College Coaches do come to state tournaments and 4 locations in one state is crazy. This allows the college coaches to meet parents, HS coaches and watch other kids they may not see at national tournaments. Not all parents and HS coaches travel to spring and summer national tournaments. I would say more parents attend their childs High School State vs Fargo, Fila, Cadet & Junior Duals, etc. Trust me college coaches like to meet the parents. Additionally, parents want a chance to discuss a few things with coaches. Splitting up the locations of the different classes is bad for our sport. We should have 2 locations maximum not 4. My vote is Salina & Hayes - but nobody asked me to vote.
