@TPM posted:I think it depends where you are from. In Florida, where I live, a red flag may go up if the player is strongly committed to a top program and never played varsity. And yes, a good legit tournament/showcase team is a plus.
And correct, life isn't always fair.
Curious: is the red flag for the player, or for the HS team/coach? Around here, it would be unfathomable for that sort of player to not be V (and often from 9th grade).
