I reject and resent any comments that imply that 103/106 “caters” to freshman and should be raised or removed.
106 caters to small wrestlers just as 285 caters to big wrestlers.

I do agree that obviously if you are at 106 you will wrestle more freshman than if you are at a bigger weight but that certainly doesn't mean that it will be easier. Probably the opposite in many cases as some of the responses previously stated.
I do agree that some kids will make the team at 106 that wouldn’t have made it at another weight but they won’t be that good, they won’t make an impact, so that doesn’t really matter.
A 106 pound championship is just as legit as any other weight championship and more legit than some weights.
I don’t agree that 106 is necessarily more competitive than 103 was. I am sure that could vary from year to year but definitely not night and day as stated.
I am not saying that we need to lower the weight or add a smaller weight, but we definitely don’t need to raise the lowest weight any higher.

Joel499, 14oldschool, REVOLUTION and ReDPloyd all made good points and Tommyboy was right on point.

The best of those little dudes are total BA’s. Yes they are very athletic, and well conditioned, and highly skilled, and perhaps even more disciplined. And in some cases, the best of those little dudes are the best pound for pound.

Let me submit for approval the following list:
Bo Pursel
Austin Hood
Aaron Seybold
Dylan Schumacher
Konnor Kriss
Colby Watters
Javier Vieyra
Lincoln Lemon
Zach Dremel
Tommy Williams
Anthony Calderon
Jason Perez
Hunter Stalford
Alex Wolfe
Ty Kolterman
Clay Mulligan
Alex Garcia
Austin Avelar
Andrew Morgan

What does this list represent?
Yes it represents wrestlers graduating this year. But for the purpose of this discussion, it represents wrestlers who wrestled at 103 at state as freshmen. Every one of them would have been BA no matter what weight they were at or what grade they were in. All of them certainly could have made the team at whatever weight they weighed when they were freshmen and they would have been just as successful. They were tough enough, skilled enough, good enough. They just happened to be small freshmen.
Pretty BA list huh. Every one of them went on to multiple medal careers and all were either a champion or a runner-up and most at a heavier weight, many at the traditionally toughest middle weight.
