CACO3GIRL,
I know it was initially about 13-15. And I agree that development should be most important.
However I was responding to a post by FFXFireman, earlier in the thread about college recruiters. I don't doubt what he heard college recruiters say. I just know what they do in very large numbers. And that is follow the team with the most talent, no matter how well that team develops talent. I should add, many of the top teams with players from all over the place, still help develop.
He also went on to say development is important at every age, which I agree with completely.
