Alot of discussion about changing the number of classes. Here are some pros and cons:
Pros for change
Iron sharpens Iron
State title/placement means more to D1 recruiters
Cons
Small schools with gaps in their lineup will find it difficult to grow
Pros to keep it as is
Easier for small schools to grow the sport and recruit more wrestlers
More State title/placers may help kids get noticed by D2, D3, and NAIA recruiters
Non collegiate level wrestlers have a better highschool wrestling experience
In short I feel keeping it as is favors small teams with holes in their lineup and changing it favors elite individual wrestlers and good wrestlers who never see tough competition until Regionals or State.
Cons
Elite wrestlers will continue to have to wrestle other tournaments to find greater competition and strengthen their resume for recruiters
What else am I missing?
