Which local Kansas wrestlers should Baker U. go after?
Any ideas for the 2009 season?
In their first season, I would imagine that Coach May will recruit a mixture of this year's high school seniors and some junior college wrestlers. There may even be a few transfers from other four year college programs. Kansas has some very good junior college programs. You could go to the high school and freestyle forums to find a number of topics that talk about potential high school recruits from this upcoming year's senior class. I believe Baker University hired Coach May early in order to spend the first year recruiting for its inaugural season. He will need to network with the Kansas wrestling community especially the high school and junior college coaches. A good source should be right there in Baldwin in their high school coach Kit Harris. Besides coaches he will get good information from other wrestling community leaders like Eric Akin. He will also want to attend some of the bigger wrestling tournaments in Kansas especially this year. I will suggest some that I am familiar with that my son's team competes at in the Johnson County area and others can expand on that if they want: Eudora, Johnson County Classic, The Basehor-Linwood Bobcat Classic, Blue Valley Northwest Husky and of course regional and state tournaments.
