Reply to "One Sport Athletes(?)"

The college level athlete is always going to be the best athlete/s in their high school and the "offseason" HS coaches will make accomodations/ask them to play their sport. Hence they are multisport athletes in HS due to the demand for their talent. i.e. at my son's hs the point guard was an NFL running back, the defensive end, played low post and played catcher in the minor leagues, the shooting guard played professionally in Europe and played CB, and leftfield in HS. I might add these three players also played offense and defense on the football team because they were the best athletes.......

There was no way they were going through HS playing only one sport with their talent. The kids that specialized generally had to do so to be competitive with the athletic kids.

Pitchers excepted
