jbbaseball,
Thanks!
David Adams was a team mate of my sons for many years when they were younger.
He definetly was an "A" player. He also was a highly ranked HS player and projected top rounds who was drafted in a lower round (20s) for his talent, due to his strong committment to UVA.
I also know that he would have liked to have played at Clemson. The position he played was tied up for at least 3 years (Taylor Harbin). I had a long talk with his dad about this a few years ago, he told me that the coaches at Clemson were honest and up front about everything. He chose a program in the ACC where he would play immediately.
I think that UVA is a perfect example of good recruiting. Finding young talented freshman and allowing them to play and develop early, instead of restocking each year.
JMO.
