    Apparently he is down to a top 2.. DePaul and Washington. Even if he isn't getting minutes on his High School team, he has length and isn't completely unathletic like Timmins. So at least theres some potential for defense and some easy dunks.

    Not saying you're incorrect but that just doesn't make sense. In what world is a seven footer not getting minutes on a high school team? He should automatically be "better" than almost everyone on the court just by virtue of being taller. Unless he's playing in a super competitive hs league and going up against other D-1 studs.
    Not necessarily.

    Mommies and daddies who have paid big bucks for little Johnny on a travel team apply a ton of pressure on the high school coach. They demand minutes for their investment.

    Lots of coaches cave when called into their AD or principals office for a meeting.

    You’d also be shocked at how many big kids get washed out of high school sports as freshmen and sophomores because they haven’t fully developed yet.

    This is true but HS sports are so political so many kids get fucked.
