Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2839157, member: 730"] I think we can agree that schools like Stanford, Duke, etc. do not have any "secret" knowledge or books that only their students have access. IMO the education a student receives, especially at the undergraduate level, is up to them. What schools like Duke, Stanford, the Ivy League schools, etc offer is a credential that opens doors when applying to grad school or interviewing for a job. Those schools have a high % of students who come from wealthy and influential families and meeting and networking with the children of corporate board members gives graduates of those schools an edge. This fact was well established back in the early 70's in a book called "Who rules America", where it was shown that a huge % of those in positions of power in the US went to a small group of prep schools and attended a small group of colleges. I stated that Hailey Van Lith would be an asset for CT. She's on a path toward being a college AA. My preference for PB is based on perception. When I think of Hailey Van Lith I see her doing great things for herself with the ball in her hands. Sure she does more than that but that's my perception. When I think of Bueckers I picture her deflecting a pass on defense or throwing a pass down court to an open team mate. Bueckers is a great scorer, both inside and out to the arc, but her game is so much more. They don't give points for style or flair but as fan in the stands looking for entertainment there is no one I'd rather watch than Bueckers. [/QUOTE]
