AJ was largely responsible for getting Seth Gross, Alex Kocer and Luke Zilverberg to another level with their top wrestling during his short stint at SDSU.
Ness probably could have started ahead of Danny Zilverberg as a true freshman but it’s doubtful that he would have finished as a 4x AA. Nick Dardanes was behind Mike Thorn when he used his redshirt.
A front side pin is worth 3x a decision 3vs1, a back side pin is worth 5x 2.5vs.5.
A front side major is 2x a decision and a back side major is 3x a decision.
