    How so? It clearly says "maybe" Robe should..."and chances are better" (according to the rosters I included in the post). There is nothing absolute about it whatsoever.


    Why are you so butthurt about it?

    Would you have been happier had I just said "When the team was good, there were a lot of public school kids with a few privates mixed in. Now its not and there are a lot more private school kids"?

    Apples/Oranges comparing anything in Texas to LA. . Many Texas public schools are very similar to La private schools in resources. Allen plays in a 60MM stadium. Less than 5 miles away McKinney built the same. Public school coaches are some of the highest paid public officials in the state.

    What is relevant are kids that play and do well at tje 6A level in Texas. When you start in a school with 5-7+k students...you are a good player. Competition level is high.

    Right now @ Plano Sr baseball.....This team has 3 Big 12 commits; 1 SEC; 1 AAC (My boy...he is out for year) and 7 others committed to D-II or JC. All 12 play travel ball......all 12 were recruited because of their travel ball coaches. Public school coaches in baseball dont do jack squat to market their players to colleges.

    FWIW....we are an average 6A team.

    The point is it has nothing to do with private vs public. Those teams had gamers, these teams have soft players. It's ____ty recruiting.

    Did you just call all the current players (mostly from private schools) soft?

    Seems like you are confirming the OP's observation.

    Last night's team would be in a ballgame with them. Seriously. Our RPI is 111 today, projected to finish 148. I've seen a dozen high school scout teams that would beat last nights team.

    I’d settle for them throwing one of their oven mitts at this point

    Ryan Gill was a tough AF ball player. Remember him? I loved the way that kid played the game. More recently, Evan Powell and Joe Robbins and Kennon Fontenot were tough, hard nosed players. Hunter Kasuls is tough. I'll add that I think Daniel Lahare is tough and plays the game the right way. I see a lot of it in Orynn Veillon too, and Lahare and Veillon are private school guys.
    Not baseball but I've never seen a guy with more fire and emotion than Jake Delhomme.

    He was willing to do anything and everything in his power to not lose.

    Private school ... at least the 1992 version.
