Iowa recruits in final MatScouts Rankings

MatScouts released their final high school rankings and Big Board for the Class of 2023. From my understanding the Big Board is a list of all of the high school seniors including those that did not compete at the high school level over the past season. New to the list of recruits for the Hawks […]

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!

I don't understand Willie's rankings. How can Kueter be #1 pound for pound but #6 on the 2023 Big Board? What's the difference between the two lists?

I think the uncertainty of having Kueter wrestle his whole career is factored into the big board ranking.

P4P is a rankings list. Who did you beat, bad losses, etc.

Big Board is more of a prospect ranking list. Who is the best college prospect.

Agree. I think Willie is discounting his college projection for Kueter because of the uncertainty that playing football will have on his college wrestling career.

Thank you.

To be clear, I really don't care where Willie ranks anyone--that's his prerogative and he knows more than me--I just didn't understand the difference. Zero angst over BK "only" being ranked 6th here. ;-)

it's totally the uncertainty. it's a really tough situation. wasn't sure how to play it, tbh.

what if only wrestles part time? what if he goes to the nfl after his sophomore year?

i don't blame anyone if they think he should be higher.

The big board seems more of the recruiting ranking based off your description.

Valid concerns, we are going to lose him to fb.
