Vince,
I think if you really want to influence this, start at the national level. NCAA goes from 197 to 285. Last year, i sat at Fargo near several college coaches when some high quality 215 cadets and juniors wrestled. I picked their brain a bit, and they told me that they looked at the kids as either potential 197lbers or whether they would grow in to a legitimate heavyweight closer to the 285 mark.

I do think we lose big kids going out for wrestling, but i think it is more of sport specialization thing and lack of encouragement by some football coaches.
