The importance of this discussion is that BB players with reasonable test scores/GPAs have a chance to go to big name colleges if a coach wants them. You do not need top scores if these are colleges you might be interested in. Many will wrongfully assume they don't have a chance.
I don't have any issue with the idea of dreaming/applying and hoping to go the "big name colleges if a coach wants them."
The problem is the use of football information from 2001/2002 and to equate it with baseball admits in 2010.
I fully believe that every HS senior should have a reach list of schools. They should have a reach academically. They should reach athletically.
But, they also need to be realistic and have solid back ups in each area.
No one should think that football admits at big name colleges equates to baseball and surely should not rely on what I consider outdated information dating from 2001 to 2004.
BHD, I don't have any problem with these views you are providing. I just don't think the articles are worthwhile. To me, they don't prove the point you are advocating.
