Nowak to Baker, Baker really got a steal on that one... Congratualtions to all young men who want to pursue the sport of wrestling farther. There are ways you can look at wrestling in college. I personally look at it as its a tool, that is helping me dod what i want in the end; and that is end up teaching in a classroom. Congrats too all.

Scarecrow_103,

That is a very nice thing for you to say about Jacob Nowak. He is very excited to be part of the first Baker University wrestling team. He is hoping to be part of a NAIA national championship team during his wrestling career at Baker. We have been extremely impressed with Jimmy May and we are convinced that Coach May will develop a successful nationally competitive team at Baker just like the very successful high school wrestling program he developed in Nevada.

Besides the wrestling opportunity that Baker offers, we believe that it is going to be an excellent academic opportunity for Jacob. Baker University has a very good academic program and a very favorable student to teacher ratio. It is a small campus where all the students seem to know each other. We have talked to a lot of current students, former students and parents of former students. Everyone we talked to has had nothing but good things to say about Baker and their college experiences at Baker.

For all these reasons we think that Baker is a great opportunity for Jacob and it will be for a lot of Kansas high school wrestlers in the years to come.

alan callahan committed to pratt. heard from one of the coaches there.

I have changed Alan on my last update per your post.

HUSKER, Roger Windham and Alex Feldkamp of Derby both plan on wrestling in college they are both undecided on where. GO BIG RED!

Alan Callahan has not committed to a school yet. He is still undecided, plans on taking several visits.

OldKSWrestler, based on Alan's high school coach's post above I am changing Alan on the list to Undecided.

Kit, I appreciate that update. Also, if I have listed someone as committed to a school incorrectly I would appreciate it if you would correct me as Kit did or via a private message if you prefer.
