Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3117276, member: 9403"] Those two things are possible to both be true - she can have a bad game where she looked uninspired and unimpressive, and she could also be the national POY. Think of games like Lauren Cox vs. Stanford compared to Cox vs. Oregon this weekend. They're practically different players. This gives me a lot of sympathy for the recruiting services that have to rate and rank players all across the country facing different kinds of competition and being just one player in a team sport. How much of their performance is based on their talent? On their team and HS coaches? On the kinds of sets and plays prevalent in high school? Will that talent, ability and desire/focus translate to college, which presents a whole different set of challenges and opportunities? Will they grow into their bodies well, or not? It's a wonder the top high school players generally regularly translate their game to being top college players. And I'll say this - I watched the Hull twins win the same HS national championship game last year and they both looked terrific on offense - moving around the basket at will. This year? Guess what - being 6'0 and probably 150 ain't going to let you push too many people around in the paint in the PAC-12. Different competition, different sets to learn, new challenges. It's clear Fudd is a top recruit. It's also clear that a 16 year old has good days and bad ones. I know I sure did. I was just lucky that my bad ones didn't happen to air on national TV. [/QUOTE]
