PrepDig has some big discrepancies with high regional rankings for kids,yet they wouldn’t be ranked nationally a serious red flag 🚩. Agreed, but that’s exactly what I meant by “work in progress”. Some PD regions are extremely well covered and ranked. Others not so much. But I believe that overall they’re trending upward. Not so sure. I would assume the various regions communicate to get a consensus. I’ve seen where a kid was 7th in a state and not ranked nationally like some of her peers in the same state who are ranked below her. I get it’s very subjective and lots of politics involved as well. Some of these writers work at clubs,there is definitely some bias if they have a say in who goes where.

Not a fan of Cook saying this to a 17 year old at all, but let's get the quote correct. "Okay don't be another midwestern girl that goes out to California and then comes back with her tail between her legs. And if you do, don't call me". That's materially different than what posted above. Not here to defend the statement. A simple, "that's a fine university, good luck in your future" should have been enough. Also, was any projecting going on here... since his daughter went to UCLA, and came back And the context around the comment and her desire to play on a competitive beach team matters. He's implying that midwestern girls who go to cali and don't have success; come back wanting to play indoor. And he has no desire to coach those that do. Still not something to say to a PSA imo. Wait, who did he say that to?

That's because great players will emerge regardless if they go to Nebraska/Texas/Stanford... or to Cincinnati/Pepperdine. This idea that (insert some specific school) is some pipeline to the national team is so stupid. There is great coaching all across the country, and the national team trains great players in the off season regardless of what school they go to.

And great players can still be great even in spite of their coach. Mac May survived.

Lol i just missed some of the statement and edited it. That’s just a mistake on my part but no it absolutely does not materially make difference whatsoever lol what on earth?

OH I didn't think about this. Maybe bitter from his daughter leaving to UCLA / California schools in her early years.

Don’t doubt it was an honest mistake. I still think the difference is material. Where he was imply she left with tail between her legs matters. If he had said tuck tail and go to cali, that would to me imply that she was somehow afraid of failure or the competition level in the Midwest/B1G and was leaving in a shameful way. What he said about coming back after with tail between her legs implies the failure/shame occurred out west. But enough parsing an old bitter man’s shade to a 17 year old.

Hmmm what you put there is not what I wrote but whatever. But you clarified, “To you” it would mean that. So this is a non issue imo
