There are not many wrestlers at the college level that didn't start wrestling long before high school. I would bet that every name mentioned started as a youngster. If a coach or program wants to stake claim as being part of their success I think most of us are ok with that. Most of these kids were dang good youth wrestlers that did battle with each other at the Washington State Championships, many of them in all 3 styles. They also competed on Washington's National Dual teams that had huge success. I guess if you can show us some documentation that would suffice. If I'm being honest, it's laughable that someone mentions a couple names and the message board trolls jump on it like unemployed Twitter employee with too much time on their hands!
