I mean, it's just a factor of having more kids in AAA, right? If you have 3 times as many kids, you should produce 3 times as many D1 wrestlers. A deeper dive into which class produces more D1 wrestlers per capita might be interesting.
Those Manville chins are all carved from the same granite.
Sasso with a nice comeback against Stout, who looked dominant out of the gate with two barely contested takedowns, and then may have ran out of gas.

Definitely a big factor but there has to be more to it than that.
Nobody has more kids than Philly and Pittsburgh cities, and they're virtual wastelands for wrestling.
Stout learned a hard lesson. You don’t wanna scramble with a Sasso. You got served Mac
For sure there are other factors. Eliminating Philly and Pitt from the analysis would probably make the most sense.
I'm just saying that we should probably at least mention that all AAA schools are larger when comparing the two classes.
Since the schools are roughly in half at the median (I know that is imperfect because co-ops exist), the smaller schools will just have a smaller population of kids to draw from. Whether the schools are in Allegheny or Centre County, it's just a bigger population when you add up the 250 biggest schools vs the 250 smallest.
To put another way, if you wanted to divide the state by having exactly the same amount of kids to pull from in AA and AAA, AA would probably have 400 schools and AAA would have 100 (or something similar).
It's always been that way. What started as "A" and "B" and moved to "AAA" and "AA" the bigger class has always had more really good kids, but "AA" has always had top end kids that would make their presence known in any "AAA" competition.
I have always wished they would wrestle a single championship tournament. There are a thousand all time great matches that we as wrestling fans have missed out on because of the split. A couple we did not get to see were Jack Cuvo v Jimmy Martin and John Hughes v Joey Wildasin.
I’d prefer a AA vs AAAChampions Classic over the dapper Dan or whatever they are calling it these days
The AAA v AA would not be what all that. Only seniors can wrestle in it. Having a AA 4th Placer wrestle an AAA champion isn't all that appealing.
He didn't say seniors-only. Even if that were a past format.
Me too.
Single-class states sounds really great, until we start thinking about having single-class sectionals, single-class districts, and single-class regionals -- which would be harder to run and cause a lot of friction with regards to regional allocations to states. And probably not be very good for small-school registration numbers, where recent years have seen a lot of 106/113 forfeits.
Nasdeo MFFs to Wagner in consi semis. Presumably he'll default out of the tourney and finish 6th.

Ok so I am bored at work and ran some numbers here, should I post some of my findings here on in a new thread?
New thread please -- I suspect it'll generate other discussion, and eventually get lost if buried in this thread.
As if David needed any help, but I have to think some parents and wrestlers on the fence about whether or not to attend M2 just changed their minds
How about a, buy one, get one, recruiting full court press for Desmond and Campbell out of BECA.
Over the years it is amazing how schools have 2 studs next to each other in weight. Campbell was quoted this week that he's gotten better by having Desmond beat on him.
Campbell will have his trouble with Jacaruso who beat him 11-0 last week.

Dapper is cool but I've always thought a AA v AAA post season or even pre season dual would be fun.
How many M2 kids are in the finals of AA and AAA and what’s their year in school. The one post by M2 mentioned lots of freshmen going to states. Thanks for anyone that can answer thisAs if David needed any help, but I have to think some parents and wrestlers on the fence about whether or not to attend M2 just changed their minds
The finalists:
Brock Weiss - SO
Scott Johnson - JR
Cole Karpinski - SR
Austin Johnson - FR

umm... all we have to do is convince the piaa they could make some$$
Think NJ with one class would rank higher than PA AA. Possibly Prep Championship also.
