Well, whoever Gutwrench is, he's right. One of the biggest problems that Kansas wrestling has is the fact that it refuses to objectively look past its own borders. Perhaps if it did it would get better. Gutwrench, keep up the good work -- face it guys, if he didn't want to see it get better, he wouldn't bother, or did that not occur to anyone?
Coach Holmes:
Excuse me for asking, but how many high school State Champions did you produce while in Kansas?
Better yet, how many high school state placers did you develop?
Back in your home state of Iowa, with the exception of Sean Stender, it was out of state wrestlers (Gallick from Arizona, Johnston from Kansas and Perry from Oklahoma) who placed highest for your state universities at the NCAA tournament in St. Louis this past year.
Post Gable era, wrestling in the state of Iowa does not fair much, if any, better than Kansas. The last two NCAA Division I champions for any Iowa school was Cliff Moore from Iowa and Zach Roberson from Kansas. Let us not forget Cael Sanderson is from Utah.
In my humble opinion, Kevin Klemm and Wes Harding are both missed.
With all due respect, based on your coaching achievements, I do not believe any Kansas coaches need to listen to your gibberish.
