With reference to Randy May's recent post:
 
>This is much too general of a statement. I've know too many 18 year old
phenom prospects who failed to continue to develop and have seen 20 year
old come from nowhere kids go from 5'11" 170 lbs to 6'1" 200 lbs 2 years
 
        I guess I'm not sure what point is being made here. It sounds like
agreement with what I was trying to say. Yes?
 
<<All of us can cite vignettes which are good counter-examples. In my mind,
they just prove the rule. Dave Hendrickson's example of BC is a case in
point. The next year those kids he mentions were on the power play and
playing for the national championship. True. And they were joined on the
power play, if memory serves (and I am not going to bother to look it up),
by a twenty or twenty one year old freshman from Niskayuna who had done
BOTH the prep school and the USHL thing.>>
 
>Excellent attempt at making no point whatsoever.
 
        Perhaps so,  but if you read Hendrickson's post and then mine you might
understand that he was giving a counterexample that I pointed out was
contradictory in itself.
