You all are correct. Not having a D1 program in the state is the root issue. There's a guy I know that was a HS state champ and 4-time placer. He wanted to wrestle D1 for MU back when their program wasn't quite as good as it is now. He elected to wrestle ju-co for a couple years, and I watched one match where he beat a 4-time OK state champ by 6pts. He was a ju-co finalist too, but they still wouldn't give him a scholarship. So, he didn't go. What do you do?

Plus, if we had an in-state D1 program, there would be more D1 trained coaches in KS. It all stems from the same issue, I believe.
