Message: [QUOTE="Capt.

At big schools, depending on the sport, a lot of kids don't play for the HS team. Baldwinsville's 2019 class has 3 Division 1 level goalkeepers, and a former national team level field player (injuries beat him down) and a D-1 kid in the 2018 class. Out of all of those, only one played school ball last year. Kirby Dar Dar told me he was only the 5th or 6th best guy on his HS team, and some better guys never even played school ball. As he liked to say, he was good enough to return kicks in the NFL and at Syracuse, but not on his HS team. The 2 universes you are comparing are not stagnate things without other influencers. [/QUOTE]
