re: College women's elite 8 vs high school boys

Assuming we're talking about a good boys HS team, they could basically name the score. I never used to think that, until I got some insight into this exact scenario.

Several years back when I was still at UGA, we had a pretty good women's team at the time. They were ranked probably around 15ish, so while not elite they were definitely a "pretty good" womens team. Good buddy of mine was the 6th man on our HS bball team. About a 6'0 white guy who mostly assisted and played ok defense. Granted our HS team was really good, but the point is this guy was a moderately good HS player with zero chance of playing anywhere in college. Coach Landers ended up getting a group of guys like my friend together to scrimmage the womens team a few times a week. They were all like my buddy, former HS bball players that were moderately good that just ended up going to UGA but would still play ball at the rec center for fun. He said that they used to flat out dominate the womens team. The difference in the speed, skill, agility, size, etc was just night and day. And this was just a rag tag collection of former players.

I have no doubt that a good, high classification HS boys team could run circles around the elite 8 womens teams.
