Intermat has released their rankings for the upcoming college season. Although there are different polls, this is the coaches association and is the most widely used, kind of like the AP Poll for college football. Ruschell is currently ranked 8th behind some really good wrestlers. You can check out the rest of the individual rankings and team rankings at www.intermatwrestle.com.
I think Ruschell can definitely place at nationals this year and is probably considered a darkhorse to win it, especially if his momentum carries over from last year. I look for him to place 5-8. Just an interesting note, he is the highest ranked wrestler who is not a junior or senior. You have to go down to #14 and #15 to get to the next highest ranked sophomores in Nick Gallik and Adam Frey. Don't be fooled by their lower rankings though, both are exceptional wrestlers, Frey will probably be an All-American.
