Stats mean nothing in high school really, you have to get a kid to read D1 offenses and the schemes, and figure out what happens when the bullets fly.
For instance, by all accounts Joe Ganz was ho hum in practice, but when the lights went on, he had "it", on the other had Lee is a practice warrior, but when game day comes he doesn't have it.
Sometimes you can take the best throwing motion or athlete, and he just can't get it done (Jamarcus Russell). Other times you get the unheralded player (Tom Brady) that becomes a star.
I will say this, it's easier to teach throwing mechanics and reading defenses than it is to teach speed, acceleration and elusiveness.
This is all pretty much true, high school stats often times dont mean a thing. Good post
