They are looking for athletes. Not the first time I have heard this. Many college teams would rather take a kid with more athletic ability then a kid with less but better stick skills. They figure they can coach him up and at the end of the day his physical talent will be too much for the guy with good stick skills but a ceiling. This always upsets parents whose kids have put in a ton of time and developed skills, that a kid who did not put in as much time simply gets taken because he is bigger and faster sends them off the cliff,

That's why I think recruiting these kids now seems so odd. I know my son is going to be over 6 ft - but now as an 8th grader he is 5'4'' he'll be a way different player in few years.
