He could end up being the best wrestler from this class. He hasn't wrestled freestyle, so we haven't seen him in those loaded brackets but he has done well at some national folkstyle tournaments and dominated the state of New York. He was considered a good recruit until he abused Luke Pletcher, and that really sent his stock skyrocketing. Pletcher is an elite recruit in his own right and that was probably the most impressive win of the entire season last year. It will be interesting to see if it was a bit of an aberration or if Piccininni is going to set the world on fire in college.
He is 2-0 against Pletcher...but yes, abusing him the way he did sent a small shockwave. Also, his last win against Fletcher what at FloNats, with a bracket that held 75 Wrestlers at his weight with several of the 8 Top10 Wrestlers at his weight...which I consider a loaded bracket.
