Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4158744, member: 5823"] History and my personal experience would cause me to disagree. WCBB is a very top heavy sport and UCONN is at the tip of the top in terms of attracting recruits. When you consider the roster is limited to 15 and there are 4 classes at any given team at most there are only no more than 10 kids in each class that even have the ability to make a contribution at UCONN. The HS rankings are a data point and the problem is that some treat these rankings as absolute poof of .....( Insert your own argument here) ......player X is a bust, or player Y proved that rater to be wrong, player Z was underrated. Another point that bears repeating from the [USER=343]@meyers7[/USER] post in this thread is that not all classes are created equal. Just because a player is ranked #1 does not guarantee success because the class as a whole might be considered weak. The two best players in WCBB last year were both freshman. [/QUOTE]
