Being good at any one helps in the others


If a wrestler is good at folkstyle, and adds more freestyle and/or greco training, he'll probably become a better folkstyle wrestler - and vice versa.

But I don't know if you could look at a young man doing 100% greco or 100% freestyle, and necessarily know with any certainty if he would become an all American at folkstyle. (And let's face it, the top programs are only recruiting likely college AAs.) So I guess the point of my earlier post was that it would be hard for coaches to evaluate Russian folkstyle talent when no one is doing folkstyle there. And with only 9.9 scholarships, not enough to get the known talent they want from the US, I can't see them wasting any amount of a scholarship on a foreign project case.
