Hey guys,
Recently, I have seen A LOT of discussion invade many threads comparing a high school to future college success. The big one is the debate between Xavier Foster and Bowen Born. Both are fantastic players (at least in high school), but one is seemingly leading his team to the state championship while the other is already out before he even got to Des Moines.
You'd think that the one leading his team to a State Title is the best in the state, but he is not. He's a two-star committed to a mid major. The other is the best player from Iowa since Harrison Barnes (don't @ me with Weiskamp crap).
I remember watching tape of Carson Schleker, Darius Lee-Campbell and Jakolby Long and thinking they were going to be All-Timers to put on the Cardinal and Gold, while I thought others like Willie Harvey and Naz Long would be wastes of scholarships.
So I want to ask you guys. How much does the HS Career matter?
