That's the problem. He is promoting that all is good and they are doing great. It would have served a much better purpose to let them know that held their own without blowing the smoke, because, in fact, one of the kids my son had the conversation with sits in the low 70's as a JR. IMO, I'd rather my kid(s) understand exactly where they stand at all times, in comparison, to the other kids competing for scholarships and roster spots. So they don't come on a site like this their SR yr wondering why they aren't getting looks or getting contacted by coaches. They need to be prepared for real world experiences, not the "rah rah, all is good", "we'll be fine" talk. Once the kids buy in to that type of mentality, it's hard to unravel that and rebuild.
