My comment on the Freestyle National duals in Oklahoma was that it was not well attended by the wrestlers, not that it wasn't attended by the states Teams. To clarify a lot of the top wrestlers from the big power house states like PA, OH, NJ, NY and VA did not join the Freestyle National dual team partly due to the geography of the event and the fact that it was freestyle. Sometimes these teams have the fourth or fifth best guy from the state, not their top wrestlers.

This results in Oklahoma's best wrestlers are wrestling the PA, OH, NJ's 5th string or maybe lower in many cases.

Have to note that OK tied for first place at the Duals with Ohio last year.

Other point, SR National tournament only scores 1 wrestler per state just like the duals. So just like Senior Duals, the team score is top wrestler vs top wrestler. I'll give you that a lot of wrestlers from Oklahoma don't attend because it's in Cleveland which I hope explains their dismal 17th place finish.

Also, Junior Nationals in Fargo only allows 4 wrestlers from each state per weight class. PA gets four just like Oklahoma and I bet Oklahoma comes close to filling out team. So you can't say PA sends tons of more wrestlers to JR Nationals.

I'll give OK credit for putting out a couple of top notch National wrestlers every year. (Ware & Hendricks are impressive). Not many states could compete with OK's all time-top ten list if their was such a thing (Smith, Monday, Smith, etc). Edmond HS must have also been bad *** a few years ago.

But the depth at Oklahoma doesn't even come close to PA, OH, NY. I'll goes as far and say a lot of state placers in Oklahoma would not even qualify for PA, NY & OH state tournaments.
