Reply to "Lesson for High School Players From College Summer Leagues"

We had guys this summer that were outstanding high school athletes in basketball, football, track...and even one in soccer. Play as many high school sports as you can handle.

See my post over on the recruiting section where I detail a discussion I had with Buddy Bell (VP in charge of Scouting and Player Development for the White Sox). He had a lot to say about kids playing multiple sports. He is not a fan of kids who specialize in one sport. Said its happening way too soon these days.
