Gut, good post and good effort but some points i beg to differ with you.

Sanderson was one of the most and one of the last dominant riders in college wrestling history, he absolutely was a monster smothering you from the top.

It is totally true that we Kansas guys are very unskilled at handfighting in general lack the attack, attack and attach again philosophy on our feet. We would get hit for stalling so much more if it was called right.

The problem with the D1 situation is this. Overall the scholarships have dwindled on that level. I absolutely love Brady Lamar as a kid and a wrestler, he is going D1 because he absolutely blew away his grades and standardized tests. He is not a money risk for Nebraska or Columbia.

I attended the Big 12 meet this past weekend and spoke with Coach Douglas of Iowa State. Keep in mind he has Coleman on his roster from Manhattan and was Robersons coach. He stated that when he can bring an in state kid in on a partial scholarship vs. going outside the state and blowing twice as much on a Kansas kid, he has to lean toward the in state kid in order to divy up the pot.

Kansas has no D1 program and that is crippling our kids more than anything.
