Thought you meant the class they came out of HS with. Even still, there's a difference when taking 2 yrs off.

The elite players are going to be in the draft.

Elite players don't always enter the draft. A college elite player is different

Yes that is considered Elite earnings. To earn at that level they earn better

Top 10% is elite? There are approximately 4000 D1 basketball players. You

Yes. 400 elite players. 357 teams. 1.15 elite players per team. We have 4.

There are plenty of people in the NBA I wouldn't classify as 'elite'

Dissenter

They were elite in college, but that doesn't mean they are elite in the NBA.

Some of our players were elite in HS, but not yet in college. Give them time.

"elite" is a subjective term,

It was on EPSN, but here is a more recent article.

ESPN had Mika, Emery, Haws, Dastrup, Childs & Rose as top 100 national

Indy Coug

That is very debatable now! Probably the L.P success gave them better numbers.

Local Utah people may overrate them but

I will agree. There is a difference between elite and lottery players.

Elite is a strong word though

Not really. Elite is exactly what they are. They aren't the best, or the top

They're not called elite until only 8 are left. 8/400= 2%
