Kansas lost a lot of good wrestlers last year, but out of the people remaining, who is the best?

I would have to say Kyle Potter is the best around

top ten seniors;
Gilliland, Kreigbaum, Zouzas, Bedore, Terrell, Garcia, Hill, Devoe, Kelly Heincker, Knox.
Could this be the year Knox breaks through and gets a state title.
Has any one of these kids signed or committed to any college yet.

Here are some of the returning state champs from the west part of the state that certainly bear mention:
103 Madden of Norton
112 Younkin of Oakley-really close with LLoyd of St. francis
119 Baker of Hoxie--freshman champ capable of 4x
125 Annon of Norton
130 Matt Gilliland of Hoxie going for 4
135 Schippers of Hoxie
171 Dennis of Oakley
215 Horenik of Atwood
275 Honas of Ellis ; close with
sprigg of Norton
Thaose are from 3A, Then you have Lewis from
Ulysses and Bedore of Goodland , Taplin, Kriegbaum from abeline , Grater from Clay in 4a.
Also in 4a some really good ones that hven't won yet, prater from Pratt, Schyler sharpe from Colby. hard to say who is absolutely the best but those guys I listed are the ones that I have watched in the last couple of years that have little to prove.

I think one person everyone is overlooking is Daniel Prater of Pratt:

Freshman - 3rd - lost to Kreigbaum

Sophmore - 2nd - lost to Charbonneau

Junior - 3rd - lost to Jones

Senior year, I think he will go 135?
It will probably be between Prater & Bowman?
Prater beat him in the semi-finals their Sophmore year.

I heard on the radio tonight that Zouzas committed to Fort Hays. Always glad to see good Kansas wrestlers stay in state. I just wish we could offer a division 1 program.

Kreigbaum and Gilliland Will win no.4 this year if they don't get upset, and that sets them a
level above due to the fact that they have won every time they had to, not just this year. Zousas or maybe grater or possibly erisman could be better pound for pound this season only, but long term records are a bigger factor than short term ones. Dan Gable was not the best wrestler in his weight class his sr. year, but no one would say that Larry owings was a greater wrestler. I think you can limit the contest to the three time and 4 time guys.
