Sour Grapes oh those Sour Grapes!hh:

HMMMM... that seems a bit off topic to say don't ya think? Kinda reminds me of a 5 year old sticking his tongue out after tattling. Why would you think that was a "sour" comment. I asked a legit question which ( in my opinion) pertained to the topic, and has still gone unanswered. Let's hope their defense is as strong as yours, in reading some of your other posts I see you do get pretty defensive when it comes to anyone having a comment which may not be positive in regards to the Pburg program, and you say that it's because the kids read these boards. So does mine, ( and he's had his share ). Let's hope they have someone to teach them to use any criticism as motivation, (at least that is what I try to teach mine), and not harbor bitterness. You can't shelter them.
I do know a lot of the older boys in this program, ( not too much about the younger guys. or the ones coming in, but the Pburg feeder schools usually are fantastic contributers) there is some great talent, and a lot of potential talent, most often it takes a good leadership, and coaching to turn a potential talent into a great player, but these kids have to keep their heart in it (and we know where that often comes from). We all know talent and size alone won't always get the job done. I hope for the boys sake (and truly won't be surprised as I have said before if they do) they have an awesome season.
