Proudparent - I agree that the main difference between mid-major kids and Big 10 kids is size (and speed). All the heart in the world won't let a mid-major player keep up with Kelsie Michell for Ohio State or most all of the Maryland players. And just because they are undersized does not mean they automatically have more heart. Emily Wood has as much heart, brains and ambition as anyone on the team. But she has a handicap, her size, and because of that she is just not going to be major player in the Big 10.
Now since two of you have thrown out the 2-3 year window, I have a question. What will be acceptable as a record after two years, after three years?
