Sweazy,
My bad, I forgot about Florida, but did you have to point out my mistake 3 times? :p

Gutwrench,
No one said these wrestlers didn't get better once they went to college. I would say that ALL wrestlers get better in college, not just our Kansas kids. It has to do with a higher level of competetion and greater hours spent in the mat room, and better coaching as well, but I am sure that wrestlers from Missouri, Oklahoma, and every other state go through the same transition. The point here is that these wrestlers are great athletes who were coached in a manner to give them some of the tools they would need to succeed at the next level. To say they are the exception to the rule is ridiculous, they are the cream of the crop.

I know for a fact that Colby High School teaches their wrestlers how to ride (or their kids are just born with the ability), as should all coaches, it is 1/3 of the wrestling match!

In conclusion you contradict yourself at every turn. First you say that Kansas wrestling style is stopping our wrestlers from getting to the next level, but then you point out that we rank 13th in states producing NCAA qualifiers, which is good considering our low population. Then you say that these wrestlers don't represent Kansas wrestling, so you can continue with your tirade. I will say it again, these wrestlers are the cream of the crop of Kansas wrestling, not the exception to the rule. Yes, they are better than most, but that is why they are D1 qualifiers!!!!
