First off Im not asking for sympathy from Cokeley. And I do obviously know that western kansas has a lack of population always has been a problem always will be a problem. Cokely compared this years machups. I was simply stating it would be very different other years. Which is why I stated on another post that the 500 mile rule sucks but I really dont see it being changed, and that if it was different this year probaly wouldnt make a bit of difference, the rule really doesnt help or hinder recruiting by that much. Good kids get recruited and everyone wants to further their chance to wrestle in college has the opportunity. Why i tend to tear down cokely so much is he sees everything from his prospective he doesnt understand situations out here. IM NOT WHINING ABOUT IT ONLY STATING POPULATION IS IN DECLINE IN WESTERN KANSAS. Sports will become less and less important to administrators over the next few years.
