Players who have just finished their sophomore year of high school, with just 2 years of hs play and 2 of IWLCA tourney level play are but a pittance of what they’ll be after their first year at even a mid-high level D1 program, the intensity of power 5 (all I know anything about) fall ball, 20+Hr weeks starting end of august, the speed, physicality, size of players, is LIGHT YEARS ahead of what comes in hs level. Coaching quality at high level d1 programs is the biggest factor in their success, period.
