Under-Appreciated Aspect Of Our Teams Success

This is how they can take 3 star guys late. I have seen 3 star guys not have major college offers real late in the recruiting process. Like March late. Those players went on to a smaller school and got drafted.
What he said about development is key.
A kid that's a Fr or So. may just be bigger/faster/stronger than everyone around them at the time. But, they may have reached the height of their capability. Plateaued.
Well, you can't develop a player that has plateaued any further. And, they won't help your football team. I think Chris Peterson at Washington is great at talent evaluation as well as our staff.
With transfers appearing to be the new normal in college football - you had better be right about the players you bring in.
Or you had better have guys that have a 1. willingness to get better. 2. a ceiling to get bigger/stronger/faster physically.
Awesome stuff!

So, how can the pros restrict football players from being drafted until they are 3 years out of HS, basketball players from being drafted until they are a year out of HS, and who can figure out why baseball is the way it is. Sounds pretty unConstitutional to me. Do you think the has ever been a HS sophomore that could contribute to a pro bball team? Think Zion would have been drafted for his future ability? How many times have you heard it said that TL should shut down the rest of his college eligibility to prep for his pro career?

There is plenty of rules about drafting college players who are considered adults. Why wouldn't high school players who are minors be subject to restrictive rules?
