Your second sentence is dependent upon the truthfulness, and accuracy of the first sentence. Yet you provide no evidence, which can substantiate your conclusion. I have been involved with the team since 2001. I cannot recall LS having 2 transfers on the team at any given time. So, how can the main reason for their success, rest on the shoulders of 1 wrestler, or even 2, or 3? The argument is absurd.
Mikey Sewell won three state titles. In those 3 years, Inglemoor finished 17th, 27th and 20th. LS went 3rd, 1st and 2nd. I think Tony was the only big name transfer on those LS teams ('03 & '04).
There are two main groups of people, who are always busting LS's chops over recruiting. The first group are fairly new and have obtained their information by rumor or that supplied by equally uninformed people. Generally speaking, they are not mean, or trying to slam LS in a vicious sort of way. Then there are those who may have been around a long time, and are openly hostile to Brent and his team. They know just enough to make a case of circumstantial evidence and highly embellished reasons for establishing their conclusions. Some do it jokingly, while others are really our to discredit the team.
There are many people out there who are jealous of LS's success. Year-after-year, Brent brings another powerhouse team out. They excel in the classroom and on the mats. Seemingly, some people just do not think it is fair, to have so much success and yet not be made up of prima donnas and bad attitudes.
It blows my mind that LS wrestled Blair Academy in a dual. They had to beat Easton (PA) and High Point (NJ). Blair beat them handily, but they are the top program in the nation. (The state of NY put together an all-star team and wrestled Blair. Blair won by something ridiculous. If you look at the box score, LS was in most of their matches.
The bottomline, LS is a great program, is not dependent on transfers. They win by those things champions win by.
