<p>"The anecdotal evidence that I can point to is that kids from my d’s high school with limited resumes and big-time talent have gotten into big-time programs while those with extensive experience, a lot of it in pay-to-play camps and such, but with less talent, did not get in. The college athletic coaches I know have a saying, “if camps and lessons could make you a great player, then Major League Baseball, the NFL, and the NBA would be full of rich kids from the suburbs.”</p>
<p>“Not to say lessons and camps and shows aren’t worth doing, they are all great, just that building-up-a-long list-for-the-sake-of-building-a-long-list won’t necessarily help you get into highly competitive, talent-based programs, per se.”</p>
