Pinnacle Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Cohlton Schultz only has one loss by 4-3 to Bastida yet I can't recall a single post about his season. For a guy who has wrestled as many years as him and still has single digit losses in his career that is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a guy who has wrestled as many years as him and still has single digit losses in his career that is odd. The problem with Schultz is he doesn't wrestle much quality competition before NCAAs and his current conference is a joke and doesn't get much attention compared to the Big 10, Big 12, or EIWA. He's got a great collegiate record though and usually shows well at NCAAs. I saw a couple interviews with him and he seems to be a good natured kid.

Elevator Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 I wonder if Nathan Taylor might get a 6 or 7 seed and avoid the potential Quarterfinal match w Kerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is such a huge guy and has the talent to create a lot of problems for anyone in that bracket. Would anyone be "shocked" if he actually took it? I favor Kerkvliet, but I would not be shocked if a guy like Schultz beats him in the semi finals. He's a bad draw for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone be "shocked" if he actually took it? I favor Kerkvliet, but I would not be shocked if a guy like Schultz beats him in the semi finals. He's a bad draw for sure. I wouldn't be shocked to see Schultz beat anybody, to be honest. He's a brute, but he's more like the classic "fat guy" heavies than the modern athletic ones. I once saw him just straight up crumple another hwt to his back. No throw, no takedown, he just brute forced the dude over to his back. Schultz has problems against fast heavies that have good strength and technique (guys like Bastida), but I think he'd make easy work of Feldman. I don't think Feldman has enough power to handle Schultz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 1 - Bastida 2 - Kerkvliet 3 - Hendrickson 4 - Schultz 5 - Elam 6 - Taylor 7 - Trephan 8 - Feldman 9 - Davison 10 - Ghadiali Schultz might be #6 as well withiut intervention. No RPI or QW will hurt him. He has conference title and coaches rank to help, though. Win percentage hurts against Elam. Taylor, Trephan, and Ghadiali have conference title going for them. I am for trusting the matrix, to be clear. If they bump Kerk up with intervention, I would be annoyed. 2 "I know actually nothing.

He was injured earlier in the year and struggled but he has really come on strong the last 2 months. This will be a good test for him, and the 6 freshman Ohio State is bringing to the tournament.

MidwestMan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1. Kerk, 2. Batista, 3. Hendrickson, 4. Schultz, 5. Feldman, 6. Elam I'm a Miz homer but Elam has shown he has problems with quick heavys that can attack legs. Davison could also be a problem for him. I don't think Batista beats Hendrickson again, but give him the benefit of the win in how I would seed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRound Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Kerklivet is the surefire choice to win it. I see Yonger semi sliding the hardest out of anyone in the entire tournament that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truzzcat Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 purely based on the seeding matrix without intervention Yonger should be 1 same instance for Trent at 197 however I think intervention is more warranted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not getting seeded over Hendrickson because he has 5 losses. He got killed by Taye Ghadiali. He also lost to Owen Trephan.

Feldman schedule is far and away the most difficult. Though it is not noted, Feldman wrestled several of those matches while injured and healing up. I think any of those top wrestlers with his schedule would have the same amount of loses. So its hard to compare. One good reference is Davison . Feldman has beat him twice while he was ranked in the top 8. Yonger wrestled Davison and it was a 1 point very close match and it was a good match. I don't care where he is seeded as long as it in the opposite side of the bracket of Kerk. I think Feldman will compete well with all the other heavy weights.

Feldman lost 5 matches and Hendrickson only lost 1 so he is going to get seed over him. Hendrickson also has an 87% bonus rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing transitive properties of matches and ignoring Feldman's CKLV is not how the process works (yes, I know he got hurt but that is part of the seeding process). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
