Some off the top observations....
Didn't seem like the hsbbweb had as many draftees this year but perhaps many of our members kids were not draft eligible this year....
I am curious, for those who have now been through their first scouting/draft experiences... What do you wish you would have known before this whole process (e.g., scouting/drafting) started that you know now?
One thing I seem to see every year is some post here that it is almost a certainty their kids will be drafted and yet they go undrafted or later than expected. Sometimes, it appears numbers are exchanged between player and team and maybe that has cooled off interest in one way or another.
Here's my thought... Why give any team a number? How about when they ask what is your number, your only reply is "We want to be treated fairly for the round we are drafted." IMHO, leverage does not begin until a player is drafted so the ultimate goal is to get drafted and then worry about the money - you can always turn it down if it does not meet your needs. After seeing the draft process around here for so many years, I believe many players and families believe a D1 scholarship is their leverage. I have come to disagree with that philosophy and of course I could be wrong. It seems to me no leverage exists until a player is drafted. I'll be hard-pressed to back down from that position but I would be curious to hear from the esteemed members of our boards.
