@adbono so glad you said that! You and @TPM hit the nail on the head. It's about potential. Kid still has to live into it and no matter how good you are, it is very hard for an 18 year old to step on campus and immediately excel against 21/22 year olds who were also PG 9.5/10s (or whatever the average grade is at your school) out of high school. But now they have 2-3 more years of training, reps and experience. More muscle and conditioning and the coach already knows what they are capable of at the next level. So...back to OP, sometimes kids can work their way into consideration and sometimes they can't (or as mentioned before, they leave for a whole host of other reasons).
