I don't know the reasons why each of these kids didn't wrestle but the dual is for "senior wrestlers". It would make a farce out of the competition if someone, who for whatever reasons, did not wrestle their senior season was allowed to compete in this all-star dual.
Pretty sure he is just joking...(also last time I checked he's not on the selection committee :))..either way Kansas won last year, I'm sure the Missouri coaches will bring the stoutest team they can. The selection process last year was spirited on this site.....but the best kids were selected. Labette did a great job of hosting the event.
On a side note, last year an hour before the event, My son got a call (he was leaving track practice), Team Missouri had brought 2 heavyweights and he was asked to be a late entrant.....He was planning to go, just to watch and support the Kansas team....dug out his shoes and got to Parsons just in time....pinned his kid in the first. Crazy night.
