Ty is like a female sideline analyst in football. Nice to look at but you know they never played the game and are told what to say. Don't take this stuff too seriously.
Keep the faith dad. He might give your son some print one day if he's any good. We know you're feelings are hurt.
To the Dad who's feelings are hurt and the Dad who's proud as a peacock. Do a little research on these prior lists. Go back to 2012, 2011, etc. See how many of these kids were major contributors. See how many were leading scorers? Further see how many (few) became College All-Americans. Then, and only then can you determine how important these lists are. You will also be enlightened as to how important they are or aren't in predicting future success. To the proud Dad, enjoy the accolade! To the other Dad, don't sweat it.
That is the same as any list in multiple sports. Check the HS football lists, they are far from perfect. In fact, didn't some NFL scouts prefer Ryan Leaf to Peyton Manning?
Exactly the point. btw Clay Matthews didn't receive one football scholarship out of HS. Walked on to USC...
I have, on multiple occasions seen kids in the top 20 shut down by unranked kids. It is not the end all and be all. All the kids on the list are great, but there are many who were overlooked, who are as good or better.
