Although I am a little biased, most national programs look to the larger schools in Kansas because of the precident set by the other states where the larger schools are the more prodominant, but also many of the smaller schools in Kansas the wrestlers choose to attend smaller schools as well, such as Matt Guilliand, who chose colby, a four timer, and most people who attend Division I schools are from KC because there are quite a lot of schools in that area and they can come down from Iowa, Michigan, etc. and fly right in and watch tournaments, where they cannot in other parts of the state, i'm not making excuses, but it could be just a choice that the kids who attended smaller schools in High School, chose that way in College as well, also many of the really good kids in Kansas are still here as evident in the Colby, Labette, and Fort Hays programs in which many small school standouts are wrestling, I firmly believe that if a Div. I school either KSU or KU had wrestling you would see many small school kids from 321A and 4A joining Div. I schools, I also believe that many are choosing smaller univeristies and jucos to stay close to home, as did Kory Lira for Fort Hays, he was the #1 ranked 125lbser in the nation a couple years ago and choose Fort Hays i'm guessing because of the location, but again just my opinion
