So your current contention is that X is MAC level and Xavier is a perfect fit...? I will let you try and reconcile that one yourself. Maybe nobody notices. ;-)

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

I had a MAC school assistant coach tell me after the State Tournament that he will play in a Major D1 conference not a MAC school.

Flight crew - don't you know that you aren't allowed to have an opinion that isn't lock-step w/ Dman? He'll badger you until you see the errors of your ways... He's the know-all, see-all...
You stated who you thought could play at what level disagreeing w/ Boulus and that was a crime? You weren't tearing down kids, just disagreeing with some guys list of where he had them going.
Somebody has to...

An opinion is your view and is valid if supported by logical and coherent arguments or supporting factors. I think you will find that the posters on here who have a difficult time with my posts tend to be frustrated when I illuminate their arguments are lacking with logic and coherency.
A great example would be effingA's participation in the team thread on this BASKETBALL forum where he says...
"All the great ones play multiple sports...period."
This opinion statement lacks logic and coherency on every level. One could point out Dakota Mathias, Xavier etc. to demonstrate the absurdity... Yet effingA and those who think like him wish to have their opinions treated the same as a well defended position opinion. You can opine that the sky is polka dot, it doesn't mean it is logical.
No doubt the "speak without thinking or researching" crowd take issue with me. But I am fine being dismissed like a Rick Bolus or a "twenty year old kid"... People who have actually demonstrated a history of logical success in their chosen endeavors.
You do have the right to any opinion. But you don't have the right to be taken seriously. You earn that right. Logic and coherency are the tools...

As far as I'm concerned all he did was fall back on Mr Bolus's list and some 20 yr old kid.....

Well those two "know-nothings" PLUS the multiple DI coaching staffs who have offered scholarships to those players YOU labled DII. But I get your point... You think your opinion based upon...well nothing provided...should be treated the same as all of those...
Who could find any fault with that logic and coherency?

Someone said Simpson is being recruited by Michigan State. Izzo is great about getting talent from Ohio, especially northern Ohio. And where is Judge Judy when you need her?

Name a great bball player, who in their youth, didn't play some other sport? We can argue semantics but I bet I'm closer to being right than you saying they all specialize.
Feel free to write a lengthy rebuttal on how I'm illogical...

If specializing was so important, why was the first question out of the college recruiters mouth "do they play other sports" when they first contacted me about athletes that I coached? They ALL wanted to see them play something else other than their main sport because they already knew what their abilities were in the sport they were recruiting them for. The college coaches liked to see them in other settings and how they conducted themselves. All the good ones play multiple sports...period. Even LeBron, until it became clear that he might lose a once in a life time paycheck. They good ones work on their SKILLS while they play other sports... Parents need to spend more time preaching team concepts and getting good grades because there's a helluva a lot more money for academics than athletics and we ALL need to be able to accomplish common goals with teamwork!
It is your serious desire to now pretend the discussion was about youth sports? Those college coaches were asking you if they could magically go back in their time machine to watch your high school athlete play T-ball? So if a kid played T-ball he fits your definition of "multisport" athlete in high school...?
I assumed, with good reason, that all parties knew "multisport" was referring to current high school participation. But if you want to pretend that T-ball qualifies... I will indeed concede that ALMOST all the great basketball players are "multisport" fluent.
By standard definition, the argument remains. I think logic and coherency demonstrated by your own words will indicate that 9-10 days ago you were talking about high school sports...and now have changed the argument.
On a side note I once bowled and played "pin the tail on the donkey." Can I get a "multisport" waiver too? :-D
FYI...I never said they ALL specialize to my recollection. I'm pretty sure I would have said MOST or ALMOST ALL...since that is the reality for high level basketball players circa 2014.
Edit to add...by high level...I'm talking about guys on that Bolus list type of player. The ones I am aware c of are ALL "basketball only" these days. But I don't know them ALL.

'15 Versailles wing Kyle Ahrens tells me Michigan State, Tennessee, Xavier and Dayton have been in contact the most lately. @Corey_Albertson

Bramlage to ND is kind of surprising....if true, we wish the young man good luck
Can't find any fault in ND, great school and academics......no "basket weaving"
courses available there.....RM
