I haven't commented in awhile...not had the time

Gotta laugh at the idea of this. I will definitely agree that there was some talent in that combination, how many of those guys got a chance or look from a college? Now I'm not saying that there wasn't good athletes, but for the general part, a college team has more. Now if you wanna take 20-24 guys and say thats your roster, then sure, maybe that combined time would win. Problem is they don't have a 24 man roster, they have 50-60? And those low end college players are still or were still another high schools 'better player'. Now could they play with them? Probably. And with the wonderful world of turnovers or other factors, who knows but all things being equal, they probably get ran down and it is similar time matchup to watching say Pound play Gate City or Powell Valley some years. They can battle for a half, or longer, but numbers tend to win out in time.

Out of all those guys who were on that team(s), a few did play college ball and/or a bit more. Thats is understandable but I think we tend to over-inflate some who were 'good' high school players and make them more than they were. They looked great due to being a talent against a lot lesser talents.

It's the same idea of 'stud' prospect in baseball or basketball. Sometimes those guys who dominate the level below, go up that one more step and look very mediocre or worse.
