FW: pre-season polls

[Schroeder, Tom]

This part of the post makes no sense whatsoever.  Just because Chadd was
rated very high right before his sophomore year, means that many of the
players in his class hadn't been seen in high level competition or hadn't
developed yet.  In Chadd's case, he played for a high school team that made
him the top dog and didn't necessarily show what he could do or how good he
may be. Very few of the "top" kids in the class in the early part of their
recruitment end up being exactly in the same spot when they go to college.  

Chadd then took it upon himself to go to Oak Hills Academy to focus on his
academics and to insert discipline into his life.  The transformation was
great with Chadd.  He came onto the #1 High School team in America as the
back-up point guard to Justin Gray (Wake Forest recruit?) and proceeded to
work hard and earn the starting spot on the team.  This was primarily due to
his diligence on defense.  He became the stopper for the team, much like
IMac was.  He can do all of the things a great point should be able to do.
He may not be putting in 20-25 ppg but I'm not so sure that it is great for
a team to be led in scoring by their point.  Because if the other team can
shut down your point from scoring, they have effectively shut down the
controls of the offense.

"He's had it then lost it.  It's awfully hard to get it back again"?!?!?!?
Where do you draw this knowledge from?  From all of your experiences as a
top high school point guard??  Chadd has already done everything he can to
prepare himself to play in the Huggs system.  Save the second guessing till
you've had a chance to see him play for a season or two.


<Chadd has the most potential of the new recruits to bust.  He's had it then
lost it.  It's awfully hard to get it back again.  If he does, he was at one
time considered the top player in his class.  Let's hope the Huggs factor
plays in here again.>
