Is there a big difference betwen the talent on the teams? For example how much better is 'A' than 'B' or 'C' than 'D'
This question appears often in a variety of threads here on BOTC and the answer depends on the prism through which you look at the problem.
Let's say that there are 20 players per team and the players are ranked so that Team A has players #1 to #20, Team B has players #21 to #40, and so forth.
Now, if you compare Team A with Team B by looking at Player #20 versus Player #21, the teams are identical. In fact, it is likely that Team B's Player #21 could take some minutes on Team A is place of Player #20.
However, on average, Team A averages players with a ranking of 10 while Team B averages players with a ranking of 30. So while the best of Team B can play competitively with Team A, the numbers tell you that Team A on the whole will be composed of higher talent players than Team B.
To your question, there tends to be a few truly outstanding players in the Team A rankings which further skews the differences between Teams A and B.
As the move further down the curve, the differences become less noticable although they are still present.
How does that work out during the recruiting years? Do schools look at all teams or just the 'A' team?
It's clearly obvious how it works for the YJ organization. Look for example at there 2013 recruiting class kids from 4 different teams like 70 kids done. So all this talk about A B C D looks like it's worth it to be part of these teams they are finding a place to go to school with YJ name regardless of team.
