wins at the NCAA tournament at 16. Cael’s at 18. Nolf and Taylor have 15. @WhoIsJamesG
 
And Zain had 13 consecutive bouns point wins at the tournament starting his sophomore year.
