I've tried to make this point gently but sometimes wrestlers that want to compete on these teams need to show some interest.

The number one qualifier for these teams are the State FS/GR tourney. I know that coaches Garcia and Rieck were very visible at this tourney, trying to drum up some interest. But if for some reason a wrestler didn't compete in the State tourney he can still show his interest by competing in a couple of Freestyle/Greco tournies throughout the year!

I know that trying to get our wrestlers to commit has been a challenge. Some of the wrestlers you have mentioned have not competed in wrestling since March. Freestyle and especially Greco are unique beasts. I would suggest that if you haven't been training in these styles you probably shouldn't be making your first venture at the Jr. Duals!

I know full well, that people expressing interest is different, than actually coming through! Are there wrestlers that should be on these teams? Absolutely but I question whether they should have to begged to do so!

I have full confidence that Coaches Garcia and Rieck would like to field the best team possible for Kansas. I know they are working to find "the tons of guys!" But maybe they need a bit of help a few weeks prior instead of being second-guessed a few weeks later!
