@RJM posted:Then there’s the lower end of D3. I was out biking with my son one day. We stopped to watch a lower end D3 game. After two innings my son commented, “Neither of these teams could beat my high school team.”
His junior year roster had 3 future D1’s, a D2 and 8 D3s.
I don’t understand the point of this post.
Yes, on balance D3 players are not as talented as D1 and D2 players, and their level of play may not be on par with some high schools. But I guarantee those lowly D3 players are playing to the best of their ability, are glad to be out there, and are working hard. And they are doing it purely out of love for the game. They deserve our admiration and respect, not scorn.
Good grief.
