I have often wondered this myself. I'm not sure it's just the 4xer's. It's anecdotal, but it sure seems that several successful HS wrestlers go to good programs and and up not wrestling for a variety of reasons.

I know things are a LOT different when it comes to HS vs. College wrestling rooms and that's amplified when talking D1/D2 but I'm concerned as to the reasons they quit. Is it because of the earlier successes vs. not making the line-up, losing the desire or generally something different?

My curiosity is for a couple of reasons. First, Is there something we can do that helps them continue their success in college. Secondly, I enjoy following kids development as they go through the kids & High School ranks then look forward their college careers. It's disappointing when they choose discontinue.
