Appreciate your analysis as always.

In this case, it seems that the less-athletic kid earns some intangible merit badges to fill the void, if you will. Winner, confidence...eh. They're all confident. I assume they've all had their fair share of winning (we don't usually get high-level recruits from losing programs, if not state champions).

And while I personally prize the multi-sport kids -- I think these young kids get way too hyper-specialized and admire the heck out of families and educators who support talented students in their broad set of interests, including those who want to play two or three sports -- I'm not convinced that this doesn't place them at a competitive disadvantage to collegiate peers who are playing this particular sport for 52 weeks a year.

But I'm excited to see what everyone can do; I hope all the guards get some early minutes. Pre-conference games are more fun when we get to see that diversity of skills. Though I guess this'll be the shortest pre-conference in 15 years, down to 11 games because of the longer ACC schedule if I'm not mistaken.
