I agree very much with your post. We have some other areas that have been good to us recruiting. Ohio has been very good to us. Edgar Bright is a star in the making from St. Edwards. LJ Bentley will be coming in from St. Edwards to compete at 125/133. Also, Eli Seiple is from St. Paris Graham who sent us the Thomusseit brothers. They also produced David Taylor and are essentially a wrestling factory. Eli Seiple won the Ironman and will be a very good wrestler for us. I also agree that at 184 either Bono or Soloman will be down there next year to cover that spot. The past five years have been the best stretch for Pitt wrestling that we've had. As you mentioned conference championships were not something we were used to, and now, prior to this season, we had four straight. We need to recruit WPIAL hard and get the best talent from there. However, We've done well in Ohio and have also had great success with the non-state champions hard working types from WPIAL. See the Wilps family, Zanettas, and Tassers. In addition Keith Gavin was never a state champion and became a NCAA champion at Pitt and a current USA team member. Recall our two time NCAA champ Pat Santoro never finished better than 3rd in PA states. I completly agree that we want the best talent out of WPIAL we can get, but we can be and have been successful with other recruits. Don't forget when Cale comes in from PSU and when the Brands come in from Iowa or John Smith from Okie State, they shows these kids a lot that we don't have. We are at a point now with a new AD coming and renewed interest from our Chancellor in sports, that we maybe able to make a push to upgrade what we have and capitalize more on recruiting. I don't think it makes any sense to not support coach Peters at this point. He has proven he can recruit with that 2013 class, and I think he will recruit well moving forward. Our athletic department needs to help them out a little bit with more support.
