Correct. Dak wasn't supposed to be as good as he is but he worked his ass off and has enough physical tools. Staley has a better arm than Dak from what Dak said but doesn't have that work ethic that Dak has (most people don't have that level of work ethic). Stars don't take into account how you will fit into the system or how hard you will work. It also doesn't take into account the coaching you will receive in college.
