Allsports-Excellent post! And this is very important for all of us to remember. These young men have one week to learn the offense/defense and get use to teammates on both sides of the ball. Some have great games because of great plays, and others with a combination of great plays and a little bit of luck. And yes, there are obvious good plays.
The point is- it is not the right thing to do to "throw out the baby with the bathwater." The All-Star games are are have "elite" players come in and play a game together to receive recognition for their high school and future collegiate careers. These kids have talent. They would not be invited if they did not.
In these games, sheeut happens! If one plays "a bad game," it doesn't dictate their collegiate career- and I guarantee you that the players/recruits don't care much about their rankings at this point. It's a number...
The other thing that you all may not know is that most of the time, in these All-Star games- the "starters" are determined by coin-toss, draw names out of the hat, etc. In other words- if you have a great week of practice for "that" particular game. So never be surprised if somebody "starts" the game, and others do not. It makes sense- everyone plays..
Give them a break- a "pat on the back" for their accomplishments and wish them the best in the future!
(Except when/if they are playing LSU...)
