In some ways Shelstin, that's not such a bad thing. We had numbers situations at times that had me putting woefully inexperienced kids on the mat as freshmen and sophomores that were basically forfeits with a pulse. There's always a danger there of having them get so discouraged that they pack it in before they ever get good.

With some kids — especially 80-pound freshmen 103-pounders, that might not be so bad. At least they're competing. Don't get me wrong; I am all for paying dues, but it should be dues, not a life-savings.
