Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Transfers?

Any notable transfers out there?

Khamin Crow from Silver Lake to Seaman

These transfers have been reported to me:

Skylar Olson - From SM South to Rossville
Mike Kenny - From Olathe East to Olathe North

Chance Maynard - From Hutchinson to Dodge City
Hunter Furnish - From Eisenhower to Andale

Tyler Dickman Mill Valley to STA

Lucas Maki from Kapaun Mt. Carmel to Andover High School

Colby High School landed about 15 transfers who will wrestle this winter. They all transferred from Colby Middle School!

Tyler returning to STA where he spent a number of years wrestling with their Kids' Federation program should be a nice addition for a team that I believe was already going to be a contender for the 5A State Title.

Jake Elbrader - From Burlington to STA

Good Call.

Maki to Andover his senior year???? Very disappointing. Work hard, do as you're asked to do and you succeed.....otherwise I guess you transfer.

I not sure what these guys have put on for weight over the summer, but it looks like a tough practice room for STA, I'm guessing from 138 down: Elbrader, Dickman, Gooch, Henes, Dulgarian, Hoskins, and I feel like I might be missing someone. As far as 145 and up, with the guys I know of, it won't be much easier. This should be a very solid team.

Unless you have some insight to this situation that the rest of us don't, maybe you should avoid calling out a KID by name. There are a lot of factors that go into these decisions for the families involved. Let's respect their right to choose what is best for their KIDS.

Their were no factors. The KID just left the school and coaches that have been helping him for 4 yours without having the courtesy to tell any coach he wouldn't be back next year.

Reported Transfers and new school:

Khamin Crow - Topeka Seaman
Tyler Dickman - STA
Jake Elbrader - STA
Hunter Furnish - Andale
Mike Kenny - Olathe North
Lucas Maki - Andover
Chance Maynard - Dodge City
Skylar Olson - Rossville

No matter what happens, a kid has to (should) do what he thinks is best for him (or what his parents think is best for him).
I don't know enough to comment on the courtesy thing but we as humans should always try to be courteous shouldn't we.

Yes, it appears the Univ of STA had another good summer in recruiting. It can be hard to say no to the tough sell they give kids and their parents. I just wish more kids and thier parents would be more loyal to their old school, their old coaches and most importantly to their old teammates.

A majority of the young men that will be wrestling varsity for STA this year spent quite a few years wrestling for their Kids' Federation Club. I don't believe that it was a tough sell for those wrestlers, or for their families.

And some of the kids wrestling varsity for STA this year wrestled for other high schools in their carers. THAT'S THE POINT. The University STA (and other private schools) don't have to play by the same rules. Selling (recruiting) should not be happening.

STA has a wonderful youth program. Their high school program seems to be very similar, a lot of great people, parents, wrestlers and coaches. By the way, I don't give a squat about the whole private school debate. That is a choice that can be made by the wrestlers and their parents.
