    Wheeler high school is currently at 32, I have a few that are not allowed to practice until physical are turn in. I believe my real number is at 26-28. I will know in a few weeks but I’m usually good on keeping everyone who steps on my mats. This is actually the highest numbers we had. Full line up, With a 14 that I had for a least 2-3 years so I have a nice core. Wheeler only having 531 kids enrolled , and only on our 7th year of having this program. And we are finalizing our plans for our new wrestling room. Things are moving forward in the right direction.

    Your absolutely right. The amount of money in wrestling scholarships are just not even worth mentioning. Yes, For a highly rank wrestler, I’m sure they do fine. The rest well not so well. So academics is where things even out. Like I said use wrestling as a tool for college. When wrestling becomes the best tool is when academically you barely qualify for that school. And it’s a low acceptance rate( of students who qualify). But your been recruited by their wrestling program. That’s an A’s in your back pocket!!! If your transfer your kids make sure it’s for academics and a good environment. All that other nonsense doesn’t really matter. Talent is talent. Work is work.

    I’m going to give my take coming from a  small school, being a coach and a father. When I made my decision to stay in a school that was small, academically fantastic and no wrestling program. I knew that the reason I was there and move my kids to Indiana from Chicago was for the academic and the environment. It wasn’t always easy. Sometimes I had my doubts. But I always felt that wrestling was a tool to use for my kids to get a better education. And I believe I made the right choice. Having my oldest be able to attend a very prestigious college and wrestle d1. My second going on same path. And having 7 years of wrestling program existence we produced three college wrestlers, the fourth one did not want to wrestle in college. I am going to tell you that going to a big school or a top program is not always best. If your eyes are set on what they do in wrestling only, well in my opinion that is what hurts the sport. There’s a lot more than wrestling, like academics, growing up with your classmates, that bond and memories that can’t be build by just a wrestler. This are the things that make men that make a difference in life. Not always about winning. Unfortunately a lot of parents are so focus on winning that some of this kids don’t wrestle in high school bc they are burn out. And so some high school wrestlers that were considered “studs” “hammers” did not achieve what was “ what they were supposed to” don’t end up wrestling in college!!! I have seen it over and over. And I also seen wrestlers that were not state champions do well in college and sometimes even get better scholarships than some state champions. (Academics) you can be great anywhere you go, that honestly on the individual and what they are willing to sacrifice for their goal. There is something special about knowing your wrestlers for 12 years and seeing them still love the sport and become productive men in society.

    Why bother trying to legislate or control the transfers?  If parents/students are willing to go through the effort of transferring to another school for the benefit of academics, sports, or extracurricular activities - I say let them go.  Why hold kids out for a year - they are 14-19 years old and only have 4 years to play sports.  Let them play.
    The small schools will be okay.  Key points for a small school coach is to cultivate a good youth club - that will be your feeder in future years. And, make the program something that parents and kids want to be a part of.  It's the same as a workplace - if all you have is the job with no sense of belonging (via close-knit workgroup/friends, team-building, company mission that you believe in, etc).  If you have those in place, then I believe the local kids will want to be a part of it.  Sure, a few studs might move to another school - let them go and pursue what they are looking for...
    I also think there will be those students that transfer AWAY from the big schools to smaller schools.  I see it happen currently with larger team sports.  Where the student may not be a starter for the large HS team, they may be viewed as a superstar on the smaller HS team.  Could happen (maybe already does?) with wrestling too.  If you're at Brownsburg, for instance, it's going to be very tough to crack the varsity lineup.  A wrestler transferring to a smaller local school could be their varsity star and get an opportunity that they couldn't otherwise get.
