I can elaborate on my postion...
now to get you to understand my perspective can be very skewed ha
i have not seen a lot of Indiana Wrestling sadly, which that alone makes my opinion worthless ha
but im saying i feel th the overall skill has decreased.
which after thinking more deeply in to it i also think back to tsirtis, angel, andre, reece, and even howe.
which is kind of unfair as they are probably the best bunch in a while out come out. Indiana may not have that caliber of wrestler but they have a ton of "half angels" if you will making the depth of the state better
which makes me now want to say that the "DEPTH" of Indiana is on the rise, while the "Strict Talent" may be lower than in years prior.
if that doesn't make sense its not your fault, im very hard to understand at times.
ALSO
i did what Y2 asked and surveyed some Ohio and Michigan and even PA placers
zero of them stated the class they succeeded in
example Matt Clum was a 215lb State Champ. (i had to ask him what division he won D2 btw)
Michal Lybarger was a 2x State Runner-up (this year i finally learned it was in D1)
Derrick Hill took 3rd place (just asked him, divison3)
not one of these kids stated i was a Div x Blah blah and then end it with a pouty face and say it was meaningless, all of them said it with pride and a feeling of accomplishment..
