Something else to keep in mind is that there are Freshman players in many schools that could play varsity, but that doesn't also mean that they should.
Scott Sexton at Oak Lawn started there as a frosh, and maybe he could've started at any number of other schools -- but he probably wouldn't have.
In that area alone:
* Richards had Whitney and Kyle something (signed with St. Joseph).
* Reavis had Mueller starting as a soph - and he lost out on varsity time as a frosh because they had 3 capable SS (the older Mueller, Lucas, and a kid named Joy).
* St. Laurence had a kid playing that might have been all-league
* Marist had a handful of kids on that side of the infield that were all-conference
* Brother Rice had a kid from the Berwyn Bulldogs
My point is that he had the talent (at least offensively) to play for all of those schools, but wouldn't have been the varsity starter because they didn't need him to be.
what kid from the bulldogs?
