I’d be more interested to find out what the player has done on previous travel teams re: teams played, stats, etc. Granted I know the stats won’t be perfect depending on who kept them - but maybe just knowing teams they played and where player batted in lineup or who they pitched against might help you gauge level of play a little better.
I take all HS stats with a grain of salt. Like angispeds mentioned, if it’s Maxpreps it probably doesn’t paint the whole picture.
That all being said - I’d proceed with caution. Way too easy for people to portray someone they’re not on SM.
Good point.
Honestly, most (good) coaches know every girl the age of their team. We know all the '09 girls in Georgia very well, and don't usually even need tryouts because we've watched them play for years.
