i think they get a better look too, but geography plays alot into that as well. of all the ks kids who have gone on to college, the majority have stayed in the midwest.
i'm not saying that it's not tougher to make it to state in these states, i'm not saying that ks kids don't get overlooked. here's something to think about, most college coaches don't ever have the opportunity to watch hs wrestling. as a rule of thumb if you want to go to college and wrestle, wrestle in the summer. fs and greco, in the summer is the same no matter how your high school activity association does it in the winter.
don't you think that population has something to do with the state series? someone mentioned texas football, you don't see kids from other states on texas college rosters, ANY rosters. do you think that those coaches look at how the state does their playoffs? no they look at the fact that they have a TON of good kids right in their own state. there's no need to look farther. the majority of the college football teams are the same way-90% instate.
