Most coaches will tell you it doesn’t take them very long to evaluate a players athleticism and ability. The coaches, especially the ones from the better programs can tell in less than a minute.

If they are deciding on a recruit in a minute, then that fully explains how so many kids get overlooked and why so many kids who are hyped fizzle out. Yes they do get some right.

The post did not say that: "they are deciding on a recruit in a minute" it stated: "it doesn’t take them very long to evaluate a players athleticism and ability" and "The coaches, especially the ones from the better programs can tell in less than a minute".

Who they decide to recruit is something totally different, i.e. the coach may see that the player is fast enough, athletic enough and has good skill but happens to be lazy, selfish, has a low lacrosse IQ, bad attitude or whatever.

Your premise that "so many kids are overlooked" or "fizzle out" is simply not reality, not many kids are overlooked and not many fizzle out.
