The Dual team coaches start with the athletes that they believe will give Kansas the strongest team possible. If those individuals do not want to compete, they move to the next name on the list. Ultimately, and inevitably, they find themselves begging anyone remotely qualified to fill open spots. It's difficult to know what the situation will be for any particular weight class ... there have been years when several tremendously qualified wrestlers have all expressed an interest in a weight class, resulting in us leaving some great wrestlers at home. At the same time, we might go begging in another weight class.

I can assure you that the coaches make every effort possible to field a complete team.
