We need to stop aiming low and hitting low.
You have NEVER heard me say we are "hitting low". In fact I have argued for years that Kansas far exceeds on both a regional and national level. Sorry, I don't buy the old "we don't have a D1 program, so we suck" or "we don't do things exactly like other states, so we are lagging behind". I would love to have a D1 program at WSU but then again, I will be the crazy one who actually has his youth wrestler at their home events rather than at the Acme youth invitational that day.
Our sport is way too hard for kids to not be fans of it first. I have strong feelings that opening this date is important to the beginning of said shift.
And there will be at least 4 youth tournaments that weekend and they will be full of all of our Kansas youth!
