Quick question
How often are DII and DIII players placed on these mid to upper level summer league teams and if they are placed do they recieve the same playing time as DI guys?
These are good questions. I would say it is fairly often in my experience. I think the most important factor is the ability of the head coach to get his players placed. I believe some D3 coaches get more of their kids placed than some D1's.
Playing time seemd like it was distributed fairly in my experience but I am aware of situations where some kids did not get to play as much. I noticed as the summer wore along, that the more productive players started to get more time. Initially it seemed kids were given more chances to show what they could do. Injuries take a toll on almost every summer team and usually there are many opportunities to play sooner or later.
