[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 260726, member: 2426"] I think you are underestimating a lot. Almost every high school in the country also has a football team with a small number of "top" players. All of those schools filter into a smaller number of power football schools(because some of the mid-majors in basketball are regarded as highly as P5). It is extremely difficult for a high school football player to ever get on the field for a P5 program in football either. I am not attempting to say that basketball is not competitive, rather that football and baseball are just as competitive. The average high school player in any sport will never step onto a college field. Also, I think you are underestimating the number of pure "athletes" on college campuses. Despite the fact that he isn't in baseball shape now, Tebow could have probably decided to play baseball in high school and college instead of football and been successful. Smelter is an incredible athlete, but do you intend to say that: Calvin Johnson is not a "pure athlete" and could not have played basketball; Michael Johnson is not a "pure athlete" and could not have played basketball; Morgan Burnett, Philip Wheeler, Demaryius Thomas, Anthony Allen, etc could not have played a different sport?
