My biggest worry is how people extrapolate out the success of that team to
the college level and assume that we are sweet 16 bound. That game was typical, where you have Lone Peak with three high D-1 b-ball prospects (along with a D-1 quality football player and a very good high school player in Connor Toolson), playing against teams with one or two college bound players and winning pretty convincingly and finishing as the top (non-prep school) high school in the country. Even an Aaron Gordon can't make up the disparity between the other three or four positions on the court.

Yet that game where they played the prep team who had four other D-1 players on it crushed them pretty convincingly for their only loss. I want to drink the kool aid on them, and I think we have some great players coming in with the Lone Peak kids. But I still think we need the superstar that can carry this team in a close game, or an offense that can get the best out of all the "well above average but not elite" players that we will have in abundance the next couple years.
