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.
You can't get anymore right on than the above statement. The problem isn't our kids or coaching it's the lack of a D1 program! The same would be true of any other under-funded D1 sport if they didn't exist already at WSU, KU or KSU. Baseball is a prime example.
