For all of you warm weather folks that have already started official practice, what do kids that play winter sports do? Or are there no kids that play basketball (probably not hockey where you guys are) and baseball??
In Texas, I would say there are several kids that play football and baseball. Basketball overlaps by about two weeks into the start of baseball practice and scrimmages. (Unless that team goes into the playoffs) So, those kids that play hoops can miss out on some important practice/scrimmage time.
With that being said, I know of several kids that are D1 athletes that played high school basketball.
One guy I know took his team to the regional finals his senior year as a point guard, then went on to start at SS on the baseball team. He is now playing D1 baseball at Texas A&M.
