Likewise, I mentioned that both of their 2024 teams are more talented then their 2023 teams.

I am not sure what drop off your talking about for Leading Edge. Their 2023's are good and their 2024's are more talented and on the verge of being really good. The bottom quarter of both BBL and Leading Edge 2023 & 2024 are subpar. The top 17 on BBL 2024 and top 16 Leading Edge 2024 are all really good. Everyone on both clubs knows the 2023 players very well and who is talented and who is not, on both of their respective 2023 teams.

My initial post gave both teams compliments. I was keeping it positive.

Fair enough. But I don't agree with your assessment of the talent on LEs 2024 team (there are only 2-3 strong players, not 16). BBL is probably 10-12 deep for 2024s. Not trying to be negative, just realistic. 2023 LE is probably 4-5 elite kids, about the same as BBL. 35 D1 kids is a major stretch. It's just not the same program where they had 10-15 top level kids each year.
How do you have this much knowledge about the 24s & 23s? Are you reading the post about who is going to what showcase or are you really watching the two teams play? To my knowledge, the teams have only been at one tournament together. Additionally, the club directors made sure the kids didn't play on the same "all-star teams"
My point, you have no clue what you are talking about. The original post might have been optimistic but not unrealistic. Maybe BBL & LE are made up of very smart kids whose parents can write the check so all 50 kids play D1.

I have seen them. Your response confirms you don't know what you are talking about. You can't just write a check to get your kid on a D1 team.
12.6 scholarships.. all things being equal, kids that don't need financial aid are more likely to be taken than kids that do. To quote the great Bill Murray "That's a fact Jack"

This is very incorrect. They divvy them up into 8ths with only a select group getting 50% and full.
Is that what your club director told you.
