They may have all been HS standouts and UA this and NIKE that, but in the end it's impossible for 28-35 players to get playing time and that's not an opinion, its just simple math


So can we extrapolate and say that some of the UA this and NIKE that players got there through political lifts? Because if UA and NIKE chose the best, then the best would see the field over the other less-recognized players.


The point is at the schools your talking about every recruit is a top player on their HS team or club team, but statistics indicate they won't all play at the next level. The same goes for academics, I'm sure every kid in an Ivy finished top ten percent of their class, guess what they all won't graduate top ten in their class - again it's not opinion or "bitterness" it's simple math. If you can't understand this concept then your hopelessly lost - good luck


What is the purpose of your post? If not to tear down the players then what? It is bitter and it is negative . You are attempting to tear the girls down by saying who cares if IL considers these girls the best? They will not make it at the next level (therefore they are not very good and the list is BS). Do you take joy in being so sure that some of these girls will not pan out? Do you root against them? If one of them doesn't get much playing time will it make you feel good?

You are correct, a certain percentage of recruited girls will never see the field but the reality is that the large majority of the players on that top 40 list will see the field and they will excel .
