There is not the time, nor access to all the relevant details to properly do the comparison you are attempting to make.
Things to consider:
1. HighSchool Program Quality
2. Club Experience and Quality
3. Annual match counts, seasonal vs non-seasonal
No. 2 & 3 are huge and play a major role in any wrestler developing into State Champ caliber.
Looking at many of those names, I see alot of wrestlers who were full timers throughout their early youth through all 4 years of HighSchool. They wrestled year round throughout the country.
Their annual match counts no doubt hit the 100-150 numbers.
I believe Cody's Post Season Match count through all of HS is a fat ZERO.
Cody Was a seasonal HS wrestler who left club wrestling before middle school.
This kid dominated in High School through a combination of Hard work, Skill, Athleticism, and uncanny grit. Mental toughness.
He never ducked and competed at and won the toughest tournaments available to HS wrestlers. GUT CHECK, ROSE CITY
On more than one occasion, in a major tournament, he stunned the entire venue with a late 3rd period rally in the last 5 seconds to win a match that by all measures was going to be a loss.
There is no quit in the young man.
What he did in 4A wrestling is extraordinary.
He deserves every ounce of credit bestowed on him.
