Flo rankings : RU #9 Dual, 13 Tourny team !

On flo radio live the other day they were very big on Perrotti. (Machine Gun) Perrotti as they called him. They were curious who game that nickname. They said it was some RU fan but I wasn't sure. If anyone knows fill me in. Also they were all over Rutgers fans for getting a little to fired up. I just messaged them and said we are so hungry for a top 10 team that our excitement takes over sometimes.
 
Wow !

McCabe ranked 17
Ashnault 4
Perrotti 4 !
Gravina 20
Smith 11

I'm Surprised Richie Lewis isn't ranked, and Giraldo must be close as well.
They did say Lewis is right there on the edge to be ranked and would have if he didn't lose to Cooper on Thur.
Giraldo I agree although he has 5 losses they are to 1-2-3-10-and 17 ranked guys. Freshman up and downs like we saw from Ash last year. He will knock off 1 or 2 of these ranked 133 guys we have coming up. looks like he wont see anymore of those hammers until Nat Duals.
 
CP was sweating the RU fans because I owned him on Twitter. He was incredulous that Intermat had Lewis at #17, to which I pointed out that while Lewis may not have the wins yet, he has looked impressive and a #17 rankings is not absurd. He went on about his ranking process or whatever and I let him make his points. The next day Lewis crushed Berger and I tastefully CC'd him on the match result tweet.

mostly kidding, it was all in good fun. Pyles has a thankless job and is basically a target for every college wrestling fan in America. that he takes the time to respond to anyone is extraordinary. his rankings are solid (as far as I can tell anyway) and he backs it up with knowledge. he just doesn't rank kids until they start notching wins.

Flo got it a little wrong-Machine Gun is the nickname given to Frankie Marotti,not Anthony Perrotti...2011 Pop n Flo National Duals Marotti and Perrotti on TeamHorse,Flo confuses Marotti 4 Perrotti ...Perrotti = Wilson Marotti = Machine Gun
 
The team definitely deserves a top 10 dual ranking, but I was pleasantly surprised by the No. 13 tournament ranking. Has the team really progressed to the point that a top 15 finish at the NCAA's could be in the cards this year?
