Very intersting

We often have discussions regarding why certain geographical areas produce more drafted players and why some players get drafted later than others and make it and why some sooner than others don't.

I am quite surprised to learn that teams employ very few scouts (and pay them poorly) for the amatuer level.

Keeping in mind, that each team has 50 picks (some more) I really give credt to the job they do.

So the next time a scout comes to visit your son, understand that he may be an area scout for 3-4 maybe more states, how many kids he must try to identify for the upcoming draft and your son is one of hundreds (high school, JUCO and 4 year schools) he has to interview and watch for the possibility of being drafted.

Kind of mind boggling.
