What about the southern corner of Wisconsin where AWA is from?

I thought AWA had 3 locations, are you saying only the Southern corner is a hot bed or the entire AWA program?

Valiant Prep. Arizona

Talent starting to flow more steadily into D1. World qualifiers and medalists.

City of Chicago is potentially on a trajectory to improve. Depends on how a few things shake out. We’ll see
Won’t get to the suburbs level but much better. Hopefully. 
 

 

BTS Chicago is amazing. Facilities, coaching, whole life education. I'm a big fan. That organization will produce a lot of talent and be a feeder program for the whole city. I am as hopeful as you. The kids who come out of that program will be the leaders in their high school rooms.

I was talking about the Heartland location and of course meant to say southeast corner

Ya, what's with that? Too hot? Or just no interest, generationally? If UCLA took the leap, it would help a ton.

Established areas:

Central Valley, California

Pittsburgh, PA

Lehigh Valley, PA

Cleveland, OH

North Jersey, Jersey

Chicago Suburbs, IL

Where is the next hot bed of talent? Where should there be more/better coaching to help build up the area? 

New Jersey is certainly not limited to North Jersey. The Monmouth/Ocean Co.(Shore Conference) area is at least as productive.

GA is putting out some quality wrestlers. Former VT stud Yates is involved with a club near the Atlanta area, I think. One recent notable success from that area is true freshman VT stud Henson.

I haven’t heard anything like that. The recent college guy running a location is the older Madrigal. Either a club decided to go under the BTS umbrella or they’re waiting till the gala to reveal it officially

Micic club is not associated with BTS, he is trying to create a place where foreign wrestlers can come train for a month or two.  He thought Chicago would be an easy place for them to get to and train.

Don’t have a problem with it. Just curious if it is or isn’t involved with BTS after what the other poster said.
