I have never understood this line of thinking. All a school can do is tell them they have a good chance of being a future first rounder if they put in the time and effort. Everything that happens after they are selected is up to the player....not the school.

Or a school can tell them "play here against our annual competition, using our facilities and coaches, surrounded by our support systems for both during and after college and you have a higher-than-usual chance of becoming one of the best players at the professional league."

6 players in the Top 100 spanning the past 15 or so years is a pretty good indicator of preparing players to do well.
