I'm sure they would love more kids on the team. But where are they going to get them? The data doesn't support your view that kids want to wrestle at those schools, or any schools for that matter. If they wanted to wrestle beyond high school, then those 10-20 kids would already be on the rosters at the schools you listed.
I know that when my senior season ended, I was done. Physically and mentally I was done with wrestling. It seems like 97% of HS wrestlers were/are like me.
It's only recruiting if a public school kid winds up at a parochial/private school. It is not recruiting if a kid goes from a parochial/private to a public. Nor is it when it is from public to public. Don't you know how this recruiting thing works?
Right. It is hard. This data tells me that nearly all HS wrestlers have no desire to continue wrestling in college. So classing wrestling will not change that. I think if people want to convince others that class wrestling is the way to go, then the narrative needs to change from exposing kids to college coaches to something else.

Based on this data, I'm not seeing how classing wrestling in Indiana will create a big bump in the number of kids wrestling in college. Only 3.6% of HS wrestlers wrestle in college.
So a kid that is not interested in going to college (due to grades or opting to go to the military or the workforce) will all of a sudden be interested in going to a small, expensive D3 school with high academic standards just because a coach contacts him? That might be true in some cases, but probably not all.
When you team #winsninestraightstatetitlesandtwelveoverall you can be as serious as you want. #greatestdynastyinindianahistory.

Kempf won by DQ. As I recall, he was wrestling a great match and had Lydy frustrated to the point that Lydy got DQ'd for something (biting maybe? Can't remember exactly). Not sure superior conditioning had anything to do with it.
And under the current scoring system, the 03 MD blows them out of the water there as well.
As for the 92 LN team, that team had 4 individuals. That's it. No way that was a top 10 all time "team".
But if you don't have those practice partners then you may not reach your full potential. Granted, the best wrestler on the planet is at Nebraska. But at PSU, there will be a lot more high caliber wrestlers to work out with.
