Can't say I know who "your" players are, what kind of schedule they've played, or where they are headed next year and it doesn't really matter.
I still contend that their tougher schedule will have the current Bandits more prepared to face D-1 competition than kids that play for teams that don't play that level of competition. Bottom line, Goshen is not Boulder, Stingrays is not Demarini, ASA is not PGF.
I do agree, everyone has their own reasons and chooses their own path from the choices that are offered. I'd also contend that performing at a high level versus high level competition will afford more qualilty opportunities to choose from.
That said, the cost, level of commitment, and level of competition is not for everyone.
Absolutely good luck to ALL of them....
