Recruiting is a bit easier on colleges with the combined classes in my opinion, because sometimes you might be after 1 or 2 guys and wind up discovering some body else that will fit nicely into your program.
As for this quote:

High schools are not an option...I can't think of one high school that is remotely big enough to put four wrestling mats down, then have enough seating for 3,000-4,000 people...

How big is "The Dungeon" at Topeka High in terms of seating? That thing looked like it went on forever to the rafters, and I remember them wrestling quite a few mats at a JV tournament I went to my freshman year.
