Well, my *pre-judgement* was that HS ball (at least in our area) is a colossal waste of time if your end-goal is D-1 recruitment. My specific question was, "To what extent to div I coaches look at H.S. accomplishments in areas where H.S. ball is a joke?"
FWIW, I was actually looking for any *facts* or opinions to the contrary, but that was not the case. The only opinions to the contrary were based upon *school pride*, fluffy accolades, camaraderie, etc. which is fine, but not really relevant to recruiting.
So, call it insincere, but from my perspective, it was a *sanity* check.
No apology necessary.
I take offense at the "fluffy accolades" comment since that is what you stated after I posted about my dd. If you think All-State 1st Team if "fluffy" when we only had 2 classes at that time, you are mistaken. If you think that 1st Team All Area for 4 straight years in an area comprised of 3.3 million people is "fluffy" then you are mistaken. While my dd never played for accolades, she busted her rear more than any player I've coached in 31 years of coaching. She is THE toughest player I have ever coached. She doesn't deserve to have someone pass judgement on her achievements and call them "fluffy."
