I don't think high school state titles correlate. Wando has been good for a very long time.

Mauldin and Riverside have been very good for a long time, yet Clemson, Furman and USC-Upstate have never stocked their roster with local players. All D1 colleges in the Carolinas recruit nationally. Heck, look at little D2 Belmont Abbey's roster....many of their impact players are from California.

If South Carolina colleges begin harvesting Palmetto State girls, is it because of successful high school programs like the three mentioned above, or would more credit go to the club teams who are showing positive results in the Region III Premier League?


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
