[QUOTE="FrogCop19, post: 2677518, member: 72359"] So if you look back at my post, you'll see you are arguing the exact same position I was. Consider the bolded part above, and then consider that I stated that some of those 1) good athletes (better than projected) 2) "learn to work hard, while others fold" (worked hard) and 3) CGMFP has been successful with those kids because he gets them to "play with that famous Patterson chip on their shoulders" (put in a position to succeed). We also agree that we both know there are kids with natural talent AND the drive to work hard, and we prefer to get those kids. I will concede that you said evaluation of their potential is an essential part of the process, which is something I missed, for sure. As for your first sentence, that is actually NOT my point. My point was that a lot of kids that dominated at HS levels dont make it in P5 programs because they're not as good as they think they are, and dont have the work ethic to achieve their full potential. I don't know if this kid is one of those kids, but then again that's why I'm a middle school coach and not a talent scout for a P5 university... [/QUOTE]
