In my experience, a high school player can have high potential, but would have farther to go, and thus more variation, relative to a college kid. So, yeah, a high school prospect can have great potential, but he is a long way from realizing it. Not only must you wait years longer, but he might flame out along the way. College draft picks are no sure thing, but they are much closer to MLB ready. I like drafting college stars from a good conference like the SEC, because they are so much further along in their development. A high school player with great potential is still a high risk draft pick.
