bballman, there are plenty of 5'9" kids that can throw hard.


Bum, I'm sure there are a bunch of them. My only point was you don't have to be big to throw hard. Many time mechanics trump size. Unfortunately, size often wins because they are seen as more "projectable". We are not to the point of being real involved in the recruiting process yet as my son is just a sophmore, but from what I have been reading, size is one of those things that "separate" one guy from another. That's not to say a small guy cannot make it, but he better be something special. I think the bigger guys get the benefit of the doubt and the smaller guys have to work extra hard and be extra special to be given that shot. I would think it's alot like the velocity issue. People say not to worry about velocity, just hit your spots and get guys out, but when it comes down to it, velocity is the separator. Probably the same for the size issue - it can be a separator.
