And those guys are only 3 of the thousands to come through high school in SoFla, so what's the miss rate again?
I agree you need to take a chance on some local guys, legends who dominated because they were able to do it for a reason.
Atwell is tiny - 5'8-5'9 and 150. But....look at his sparq rating. It was 111.24 with a 4.5 40 and a 4.01 shuttle. That shuttle is ELITE. ELITE shuttles lead to elite slot guys and corners. His vert? 39.....again, ELITE! Guys like Atwell are the ones you consider cherry picking and taking a flyer on.
That said, many fans are quick to say he's a miss now but he was only recruited by Louisville, FAU, FIU, East Carolina and Georgia State. If we steal kids from those schools those same fans are just as quick to smash coaches for being lazy failures on the trail. You can't have it both ways.
