No one is objecting to the theory but a lot of your logic is flawed. therefore specious. look at the top programs freshman and sophomores in the mix at many high schools. how many high school teams at the higher level play all seniors? the age range is more like 15-18 and a few maybe 19 yrs. old for high school players. about to go to next level to "play" the following year? very few play freshman or even soph year.
More like 16-19, and on average 12-14 seniors, few Freshman contributing on top 10 nationally ranked HS teams. Playing means practicing everyday. Yes they will be playing and most at that level are in games by Spring their first college year, not saying starting, but these are the best of the best. Again, we are taking top 10 HS's in the nation, not just the best one that comes to mind in your area.
If you think the any HS team, even the ones loaded with 20 year old seniors would have a shot against a top 100 D3 team, you are out of your mind.
Son plays on a top 35 D3 team. Conference championship team and NCAA tournament team. These are men. 5 of the starters on his team are either D1 transfers, or kids that passed on D1. You have no idea how big, strong and fast these guys are. Would blow the doors off any HS team.
Oh BTW, D1 snob, I'd put money on the top 20 D3 programs beating the bottom 20 D1 programs on any given day!!! Some might even beat the bottom 30 or 40...
