The sheer "numbers" game isn't nearly the predictor you might think. Give me the more relevant number -- legitimate "next-level" players -- mixed with strong, consistent coaching. Also, can't say I'm sure about kids getting "screwed" by the numbers. Wando's boys' coach has gone out of his way to carry as many as 30 kids on varsity, and I'm here to tell you, they're not ALL high-level high school kids. indeed, some might argue that carrying that many creates more problems (playing-time hassles, lack of reps in practice, etc.) than it solves. Also, a number of Wando's current kids wouldn't have even made varsity if all the East Cooper kids on BE and Magnet "stayed home."
