Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 4848027, member: 474"] Its really a function though of where you start.. Very few kids are coming out of the class d-c and doing all this extra stuff and getting a ton of value for it. You might get a few D3 offers from it You move up in NY to class A and see something and on occasion the B kids find a way But then if you have 20 kids on a team and every few years someone makes it thats great... I also think though a ton of kids who might have talent never get that far because of all this extra stuff they cant find money or time to compete and quit long before they ever show their talent. In my youth coaching probably 25% of the better bball/baseball kids never even played much beyond the early stages because people valued sizea/aggression early on more than instincts or talent.
