I have finally updated the pre-season rankings and have them posted below (old style format). I'm sure there are a ton of updates that still need to be made as I haven't seen very few results this summer. Come on KY wrestling fans. Let's start getting some info out there. Let the debating begin.
Regarding the news weights, the upper end (excluding 220 and heavy) appear to be very thin at this moment. I'm sure some contenders will present themselves as we go along, but right now I can't go too deep with the rankings.
