Foecke was rated #2 in the country, a known commodity. Kalynn is nowhere near that at this point. I think its just ridiculous to say kids from lower class schools are somehow flawed for the future because they haven't played in higher classes. It would be ridiculous (if anyone had actually said that).

It would be ridiculous (if anyone had actually said that). How about this. Kids despite their talent playing for C and D schools are less recruitable due to competition? Is that poltically correct enough for you free?

I think its just ridiculous to say kids from lower class schools are somehow flawed for the future because they haven't played in higher classes. I haven’t seen anyone in this thread say the players are flawed because they play in a lower class.

I haven’t seen anyone in this thread say the players are flawed because they play in a lower class. less recruitable due to their lack of competition? Maybe. If you’ve got talent, the coaches will find you. However, sometimes by playing in a lower class, one might have to make themselves more visible by playing up. The really good ones in the 7th and 8th grades play high school ball. The small school kids play better competition in club ball. You have to get noticed in some way. If you don’t find better competition, you won’t improve.

These are all great points and specifically mentioned in the OWH article from last fall that I linked on this thread yesterday. Here's an excerpt: In spite of these direct quotes from Kalynn Meyer's father (a former college track coach), I'm sure holiday is correct in asserting that playing strictly at a small high school doesn't limit an athlete's recruiting opportunities.

It suggest to very good athletes that maybe they need to make arrangements to go somewhere else larger to ,'get noticed.' Husker Football and Volleyball were built on small town athletes with Husker hearts . Its worked very well for the volleyball program and when the football program got to big for their britches and decided to overlook athletes like Danny Woodhead and others because they couldn't possibly be good enough they lost the heart of their program. When you start pushing this agenda, then you are going to lose your base and if thats ok with you elitists then by all means promote it. You guys know best...just ask you. Its a sad commentary when programs from rural communities are fighting so hard to stay viable and competitive and we have this attitude from Husker elitists.

Going back a few years, for those of us who remember. Hayley Thramer came from a D-2 school (Ewing), the smallest division in the state. She was pretty good at MB, at least while she was healthy.

She was pretty good at MB, at least while she was healthy. that entire list I posted was girls hailing from Class C and D schools. I think this mentality comes from club coaches and programs who feel as if High School coaches are inferior to their coaching. I would pick a few high school coaches any day over club coaches.
