And guess what? If he "earns" his stats at lesser program, guess who comes calling anyway? And they didn't have to sit a year or two in the meantime. More than one way to look at it. That's why JUCO ball is about to take a massive jump in talent just from '24 kids who D1 doesn't want because they are all getting 1 year players from portal rather than take project/recruit HS kids, which I don't blame them for that either.
That is some good points. There are way more baseball players than football and basketball. Many many times a player is maturing a year or so after high school also. Yes to 34 on his take on mid majors being more competitive and 24 for his take on minor leagues being cut. But still with the Sec being the best conference it shouldn't be as much as say Sunbelt Conference upsets IMO.
