Chase,
Agreed with most of the posts. I sat down with one of my seniors last year, who was debating college wrestling or not, and had him make a list of the colleges he would like to wrestle for. I used any and all of my contacts, including emailing the coaches personally, and in the end this athlete had at least 3 offers. He ended up being a proud teammate of the studly Mr. Chenowith (at least last time I checked he was still with the program). I know Jilka has a lot more contacts than me if that's the route you decide to take. Fun is fun, but truthfully the friendships you make through this sport last a lifetime and people do respect those who are willing to commit themselves to a college sport.
