Thinking you are, well. Just wrong.
The late, great Jim Vollrath. Beat 3x champ/Hodge winner Dieringer.
Masanosuke Ono, Senior World Champ, couldn't crack the lineup (yet). 
I'll 2nd Barraclough & Vollrath. But I think the real one is probably in the room right now (not sure who).

Connor Mirasola ... until he makes the lineup.Masanosuke Ono, Senior World Champ, couldn't crack the lineup (yet).

Don’t forget Jim English. I think he was basically a backup until Cael gave him the nod to go in post season in 2014. His placement points made the difference for the national team championship that year.
All-time story, but he doesn’t meet the poll’s criteria since he made the postseason.
Ok, fair enough, but I think everyone would agree that he deserves mention on any discussion about guys who were not regular starters.
That is totally fair! I hereby also nominate Ant the Champ for any such discussion.
I think the decision not to wrestle Anthony his Junior year in post season after he beat Moore was maybe the most I ever questioned Cael on anything. Please note this might seem like a 2nd guess but I commented about it before Rasheed struggled on the old forum.That is totally fair! I hereby also nominate Ant the Champ for any such discussion.
