My basic point is this: Unless AS has a lineup with 3-5 Division 1 bound players (whereas two of which are ACC/SEC caliber) to go along with a handful of others who will play at some level in college (ie, 8-10 college bound players) then, generally speaking, they are not of the same caliber as the top half of the SED. If they do have such a lineup, then I stand entirely corrected.
I simply didn't see it.
Heels, I respectfully disagree with useing the conference or division of a school a player has committed to as a measuring stick, too many variables to make that quatifiable. Let's not pretend to know why a player decided on the school he did or what other offers he had.
I agree with you, to a point! I know of a number of young men who may have been able to play at "A" school, and chose to go to "B" school instead, for any number of reasons. And I'm not sure I've tried to pretend on why "a player" decided to go to one school over another. I've not referenced anything in my text in the context of an individual.
My message has been in reference to a collection of talent.
Considering a collection of talent, no one can logically argue that a team of ACC commits is not more talented than a team of Div III kids. If that is where you stand, then we do in fact, respectfully disagree!!!
