[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The StJ kids are talented, but hard to argue there are sure fire pros there.  A lot of that depends on how they develop in college. A great example in the Turner brothers out of Centreville.  AJ was highly regarded recruit with many offers who played at South Carolina.  He had a solid career but never made it to the next level.  His brother, Kobie, was not as highly regarded and walked on at Richmond.  He developed into a great DT and transferred to Wake Forest and was drafted in the 2nd round.  He is now one of the best DTs in the NFL and no one regarded him as a scholarship player out of HS.  Development and character really determine these kids futures.  [b]Sadly I don’t think the online school at your own pace sets you up for the rigorous schedule all athletes face at the college level. [/b] Also, Overton has been putting these recruited teams together for over 10 years now.  How many NFL rostered guys has he produced?[/quote]

Do you have any clue about the life of D1 athletes in revenue sports at Power 4 schools?  There is no "rigorous schedule", unless you are talking solely about the training schedule...academics are literally an afterthought.

My kid trains in the off-season with a player on the Tennessee baseball team and he said they literally have people who take care of their schoolwork, because he needs to be training 8 hours a day, 6 days a week.[/quote]
