no one is taking anything away from any coach in kansas. of course you have coached d1 talent. din't mean to russle your feathers falcon coach. read closer, to what i have posted, the undeniable difference in numbers between these state we are being compared to is unbelievable. pennsylvania and ohio are very close in proximity,west to east/ border to border/ between the two isn't as much as kansas (i didn't have time to look it up, haha). but penn has over 30 ncaa schools with wrestling, i think ohio has 5. not all of the wrestlers/ coaches are from those states. but geography and population alone, give those wrestlers a 35/0, better exposure to d1 talent. not just coaches, wrestlers too, you know as well as i do, in this sport, you should learn from everyone. certainly exposure goes farther than learning, it also counts is recruiting, scholarships, commradarie, etc.

you cannot deny, the numbers are stacked against ks kids. does that mean, we won't have d1 wrestlers certainly not, it's just going to be tough, and i didn't think it was fair to put it all on the kids, like it seems some have done. sorry for any hard feelings.
